    Hydroponics has five main advantages for indoor growing according to Pacifica Hydroponics. It allows for expedited plant growth through increased oxygen to roots and direct delivery of nutrients. Growers can control the nutrients added to adjust for any deficiencies. The entire growing environment can be controlled to prevent pests and diseases. Hydroponic systems are also easier to completely flush and restart than soil. Finally, indoor growing is a fun hobby that creates a garden without outdoor dirt work.

    Advantages of Hydroponics

    There is a growing movement towards hydroponics and this week I thought I would share
    with you a relatively new company that you may not be aware of but if you are into this way of
    growing may appreciate.

    Pacifica Hydroponics in San Mateo County, a full-service indoor gardening store, maintains
    there are five advantages to using hydroponics for indoor growing. The grow experts at the
    newly-opened organic gardening store explain that by growing plants using mineral nutrient
    solutions in water, without soil, growers are able to expedite plant growth, control nutritional
    values, make deficiencies easy to correct, control the growing environment and, finally, have fun
    while growing their plants indoors.

    “Although our storefront and venture is relatively new, the owners here at Pacifica Hydroponics
    have 30 years of combined experience,” said Brian Haze of Pacifica Hydroponics, “Our
    knowledge of organic gardening and indoor growing is only matched by our passion for growing
    plants and organic living.”

    The staff offers advice and consultations for all of the equipment and products sold in their store,
    in addition to providing phone and in-person consultations on how to start indoor gardening.
    They even offer home consultations, where they help customers set up their entire garden and
    grow room.

    Pacifica Hydroponics says the first advantage to indoor growing is expedited growth of the
    plants. Compared to traditional gardening using soil, hydroponics provides plants with extra
    oxygen in the growth phase, which stimulates root growth. Plants that have ample oxygen in the
    root area are able to absorb nutrients much faster. Additionally, the nutrients in a hydroponic
    system are mixed with water and sent directly to the root system, whereas a plant grown in soil
    would have to take the time to search for the same nutrients from within the soil.

    Since the plant is not grown in nutrient-rich soil, growers are able to control the hydroponic
    nutrients. A hydroponic nutrient solution contains all the same nutrients as in soil, but the grower
    controls exactly what type of nutrients are going in. Just like plants grown in soil, fertilization
    with hydroponics systems utilizes organic and chemical nutrients.

    Too much or too little of the same nutrient can lead to a deficiency, and the ability to control
    nutrients instantly in hydroponic systems allows growers the ability to correct deficiencies
    quickly and easily. Discovering any deficiencies is also significantly simpler than detecting them
    in soil-based plants.

    Another advantage to indoor growing is being able to control all aspects of the growing
    environment. This includes pests, funguses and diseases. “By controlling every aspect of the
    grow, you are basically God,” said Mike Blasetti of Pacifica Hydroponics, “You control bugs,
    air, water and the total environment. Soil holds nutrients and is basically alive. It is hard to
    completely flush and start fresh with soil. Hydroponic systems are much easier to do this.”

    The final advantage of hydroponic systems is the fun growers have. Growing plants indoors
    allows individuals to create a garden inside their home, without the hassle of going outside in the
    dirt. Many indoor growers also see the advantages where ground agriculture or gardening is
    simply not feasible.

    Indoor plants are not only a sustainable source of high-quality, organic fruits and vegetables,
    foliage, and flowers—they clean the air of many toxins and release oxygen into the air. In fact,
    NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) recently announced the
    findings of a two-year study that suggest indoor plants may provide a natural way of helping
    combat “sick building syndrome.”
