Water is always surrounding the plant roots in a hydroponic setup. Because water and nutrients are always present, it allows plants to grow faster and stronger. Plants can be harvested early which can result in more plants being planted per season. Another advantage of having water always present is that it minimizes the space needed to garden. Plant roots no longer have to spread out to search for nutrients as it always in reach. Since the roots do not have to stretch outwards, the nutrients which should be allocated to that task can be used in growing. Though hydroponic gardening has its advantages, it has restrictions on plant requirements.

Trail and error is the universal method towards improvement. A good way to improve is to keep a journal which monitors certain aspects of the hydroponic setup. Things to jot down would be the daily EC and PH levels, how often proper maintenance is preformed, what type of pH changers were being used, and of course how successful the plants grew. Combine new solutions to past mistakes as well as already established positive factors to improve your harvests.

The most important factor in any type of gardening is having enough nutrients available. In soil based gardens, there is never sufficient nutrient, which is why fertilizers are used in every soil garden. Hydroponic gardens operate a little differently; they use a specialized type of fertilizer which is customized to be efficient in hydroponics. Using hydroponic fertilizers are more difficult to use compared to soil fertilizers. Be sure to read the instructions carefully, the hydroponic fertilizers usually require a certain Ph and dilution level.
