Cannabis growing out of thin air? That’s the idea behind aeroponics. This growing concept is becoming increasingly popular in industrial food production due to its environment-friendliness and excellent yields. Furthermore, when it comes to growing cannabis, aeroponic weed can be a fruitful and worthwhile endeavour.
What is aeroponics?
Aeroponics is a sophisticated way of growing plants without using soil as a medium. Instead, the plant roots hang in the air and get their nutrients by being regularly misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This cultivation method is closely inspired by hydroponics, where plants are grown in soilless mediums like coco coir and drenched in nutrient water. Aeroponics takes this further by eliminating any growing medium, subsequently letting the roots develop freely in a protected air container.
However, aeroponic cannabis cultivation is not without its challenges. What you need to succeed is the right equipment, commitment, and, of course, knowledge!
How does cultivating cannabis with aeroponics work?
In an aeroponic system, plants grow and undergo photosynthesis above a soilless medium, illuminated by grow lights. The planting bed covers the reservoir…
