ABOUT hydroponics

Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops using soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimise plant growth with nutrients, lighting and pH. Vertical farming is perfect for high density living areas or to save space.

Hydroponics is simply described as growing plants without soil. Hydroponics allows you to control more of the variables including pH levels, lighting and nutrients for optimal plant growth and produce yields. Water is the main method of delivering the nutrients to the plant’s roots, combined with growing media to help support the plant. Hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich solutions, so plants get more of what they need much faster and easier. Hydroponic farming can be used in locations where soil conditions are too poor to support farming, or where space is limited. It can be done anytime and anywhere!

The Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor (MBS-PAR) provides accurate and cost-effective measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from all light sources used to grow plants. The full-spectrum quantum sensor has a spectral range of 389 to 692 nm ± 5 nm. The improved spectral response increases the accuracy of LED measurements.

Used in conjunction with the Hydro-X controller, the PPFD sensor will AUTOMATICALLY increase or decrease the output level of your supplemental lighting systems to continuously maintain the exact lighting level (in PPFD) that the user selects.

*Sensors should remain dry and clean to prevent premature failure. Do not spray foreign substances or allow water / condensate on the sensors"
