With a hydroponics garden, you can grow awesome herbs using a fraction of the resources involved in other garden systems.
That’s because plants don’t actually need soil to survive, and hydroponics gardening at its best yields high-quality crops using only the absolutely necessary resources.
In nature, many of the nutrients needed for plants to thrive lie within the soil. In order to receive these nutrients, plants extend their root systems. The quality of the soil dictates the amount of effort a plant will undergo to find those nutrients.
In a hydroponics system, a savvy gardener will expose plants to enriched water that includes the nutrients found in or added to soil. Furthermore, this water and its nutrient solution can be reused several times over, so plants receive the ultimate exposure to the resources they need.
Plants in hydroponic gardens do not need to extend their roots great distances, since they receive direct exposure to high-quality nutrients. Furthermore, they receive the optimal levels of these nutrients for exactly the kind of growth you desire. Therefore, you can enjoy a shorter growth cycle with a hydroponic growing system.
Ultimately, you can grow all kinds of plants in hydroponics systems using as little as 10% of the water you would for a soil based system. That’s why many commercial growers use these systems in large greenhouses to produce succulent tomatoes or gorgeous flowers.
In countries where land is in short supply, or where the climate does not favor agriculture, large hydroponics gardens provide fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
Hydroponics LED Grow Lights
Of course, plants need more than just water and nutrient solutions to produce excellent crops. They also need light, and that’s why an excellent grow light is necessary to any successful hydroponics system.
For years, plant enthusiasts recommended Metal Halide (MH) or High Pressure Sodium (HPS) light systems for hydroponics gardens. Indeed, these lighting systems produce the kinds of lighting wavelengths that result in photosynthesis, or the transfer of light into sugars and other carbohydrates within plants.
However, a single MH or HPS light may not produce the different kinds of lighting needed for a seed to germinate, sprout, and to ultimately produce the leafs, fruits, vegetables, or flowers being sought. Furthermore, MH and HPS bulbs by design spread light in all directions, so gardeners needed to purchase enclosures (ballasts) that reflect the light downwards as much as possible.
LED lighting, however, can provide all of the wavelengths and lighting needed for a wide variety of plants to grow during all stages of their life. That’s because LED lights can be precisely engineered to emit light at the wavelengths that result in the greatest amount of photosynthesis.
Furthermore, different colors of small, 1 Watt bulbs can be installed within a single, compact LED grow light, so the grow lights emit a variety of lighting, balanced for the different needs of plant life. And unlike other grow lights, LED systems emit light directly downwards, so you don’t waste money producing light that scatters in all directions.
Save Money With an LED Grow Light
Of course, the greatest benefit of an LED light may be in its energy efficiency and money savings for any gardener. Though they cost more than some other lighting systems to purchase, high quality LED grow lights use less energy than MH and HPS lighting and they last much longer than those other lighting types.
Indeed, by combining your intelligent, water-saving hydroponics garden system with an energy-saving LED grow light, you can grow crops at a lower cost than many of your peers.
At USA LED Light Systems, we only sell grow lights made in the U.S. that incorporate high-tech advances in LED lighting. Beware knockoff LED lights and beware vendors who use bogus claims to entice you into purchasing their systems.
Demand only the highest quality LED grow light products, because otherwise, you may realize too late that you’ve wasted your money on a crude, Chinese made light that wasn’t designed with the science of plant growth in mind.
