Lighting Up Growth in the ISS Veggie Plant Growth System
NASA’s Veggie Plant Growth System on the ISS utilizes a sophisticated blend of red, blue, and green LEDs to simulate sunlight, enabling plant growth in microgravity. This innovative approach not only supports sustainable food production in space but has also inspired companies like NutriHydro to adopt similar lighting technology for growing crops on Earth.
Chelated Iron in Nutrient Absorption
Hydroponics relies on nutrient-rich water solutions, with iron being essential for plant growth. However, maintaining iron availability can be challenging due to high pH levels and oxidation. Chelated iron forms stable, soluble complexes that plants easily absorb. NutriHydro’s Iron Chelate plus Trace Elements ensures consistent iron levels, enhancing nutrient absorption and preventing deficiencies. Simply add…
Rockwool in Hydroponics
Rockwool, made from natural rocks and recycled slag, is used in hydroponic systems for its excellent water retention, consistent moisture supply, and superior aeration. These qualities promote healthy root development and disease prevention. Despite environmental and handling challenges, Rockwool’s benefits in hydroponics are significant. NutriHydro integrates Rockwool into their systems and offers it for purchase,…
The Dual Nature of Algae in Hydroponics
Algae are photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, from freshwater to marine systems. They play a critical role in ecosystems, forming the base of the food web and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. In hydroponics, algae can initially benefit systems by producing oxygen and controlling harmful microorganisms. However, their growth and decomposition can cause nutrient competition,…
