The water culture system is a somewhat general type of hydroponic installation for growing plants in a hydroponic indoor garden. Some specific varieties of water culture systems include deep water culture and direct water culture systems. In general, a water culture system involves plants that sit or rest above a reservoir with their roots down in the nutrient-infused water. These types of systems can be set up in various ways to accommodate vibrant plant growth.
Like Water for Clones: Tap, Bottle or Bucket?
Hydroponic growers everywhere are looking at the best and most effective ways to grow clones. Clones are simply small cuttings from larger plants, which are called ‘mother plants’ – the clone allows for another quick growing plant from an existing garden, rather than growing new plants from seed, which takes some time and energy out of the process. There are other benefits to cloning, but there are also some challenges, and many clients need to be more delicately cared for then those grown from seed.
Clones and Water
One of the big debates in hydroponic circles is how to provide water to cloned plants – considerations for clones are much the same as a greater strategy for mother plants, but some growers feel like clones need a bit more tender loving care and that means looking at every kind of element of the plant environment to optimize it for the best chances of cloning success. This can involve a lot of complex equipment for o

“Can I use tap water for hydroponics?” The short answer is that tap water, which is differently formulated in different municipalities, may or may not be good for your hydroponic reservoir. But looking in closer detail at some potential problems with tap water can help less experienced hydro gardeners to understand what issues they need to think about when introducing water into their indoor garden.
