Growing Hydroponics Methods
How do I use the hydroponic method accurately?
I have actually never heard of hydroponics before until last week when my class required that we grow seeds using this method.I was instructed to place a wet napkin in a little dish then place the different types of seeds on the wet napkin. Call me skeptical perhaps I am, but is that all I have to do or is there more. Also how soon would it be before I see results from this? As a class we weren't told what the seeds were so I really don't know specifics. I am sure growth varies some on the different types of seeds, but I just wanted to know about an average time. Thank you so much for your help.
All seeds need water to germinate. Many also need light.
Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro water and ponos labour) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, without soil.
Here is a link to hydroponics you can do at home.

has anyone used aeroponics for growing anything.?
i am a botany student and am wanting any first hand info on using the method. i want to know if anyone has used it to grow bigger or brighter flowers or fruit. i have herd that it grows up to 50% faster than hydroponics. i have used hydroponics and am very happy with the results. i want to do some experiments with hydro and aero. please any first hand use. any web sites with any clubs or good kits or d.i.y. kits. any techniques or grow patterns. Any good plants to try out with the aeroponics. thanks for any useful info
I've had experience growing with different methods. I read once that during the coal era(forget what it's called) that the atmosphere was of higher percent CO2 possibly due to volcanic activity. At the time I was growing in a cistern under the back parch(old house) and since it was basically air tight I used CO2 tanks to increase the level. Great results.When hydroponics came out I built my own system that raised and lowered the water / nutrients. I read where it was the oxygen that was the key to my increasing success so when the liquid level was lowered I'd inject pure oxygen. Everything was done with timers. I cut the time from seedling to harvest to weeks instead of months. Remember I had a controlled environment for it to work so well. I haven't grown since the aero method came out but I can see where it could work. How about misting the top part with CO2 - water- nutrients and the roots mist them with O - water-nutrients. Something tells me it may be an expensive set-up and elaborate also. Happy growing
