  • S1 E2: Myth-busters: Hydroponics verse soil, what is better? Does hydroponic food lack nutrients?
    Jan 8 2025

    Welcome to Episode 2 of How to Hydroponics! Today, we’re clearing up common myths and exploring the main differences between soil and hydroponics. This isn’t a competition between the two; instead, we’ll help you decide which method best suits your conditions and goals. 0:00 False misconceptions about hydroponics| Soil Verses Hydroponics 1:55 Myth- Hydroponic Plants Lack Nutrients 3:21 Myth Hydroponics only uses synthetic nutrients 4:43 Myth-Hydroponics is cost a lot in electricity to run 6:18 Myth- Hydroponics creates mold in the house 7:46 Myth- You can only grow lettuce with hydroponics First, we’re addressing a big misconception: that food grown hydroponically lacks nutrients and is just grown in water. Plants absorb nutrients in their ionic, inorganic form, meaning they need salts and minerals, not complex organic matter. In soil, nutrients are eventually broken down into these ions through decomposition. But in hydroponics, we skip that process by adding natural salts and minerals directly to the water, allowing plants to absorb nutrients immediately and grow strong, healthy roots. Another myth we’ll tackle is that hydroponics only uses synthetic nutrients. While synthetic nutrients are an option, many hydroponic gardeners use natural sources rich in salts and minerals. Hydroponics simply delivers nutrients differently, using water instead of soil. Plus, just because hydroponic nutrients are added to water doesn’t mean they’re ‘fake’ or harmful. Hydroponic plants aren’t exposed to unnatural chemicals or pesticides; it’s a natural, soil-free growing method that’s safe and sustainable. Finally, we’ll debunk ideas like hydroponics is too expensive, causes mold problems, or limits you to growing lettuce. Hydroponics can be cost-effective, easy to manage, and versatile for growing a wide variety of plants beyond lettuce. Whether you’re new to hydroponics or looking to learn more, this episode will clarify why hydroponics is an efficient, powerful option for growing your own food indoors!"
