Hydroponic cultivation systems are tremendously popular, and are likely to become even more so. Hydroponic systems are suitable for both small and large-scale use. Direct control options mean higher yields where correct nutrients are used.

Water recirculation systems
In a recirculating system the drainage water doesn't flow away but is reused. There are a few different kinds of recirculating systems: Nutrient Flow Technique (NFT), aeroponics, ebb and flood systems, and drip systems.
Using recirculating systems
There are many advantages to growing on recirculating systems. On the other hand, this growing method requires great precision and a close monitoring of the nutrients and the plants.
Everything about EC and pH using AQUA
In recirculating systems, the pH value can fluctuate more than in run-to-waste systems. The same goes for the EC value. So it's wise to check the EC and pH levels regularly. But... AQUA nutrients are balanced in such a way that you don't have to adjust the pH.
Growing on recirculating systems
There are a few things you have to take into account when you're growing on a recirculating system. You need good water quality, the right composition of nutrients and the right temperature in your grow room.
AQUA substrate, nutrients & additives
Not every substrate is usable if you're growing on a recirculating system. Also, there is a reason there are special nutrients for this growing method.
