What CEA can learn from NASA's plant growth experiments
This article takes a closer look at the biggest challenges facing CEA and how NASA’s plant growth experiments may shape the future of growing plants.
What should I look for when buying a pH meter for hydroponics?
Choosing the right pH meter for hydroponics comes down to accuracy, calibration, automatic temperature compensation (ATC), durability and probe care. Here’s what to look for when choosing the right meter for your grow.
What makes continuous hydroponic nutrient monitoring so challenging?
Continuous hydroponic nutrient monitoring is challenging because a nutrient solution is constantly changing. Plants take up water and nutrients at different rates, pH can rise or fall, EC can become more or less concentrated, and source water and environmental conditions can influence your readings.
What is the difference between continuous monitoring and manual testing?
Manual testing gives you a snapshot of your nutrient solution, while continuous monitoring shows how pH, EC and temperature change over time. Learn which approach is right for your grow.
The Golden Rule of Mixing Nutrients
Measure, mix, then measure again. A step-by-step guide to adding nutrients without shocking your reservoir or causing lockout.
Which hydroponic monitoring system is best for remote greenhouse management?
Remote greenhouse monitoring gives growers continuous visibility into pH, EC and temperature. Compare the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi for reservoir monitoring with the Inline version for nutrient and irrigation lines.
