Like other factors inherent to life,water and its management are crucial to the success of indoor cultivation. Administered in the right proportions,water transports plant sap and nutrients to plants through watering.
Indoor Discount offers a complete range of equipment for controlling watering water dedicated to plants.
In a horticultural context, thiswater control takes the form of :
- addition of Fertilizers & stimulators,
- hydroponic systems and equipment for irrigation and drippers,
- pH testers and EC testers visible in Measuring & dosing.
In short, well-controlled and well-adjusted irrigation water makes for a more productive and tasty crop.
What are the basic water parameters to consider when growing indoors?
Logically, two factors come spontaneously to mind, even for the most neophyte of gardeners. Both require daily monitoring of the nutrient solution and water supplied to the plants.
Firstly, nutrient solution temperatures are an essential point to monitor when growing indoors. Readable with thermometers and adjustable with immersion heaters (water heaters and tanks),watering temperatures should be calibrated between 18°C and 20°C, as temperatures below 16°C contribute to a noticeable slowdown in plant root systems.
On the other hand, pathogenic molds colonizing the root zone are to be expected above 21°C. Above 24°C, the oxygen content of the water becomes depleted, which in turn is detrimental to root development.
On the other hand, the quality of the water used, and more specifically the quality of the water used, is a key factorcison the other hand, the quality of the water used, and more specifically its purity, means more convincing results in terms of the quality and productivity of indoor cultivation.
Made chlorine- and heavy-metal-free by GrowMax Water 's osmosis units and filters, for example, purified water leads to nutrients that are widely assimilated by plant roots, resulting in a healthier, tastier harvest.
What instruments are needed to monitor water nutrition?
By acquiring these two instruments, the EC tester and the pH tester, the idea is to be able to measure and quantify the EC and pH values of a nutrient solution, and thus have them grow and evolve over the course of a crop. Initially, electro-conductivity(EC) measurements are essential to the success of a horticultural experiment, especially if it takes place in a hydroponic culture. By definition,electro-conductivity represents the concentration of dissolved salts in a liquid(TDS).
Otherwise translated into horticultural language, the EC tester measures the quantity of nutrients present in thewater used for irrigation. In conjunction with a pH tester, pH control also plays an active role in the success of a growing environment. Optimized uptake of the nutrient solution can only be achieved if certain pH values in the water are correctly adjusted and monitored.
The variations in pH values to be monitored vary according to the substrate used and the stage of cultivation reached by the plants.
