ABOUT hydroponics

Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops using soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimise plant growth with nutrients, lighting and pH. Vertical farming is perfect for high density living areas or to save space.

Hydroponics is simply described as growing plants without soil. Hydroponics allows you to control more of the variables including pH levels, lighting and nutrients for optimal plant growth and produce yields. Water is the main method of delivering the nutrients to the plant’s roots, combined with growing media to help support the plant. Hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich solutions, so plants get more of what they need much faster and easier. Hydroponic farming can be used in locations where soil conditions are too poor to support farming, or where space is limited. It can be done anytime and anywhere!

The Urban Green 12 pack of rock wool cubes are perfect for propagation and a great growing medium that maintains perfect aeration and moisture levels at all stages of plant growth.

Rockwool cubes might be the most popular hydroponic growing medium. It’s so popular because it takes up minimal space, provides some incredible plant growth and doesn’t cost a lot of money.

Rockwool cubes come completely dry, so it is crucial to soak them prior to use.

Set your cubes in a tray that has some of your nutrient-rich solution in it. You an also just use regular water for this part if you want, but we suggest using the nutrient solution if you can. The cubes can be totally submerged or partially. This doesn’t take long and you’ll know your done because bubbles will stop rising.

Simple and easy to use, just plant your seedlings and add water.
