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 WCS-1 water content sensor allows the user to monitor the % of water / nutrients within the growing medium. The moisture level / water content is displayed in real-time on the WCS module itself, the Aqua-x and the APP. That data is displayed on a graph (through the APP) and helps the user visualize the dry-down time, and to make adjustments to their irrigation timers / irrigation cycles. Up to 8 WCS-1 can be connected to a single Aqua-x. When multiple WCS-1 are connected to a single Aqua-X, the displayed value on the Aqua-x and APP will be the AVERAGE of all of the sensors.
