Leizig Air Circulation Fan Review

April 30, 2025 Erik Biksa Comments Off

For our Leizig Air Circulation Fan review, we’ve been operating the 12-inch MODEL CF12 air circulation fan in our hydroponic greenhouse for over four months. The importance of maintaining consistent air movement in greenhouses and indoor growing facilities is well documented

Hydroponics Research Hyperspectral Analysis

April 30, 2025 Grozine Contributor Comments Off

Existing methods of observing plant roots are often limited by their inability to monitor the physiological information of root system under actual agricultural conditions. To address this limitation, we developed a novel method that enables nonlaboratory monitoring of the growth characteristics of crop root systems. This study explored the application of hyperspectral imaging technology to analyze the dynamic growth and aging of root systems throughout the cultivation period, specifically focusing on spinach

Zero Waste Aquaponics?

April 23, 2025 Grozine Contributor Comments Off

That’s where this new research steps in: coupled aquaponics are closed loop systems that recycle much of the fish effluent rather than reusing it outside of the aquaponic system. Where typically the fish solid waste is disposed of, Gross managed to treat it by anaerobic digestion and recover energy and nutrients into the system to form a near zero waste unit. This is the path to resolving the ups and downs and headaches of balancing the nutrient load in the system and what the plants need as they grow.

Aeroponics VS DWC

April 15, 2025 Erik Biksa Comments Off

Aeroponics VS DWC: which is better? Both growing methods can produce excellent yields and high-quality crops, but they operate quite differently. Based on years of hands-on experience in greenhouse and indoor garden settings, we’ll compare the two systems to help you decide which one best suits your needs.

Vertical Farming Interest Growing

April 14, 2025 Grozine Contributor Comments Off

Increased consumer interest in local produce could be attributed to looming uncertainty regarding the impacts of tariffs on agriculture and cross-border food trade, though much of our food exports, for now, will be exempt from the 10-per-cent baseline tariff.

Hydroponic Home Gardening

April 7, 2025 Grozine Contributor Comments Off

In a small, climate-controlled room in their Whistler home, Jim Brown and Natalie Rock have transformed a hobby into a year-round food source. What started as a pandemic-era experiment in hydroponic gardening has blossomed into a thriving indoor farm
