Hydroponics Lab Start Up

Hydroponics Introduction

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in a nutritional water solution that has been around for millennia. We will begin our own experiement with this growing technique in the Horticulture Greenhouse.

Hydroponic Lab: Seeding Set Up

You will keep the same lab groups that you have in the Soil Health Lab. Each group will be assigned a different crop. Your group will seed two (2) trays of your crop. Record the name of your crop and variety, preferred growing conditions, the number of days to germination and number of days to harvest. In three weeks we will meet again to transfer one of the trays to the hydroponic system. Each student will turn in a lab report. More details will be given in class.
