The Time Saving Auto-Doser
LazyGrow fits any hydroponic system with a reservoir. It automates nutrient and pH levels, saving you time and creating the ideal environment for your plants. Its advanced nutrient and pH doser ensures your plants thrive with zero hassle.
Hydroponic Systems
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) Hydroponic System
Nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic systems pump a thin film of nutrient-rich water over plant roots suspended in channels or gutters. The water flows continuously from the reservoir, nourishing the plants and returning to the reservoir. NFT systems use water efficiently and can grow lettuce, herbs, strawberries, and more. This type of system offers versatility in commercial and large-scale hydroponics due the relatively inexpensive cost for setup.
Deep Water Culture (DWC) Hydroponic System
Deep water culture (DWC) hydroponic systems suspend plants with roots submerged in nutrient-rich water. An air pump and air stones aerate the water, supplying oxygen to the roots. This promotes fast, healthy growth. DWC setups are simple and ideal for leafy greens, herbs, strawberries, and peppers.
Aeroponics Hydroponic System
Aeroponic suspends plant roots in a nutrient-rich mist or fog. These systems use a combination of water and air to deliver nutrients and oxygen directly to the roots, which can promote faster growth and higher yields. Its space-saving design makes it popular for vertical farming and urban agriculture.
Ebb & Flow Hydroponic System
Ebb & Flow or flood and drain systems, grow plants in trays filled with a growing medium like perlite or coconut coir. These trays flood periodically with nutrient solution, then drain to let roots absorb nutrients and oxygen. They are versatile and suitable for leafy greens, herbs, and flowering crops.
Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) Hydroponic System
Recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) hydroponic systems suspends plants with roots in nutrient-rich water circulated through interconnected buckets or reservoirs. This circulation keeps nutrient levels and oxygenation consistent. RDWC suits larger plants like tomatoes and peppers, producing high yields in compact spaces.
Drip Hydroponic System
Drip irrigation systems are a highly efficient method of watering plants that can save water and reduce water waste. By delivering water directly to the plant’s root zone, drip irrigation can help to minimise weed growth, soil erosion, and nutrient loss. It adapts well to different plants and soil types. Drip systems are popular in agriculture, horticulture, and home gardens.
Run-to-Waste Hydroponic System
A “run to waste” hydroponic system, (or drain-to-waste) systems grow plants in substrates such as rockwool, coco coir, or perlite. Nutrient solution irrigates the roots, and excess runoff drains away. While this method can be less water-efficient than recirculating systems, it allows for more precise control over nutrient levels and reduces the risk of disease.
