LazyGrow - The Time Saving Reservoir Maintenance System
LazyGrow can easily be adapted to any hydroponic system that has a reservoir. The once burdensome task of maintaining your nutrients, and pH will be automated. LazyGrow will save you time and ensure your plants have the optimal growing environment.
Nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic systems are a type of hydroponic system in which a thin film of nutrient-rich water flows over the plant roots, which are suspended in a channel or gutter. The water is pumped from a reservoir and then returned to the reservoir after passing over the roots, creating a continuous flow of nutrients and water. NFT systems are highly water-efficient and can be used to grow a variety of plants, including lettuce, herbs, and strawberries. This type of system offers versatility in commercial and large-scale hydroponics due the relatively inexpensive cost for setup.
Aeroponic systems in which plant roots are suspended 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. Aeroponic systems are often used in vertical farming and urban agriculture settings due to their space-saving design and high efficiency.
Recirculating deep water culture (RDWC) hydroponic systems are a type of hydroponic system in which plants are suspended in a nutrient-rich water solution with their roots submerged in the water. The water is circulated through a network of interconnected buckets or reservoirs, which helps to maintain consistent nutrient levels and oxygenation throughout the system. RDWC systems are ideal for growing larger plants like tomatoes or peppers and can produce high yields in a relatively small space.
A "run to waste" hydroponic system, also known as a "drain-to-waste" system, where plants are grown in a substrate, such as rockwool, coco coir or perlite, and fed a nutrient solution. The nutrient solution is delivered to the plant roots through irrigation, and excess runoff is allowed to drain 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.
Ebb & Flow systems, also known as flood and drain systems, are a popular type of hydroponic system in which plants are grown in trays filled with a growing medium such as perlite or coconut coir. The trays are periodically flooded with a nutrient-rich water solution and then drained, allowing the roots to absorb the nutrients and oxygen they need to grow. Ebb & Flow systems are versatile and can be used to grow a variety of plants, including leafy greens, herbs, and flowering crops.
Deep water culture (DWC) hydroponic systems are a type of hydroponic system in which plants are suspended in a nutrient-rich water solution with their roots submerged in the water. The water is aerated with an air pump and air stones to provide oxygen to the roots, which promotes fast and healthy plant growth. DWC systems are relatively simple to set up and can be used to grow a variety of plants, including leafy greens, herbs, and small fruiting plants like strawberries and peppers.
Drip irrigation systems are a highly efficient method of watering plants that can save water and reduce water waste. These systems are often used in agricultural and horticultural settings, as well as in home gardens and landscaping. By delivering water directly to the plant's root zone, drip irrigation can help to minimize weed growth, soil erosion, and nutrient loss. Drip irrigation systems can also be customized to meet the specific needs of different types of plants and soil conditions, making them a versatile option for growers.
