The EZGrow method combines aeroponics and hydroponics into one hybrid grow system. It was designed specifically for growing cannabis indoors using LED grow lights. Nutrient solution is maintained in the lower portion of the bucket known as the hydroponics reservoir. The upper chamber is known as aeroponics because it uses emitters that spray nutrients on the top of the root ball located in the basket lid. This constant flow of a slightly acidic nutrient solution that is rich with oxygen is measured as electrical conductivity or EC. This can be seen as literally the spark of life and is crucial in any grow method. It’s not science, it’s necessary. Checking the solution can also be done by measuring the parts per million or PPM. Either way, it’s important to measure and maintain the strength of the nutrient solution. Your plants will love you for it.
