Just about anything can grow hydroponically, if you know what you’re doing. The goal of this course is to teach you exactly how to start and run a successful hydroponic farm. In order to grow hydroponically, you must learn to monitor and control system factors like EC, pH, source water quality, temperature, filtration, sanitation, sterilization, and plant needs – all of which will be covered in this course!

What generates success in the life of a farm? Learn how the mindset of innovation, the pursuit of potential, and the refusal to fit inside the “box” power the incredible farmers that make up today’s local farming communities.

Sizing a Pump for Hydroponics (or Aquaponics)

In an aquaponic or hydroponic system, you can use your target flow (in gallons per hour) to each media bed, raft tank, or tower and your head height to determine the size of pump to use. See the easy equations in this post to do the math.

Filtration Manifolds for Recirculating Hydroponic Systems

Water quality is key to a healthy hydroponic system. See how we combine an inline pump, skimmer, UV clarifiers and Y-filter to maintain quality and avoid disease.
