Why Biochar Is a Bad Idea in Hydroponics and Aquaponics
What is biochar?
Biochar is charcoal created from plant matter.
It’s a great option as a sustainable nutrient-stabilizing practice, but can cause problems when used out of context in hydroponics or aquaponics.
Here's why: biochar retains nitrogen.

The Best Hydroponic Nutrients For Your System
How to choose a hydroponic fertilizer
Hydroponics systems require a carefully crafted fertilizer, or nutrient solution, to grow optimally. Choosing the right nutrient solution is key to system health and production.
If you are starting a hydroponic system, or switching nutrient solutions, you'll want to take several factors into consideration.

Recirculating and Flow to Waste Hydroponics
Recirculating and flow to waste hydroponics
There are two major forms of hydroponic production systems:
1. Recirculating hydroponic systems
2. Flow to waste hydroponic systems.
Both recirculating systems and flow to waste have their pros and cons, however, and today we're going to look at each type of system.
