Important Pro's and Cons About Hydroponics That You Probably Don't Know!

Here are some important pros and cons about hydroponic systems that you probably don't know. The reason I am making this post is because many people are shocked to hear all the great points of hydroponic growing.

Here are some positive notes on hydroponic system growth:

1. Your plants will be 100% organic

2. Your plants, herbs, flowers, or anything you grow will grow up to 10 times the speed of traditional growing. Of course, this all depends on the plant type and if you install a Co2 system. The Co2 system itself increases production by up to 50% depending on plant type and the aeroponic fogger increases production by up to 20% depending on the plant type.

3. Your hydroponic system WILL pay for itself

4. You will never have to worry about eating junk foods produced by hormones. You will in fact be a healthier person which should save you a lot of grief in medical bills down the line.

5. You can make money selling organic foods to restaurants and local markets alike. You can also promote the foods in your own retail restaurant or market.

6. Very little effort is put into growing plants in a hydroponic system. Most of the time, all you have to do is set up the system and let it ride, checking back on it about once a week. For TOTAL automation, the hydroponic industry has come out with a Total Automation Package. You can view a sample 3 in 1 SMART Grow Box w/ Total Automation here.

Here are some negative points of growing with hydroponics.

1. Your initial cost is usually over a $1000 to get started.

2. Difficult to mass produce in the millions of pounds unless one has a few million to get started with.

3. Hydroponic Systems usually take up a reasonable amount of space. Although this is not a bother to most, some people have problems with space consuming grow boxes. Ex. Apartments in New York are usually a bit small to hold a large hydroponic system like the Super Jumbo Stealth which measures a towering 8 feet tall and spreads at 8 feet wide.

One final point that you may not know.

Hydroponic Manufacturers like Dealzer.com are fully aware of power consumption problems. Most manufactures are now using low power lights such as TEK lights. This brings power costs so low, you can compare it to a small bedroom TV.
