A good water-based nutrient solution forms the basis of all hydroponic systems and a good setup can be ideal for growing very potent cannabis buds. Like other growing mediums, hydroponics requires ample light, air, and space. hydroponics may be a bit tricky to set up but a system will facilitate easier nourishing of cannabis plants over time. Nutrient solutions allow for precise dosing and direct feeding of the plants. The roots of the plant absorb the administered nutrients directly from the water and this should make growing an easier and more efficient process. Plus, once you’ve set up the hydro system reservoir and your system is working well, there’s not much maintenance to worry about. A hydroponic garden may exhibit a growth rate that is between 30% and 50% faster than plants in soil with the combination of balanced nutrients, water, and oxygen in the roots being responsible for this faster rate of growth. Besides the two most obvious benefits of a hydroponic garden with easier nutrient delivery and faster growth rate, there are other advantages for cannabis cultivators to consider: Water conservation in areas where water is scarce Space saving No need for pesticides Year-round growing Greater potency of the buds  Disadvantages to consider are: You do have to monitor nutrient levels and environmental factors, so hydroponic cultivation may not be as hands-off as planting out in the garden under ideal climate conditions, at least, not initially.  The other things to consider are that this method of growing requires an upfront investment for equipment, and will be a challenge for the inexperienced to get right at the start, so there is a steeper learning curve.  Hydroponics, being often favored for an indoor growing setup, will also involve other equipment being needed, such as grow lights, a venting fan, possibly a grow tent and filter equipment to remove odor; but you can also have an outdoor hydroponic garden too. You will have to consider that an extended power outage could be a real problem for your plants if you have no backup energy system as hydroponic systems often need a pump to move the nutrient water through the system.
