Hydroponics for growing cannabis is the method of choice for many pot famers. As the name suggests, hydroponics is a plant growing method that uses water instead of soil to deliver the necessary nutrients to the plant. Although it can be done indoors or outdoors, for most home growers, indoors is the preferred method for a variety of reason.
The main benefits of indoor hydroponics growing is the ability to better control and calibrate the cannabis grow environment and process. This control usually results in bigger yields that are faster and repeatable.
And when used in conjunction with a quality cannabis grow tent, the whole set-up can take up a corner of a room or even a closet.
