Hydroponics Basic Course: Innovative Cultivation Strategies for the Future

Module 1: Mastering the Fundamentals of Hydroponics (Introduction)

This introductory course is the perfect starting point! It provides you with a solid foundation in the basic principles of hydroponics.

What you can expect:

• Hydroponics 101: From Theory to Practice: What is hydroponics, why is it relevant, and what advantages does it offer over traditional cultivation?
• Systems Compared: Detailed look at NFT, DWC, Aeroponics, Ebb and Flow, and Drip Irrigation – which system is right for your needs?
• The Magic Nutrient Solution: Basics of nutrient chemistry, macro- and micronutrients, pH & EC management for optimal plant growth.
• Light, Climate & More: Optimal lighting (LED technologies), temperature, humidity, and CO2 enrichment for maximum yields.
• Substrates Under the Microscope: Rockwool, coco coir, clay pebbles – pros and cons, and application.
• Seeds & Cuttings: Successful propagation and transfer into hydroponic systems.

Hands-on Practice: Experience the NFT Method!

We will collectively plan, build, and configure a functional NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system. This way, you won't just understand the technology theoretically, but see it live in action and learn to master it yourself.

Your Goals, Our Results (Module 1):

After this course, you will have sufficient information to:

• Understand the revolutionary principles of hydroponics comprehensively.
• Design and build a basic hydroponic system independently.
• Estimate energy costs accurately in advance.
• Take an important step towards more sustainability and self-sufficiency.

Module 2: Advanced Techniques & Optimization (For Experienced Learners)

Build on your foundations and delve deeper into specialized hydroponic methods to maximize your yields and explore innovative cultivation solutions.

What you can expect:

• Aeroponics: The Turbo in Plant Cultivation: Detailed setup, operation, and optimization of aeroponic systems for rapid growth and high yields.
• Vertical Farming & Urban Gardening with Hydroponics: Concepts for space-saving cultivation in urban environments, multi-level systems, and their challenges.
• Plant Health & Pest Management: Prevention, biological control, and effective solutions for common problems in hydroponic systems.
• Automation & Smart Hydroponics: Use of sensors, microcontrollers, and apps for monitoring and controlling your system (e.g., pH/EC controllers, pump control).
• Specialty Crops & Niche Products: Cultivation of herbs, lettuces, berries, and exotic plants – individual nutrient solutions and system adaptations.
• Profitability & Scaling: Cost-benefit analysis, potential for commercial cultivation, and tips for scaling hydroponic projects.
