Question 1

Does rain affect outdoor hydroponics?

Accepted Answer

In outdoor hydroponics, rain can significantly impact the water level, pH, EC and nutrient levels. In addition, rain can also affect the temperature of the water in the reservoir, as well as the internal temperature of plants and the temperature of their roots.

Question 2

Do hydroponic plants need direct sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. Positioning your hydroponics outside in direct sunlight leads to the greatest plant development. This is especially true of south-facing locations (where plants will be exposed to extended periods of sunshine).

Question 3

How cold is too cold for hydroponics?

Accepted Answer

You can grow any plant outdoors during winter if you can keep the water temperature between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
