Question by Lyons Pride ♪: Why is oxygen needed when growing plants through hydroponics?

Plant cells respire aerobically and so need oxygen. Root cells need ATP produced in respiration to actively take up minerals.

Matt the Grower demos a new STG product currently in development. Great for flood and drain systems, aeroponic systems and almost any other hydroponic system out there. Virtually impossible to overwater, doesn’t have a pH issue, inert, sterile… But what should we call it? Let us know at www.suretogrow.com
