About Doug

Welcome to my website Hydro Green thumb. I hope you stay a bit, take a look around, and educate yourself to the interesting world of Hydroponics It’s the concept of growing plants and produce without soil. I wasn’t always the perfect grower, and made a few mistakes along the way. With this information, in sure you all will become hydroponic gurus in no time.

How I Got Involved In Hydroponics

I have always been interested in Hydroponics. It’s more the technical side, than the growth side of the industry. I’m not a professional grower. More of an enthusiast. I used to rummage through junk piles( bad habit), and still do seeking pots, lights, wiring, fans. Wow, the amount of fans people throw out, and are still working perfectly is amazing.

From there, I experimented with components, connecting up the tubing, pots, placed the pedestal fans in the room, an exhaust fan up top, controlled by a thermostat for temperature The thermostat I had to buy, hard to find in the junk. You’d be amazed how a shed can be utilized into a greenhouse. .

The first time I tried this hobby, I couldn’t get anything to grow. There were diseases and bugs, the lighting was wrong. Everything you could imagine. Eventually, I bought books, went to the library, and improved my results. It wasn’t something I mastered overnight. It took some patience, and perseverance, but in the end I learned a lot from this hobby.

Why Did I Make This Website

I want to help people, especially beginners, and people who don’t want to spend big bucks build systems from start to finish I want to educate everyone about how fresh your fruit and vegetables can be, compared to buying from the supermarket. They are always either too dry, bruised, manhandled to death, or just low quality, The aim is to break down the complication, and give you a simple understanding of the principles involved in hydroponics.

If you have any questions or queries, please leave them below. All The Best and Thankyou.
