Side by Side Indoor Testing
Innovation is a pillar of business at General Hydroponics. We are always striving to create the most advanced nutrient systems on the planet. Every new product, every new ingredient, and every new techinque requires lengthy testing. To get it done, we recreate typical indoor scenes. Terry, an ace around the entire office, let me shoot some photos of his latest project.
Stats: 2×2 Ebb and flow trays - 400 watt bulbs over each tray – Veg 18 hours daylight – Two different kinds of mixed spring greens from seed at 3 weeks after planting.
The environments are identical. Even the nutrients are almost identical, only one ingredient is different. The trays on the right with the white stake were fed the control, while the trays on the left with the red stake received the variation.
Obivously the control killed it! Further proof that over 30 years of research makes Gen Hydro the best in the industry.

The lettuce in the trays with the white tags have more growth. They’ve got taller leaves, and denser growth. I think one reason they might look identical is because these photos kinda skew the height because of the angle. All the plants on the right are bigger, but check out the red leaf lettuces in the bottom photo: the ones that got the control are much taller and fuller than the others.

Hi! I got here from a blog post about the Aerogarden…very interesting stuff! I want to dabble in hydroponics, so I appreciate the information.
