Vertical Hydroponic Garden

Hydroponics and training your plants
Training your plants to grow in a hydroponics grow box
Growing plants inside of a hydroponics of grow box is a bit different than growing plants in nature. In nature you have the sun which is providing plenty of light for your plants. In nature your plants have an unlimited amount of space to grow. Unless you are growing in a greenhouse there is no ceiling so you can grow as tall as you want. You can grow your plants as high as you wish with really no envelope. There is nothing stopping your plants from growing even eight or 9 feet tall. Even small plants can grow as tall as trees in nature.
But when you are growing in an enclosed space such as when you're using a hydroponics grow box for instance. You also have to keep in mind that you're going to need a couple inches of clearance between the tops of your plants and the bottom of your lights. Because the lights of a hydroponics grow box will create quite a bit heat which can burn the top of your plants if your life gets too close or if you have poor air circulation. This concept is the very reason that we are going to introduce you to the concept of training your plants.
Training your plants absolutely necessary if you're going to be growing in a grow box or any other enclosed space. Because you have limited amount of vertical height you have to maximize the amount of grow space in your hydroponics grow box to its maximum. Naturally plants are going to want to gravitate towards the light. This is natural for them. Meaning all plant naturally grow towards the middle and directly towards the light source. In order to get the most out of your grow box you will train your plants to use every nook and cranny of space you have available to grow in. Now some of these techniques may seem far out to the new hydroponics grower, but these techniques are commonly used in any type of hydroponic garden, you should learn these well.
It is okay to bend your plants gently until the plant stays where you need it to. For instance there will be of great amount of space around the corners of your grow box. No plants are going to naturally grow into the corners, so in every grow you always have plenty of extra room to grow your plants that is often overlooked. So what we to maximize the space in your grow box is to make your plants grow into the corners. Grab the stalk of your plant you wish to train plant with your thumb and forefinger and apply pressure, gently until you feel the stem snap into place now into place. There may be an association of cracking but the plants will heal very quickly; often in days.
In a few days your plant will heal itself, much the same way you do when you break a bone. The fracture will heal much stronger than it was before the break of the branch and now will stay exactly where you want it. So you can train your plants by snapping them and get your plants to grow at 90° angles all around your hydroponics grow box. So by using this training technique you are able to take advantage of every bit of space you have your hydroponics grow box. . You can train your plants to grow into corners by simply snapping the stalks into the position you want it to stay positioned in. Now you can use all the space in your grow box to the maximum and train your plants to grow extremely short and dense.
Using these training technique you will be able to get the best possible yields of a small contained space. The small bushy plants will be able to deliver more yields than their traditional skinny, tall plants because they can support more weight, and they've been trained to grow short and dense; really bush out. This is the best way to get the most out of your space. I highly recommend that you learn to train your plants and practice training regularly in order to get the most out of your yields. This technique is necessary.
If you would like to learn more about training your plants as well as hydroponics in general I would highly recommend checking out the free DVD tutorial videos found on the website in this link. There you will find over 100 videos of DVD quality completely free of charge which teaches you everything you need to know about hydroponics. Topics included are picking lights, adjusting pH levels, and even using CO2 to increase your plants growth rate using a hydroponics grow box. Many other things as well as training are discussed on this website and is helpful to a novice hydroponic gardener.
