Medical Hydroponics Marijuana Nutrients Technology: Past, Present & Future
I’d bet you’re as stoked as I am that the hydroponics industry has given us powerful technology so we can grow the most valuable plants indoors.
Indoor hydroponics gardening is even more impressive when you realize that your plants evolved for millions of years to grow only in soil outdoors. Growers could only grow from spring to autumn. They often lost crops to insects or climate, no matter how hard they worked.
Today, you and I grow potent, large buds…without soil, indoors, every month of the year, no matter what the weather’s like outside. It gets you to wondering about all those people who contributed to the success and pleasure hydroponics gives us. Just how did we get the power to make indoor growing far more productive and predictable than outdoor growing?
HYDROPONICS PAST
KINGS AND PIONEERS
To answer that question, you look back nearly 3,000 years to a place we now call Iraq. Back then it was called Babylon, the cradle of civilization.
Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II was bored with growing things in the ground like humans had always done, so he built the “Hanging Gardens of Babylon,” featuring massive “live architecture” arrangements of rare trees and plants.
The King’s engineers even devised a complicated pumping system to quench the garden’s 80,000 gallon per day thirst.
Centuries later, near what we now call Mexico City, the Aztecs placed handcrafted “floating gardens” in Lake Texcoco. In Europe during the 1400s, famed inventor Leonardo da Vinci studied how plants take in minerals from water.
