Quote: “The nutrient solution is the most important factor in the success or failure of a hydroponic system.”
Analysis/Commentary: Seeing that the nutrients used in a hydroponics system, makes me realize that I am going to have to quite a bit of research to find out what nutrients will be the best for our hydroponics system. Besides our system having to work with out fault, we have to make sure that we have the right nutrients so that we are actually able to grow plants than can be eaten and used to create a sustainable community and society.

Quote: “Hydroponic gardening is based on the concept that plants do not need soil to grow, but can flourish instead in a water solution, as long as that solution contains all the vital nutrients that the plants would otherwise obtain from the ground.”
Analysis/Commentary: This quote reiterates the importance of the nutrients used in a hydroponics system. The article also goes on to explain not only the proper nutrients, but the proper use of the nutrients. It also goes on to explain that different nutrients are used for different stages of the plant. It mainly describes the importance of knowing what you are putting into your system. The store bought nutrients aren’t always the greatest.
