Essential Hydroponic Supplies You'll Need:
Grow Systems: When it comes to hydroponics, choosing the right grow system is crucial. The Hippie House offers a variety of options to suit different preferences and plant types. Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) systems provide a constant flow of nutrient rich solution, while Deep Water Culture (DWC) systems submerge the roots directly in nutrient solution and have an air pump that provides the roots with oxygen. Ebb and Flow (Flood and Drain) systems periodically flood and drain the grow tray and Drip systems deliver nutrients through a network of tubes and emitters. These are the most common systems but some people do also grow indoors with soil using a wick system.
Growing Mediums:
Hydroponic growing mediums provide support and moisture to the plants' roots. The Hippie House offers a range of options including Rockwool cubes which are sterile and provide excellent aeration; Perlite, a lightweight medium that promotes root growth; Coconut coir, an eco-friendly alternative that retains moisture well; and Clay pellets which provide stability and allow for good drainage.
Nutrients and Additives: Nutrient solutions are the lifeblood of hydroponic gardens, ensuring plants receive all the essential elements they need to thrive. The Hippie House stocks a wide selection of balanced nutrient solutions enriched with the necessary macro and micronutrients. Additionally, pH adjusters and testers are essential for maintaining the optimal pH range for nutrient uptake. To enhance root development and overall plant health, The Hippie House offers rooting hormones, beneficial bacteria and enzymes.
Lighting: In indoor gardening providing adequate light is crucial for photosynthesis and healthy plant growth. The Hippie House offers a range of lighting options to suit different budgets and requirements. High intensity discharge (HID) lights such as metal halide (MH) and high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps deliver intense light output. Light emitting diode (LED) lights are energy efficient and offer precise spectral control, while fluorescent lights are ideal for smaller setups, cloning and seed raising.
Ventilation and Climate Control:
Maintaining proper ventilation and climate control within a hydroponic setup is essential for plant health. The Hippie House provides a selection of exhaust fans and air filters to ensure optimal airflow and remove excess heat and humidity. Carbon dioxide (CO2) generators are also available to enhance plant growth during the flowering stage. Temperature and humidity controllers help maintain the ideal growing conditions for your plants.
Stay tuned for the next section where we'll discuss the common challenges that hydroponic gardeners often face and how The Hippie House can assist you in overcoming them. With our comprehensive range of hydroponic supplies you'll have everything you need to create a thriving indoor garden.
Common Challenges in Hydroponic Gardens:

The Hippie House understands the importance of precise nutrient management and offers a range of high quality nutrient solutions tailored to specific plant stages and requirements. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you in choosing the right nutrient solution to ensure optimal plant nutrition.
pH Fluctuations: pH levels play a vital role in nutrient uptake by plants. Fluctuations in pH can hinder nutrient absorption and lead to nutrient deficiencies. The Hippie House provides pH adjusters and testers to help you maintain the ideal pH range for your hydroponic system. Our products ensure accurate pH measurement and allow for precise adjustments, enabling you to create the optimal growing environment for your plants.

The Hippie House offers a range of effective pest control solutions including organic options to help you combat these threats. Our pest control products are specifically formulated for hydroponic systems providing targeted protection without compromising plant health.
Lighting Issues: Improper lighting can result in stunted growth or leggy plants. Insufficient light may lead to weak seedlings, while excessive light can cause light burn or nutrient imbalances. The Hippie House understands the importance of proper lighting and offers a selection of high quality lighting solutions. Whether you need to upgrade your current setup or fine tune your lighting for optimal results, our experts can assist you in choosing the right lighting solution for your hydroponic garden.
Inadequate Ventilation: Poor air circulation can create a stagnant environment prone to mold, fungal diseases and poor plant transpiration. The Hippie House offers ventilation solutions including exhaust fans and air filters to ensure proper airflow within your hydroponic system. By maintaining optimal ventilation you can prevent the buildup of excess heat and humidity, creating a healthier and more productive growing environment.
