In conventional cultivation plants are grown outdoors. Though plats get all the growth inputs outdoors, they are also exposed to pests, parasites and the vagaries of the elements. That is the way Mother Nature intended it to be. But man had different ideas. He learned to grow plants under simulated conditions in indoor grow rooms. He learned that under simulated conditions in indoor grow rooms plants can grow faster and healthier provided they receive what are known as Growth Influencing Factors (GIFs), in the right amounts. The GIFs include sunshine, wind, rain, temperature variations, carbon dioxide, oxygen, pH, nutrition. Growing plants with hydroponics is basically about controlling the environment in the grow room for the GIFs to stimulate plant growth.
