Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm a hydroponic grower who, like yourself, started from the very beginning with no knowledge or guidance.

I've made mistakes (and still do), I've built my own systems, bought pre-made systems online, read hobby books, read academic literature, and even trained with commercial professionals. 

I'm here now to help anyone and everyone who wants to learn about and practice hydroponics but just doesn't know the right way to start. 

The good news is, there is no right way! The only right way is to take action towards your goal, and if you are reading this, you have already done that, so congrats! 

What I can help you with, though, is demystifying hydroponics and giving you all the advice I wish I had had when I started. 

Many people will tell you hydroponics is expensive and complicated, but it's not. Or I should say it doesn't have to be.

The truth is all hobbies can be expensive and complicated the deeper you go, but hydroponics can be as simple as a jam jar, some water, and a seed.


What is Hydroponics? 🤔

Even if you are here on this page, you may not know exactly what hydroponics is.

Short answer:

💡 Growing plants without soil 💡

There you go, nothing more to say, go off and start... 

I'm joking, of course, but this is certainly the easiest way to understand what hydroponics actually is.

Hydro = water 💧

Ponos = work 👷

You probably have loads questions, and they will all be answered I promise. But trust me, the best way to learn about hydroponics is with baby steps. Information overload is a killer, and the end of many curious growers journeys.
