Acidic A solution or soil is acidic when the pH is less than 7.0. <\/p>\n
Aeroponics A growing system in which plant roots are fed with a misted solution. An aeroponic system is similar to a misting system that is used in a supermarket to spray vegetables.<\/p>\n
Alkaline A solution or soil is alkaline when the pH is greater than 7.0. <\/p>\n
Breeding Making seeds from male pollen and female pistils. <\/p>\n
Budding The process of producing flowers.<\/p>\n
Clone A new plant that has the same genetic make up as the mother plant.
\nCloning Making an identical genetic copy of the mother plant.<\/p>\n
Composting Recycling household waste in order to make fertilizer.<\/p>\n
Cutting see clone<\/p>\n
Feeding Giving plants their desired plant food.
\nFlowering The process of producing flowers.<\/p>\n
Flooding and Draining Feeding plant roots with a solution that floods a table, then drains back into a reservoir.<\/p>\n
Flushing Removing salts from a growing medium. Flushing is also a process of removing elements from the leaves and flowers too.<\/p>\n
Germinating Bringing a seed to life.<\/p>\n
Hermaphrodites Plants that have both male and female reproductive parts. <\/p>\n
Humidity It is a measurement of the percentage of moisture that is in the air.
\nHydroponics Feeding plants with a nutrient solution in a medium that does not contain soil.<\/p>\n
Medium The material a plant is grown in, such as soilless mix, perlite, rockwool, and coconut fibers. <\/p>\n
Organic Naturally occuring fertilizers.<\/p>\n
Parts per million (PPM) This is the amount of 1 part of something in a million parts of another. In terms of fertilizer, 1,500PPM means there are 1,500 parts of fertilizer in 1,000,000 parts of water. <\/p>\n
pH The acidity of a solution. 7.0 is neutral, <7.0 is acidic and >7.0 is alkaline. <\/p>\n
Pistil The female reproductive organ.
\nPollen The fertilizing element of a flowering plant. <\/p>\n
Predator Another living organism that targets the plant in order to feed and often weakens or kills it in the process.<\/p>\n
Pruning Removing top and side shoots in order to produce a bushier plant.
\nRejuvenating Bringing a harvested plant back into vegetative growth.<\/p>\n
Reservoir The tank that holds nutrient solution in a hydroponic\/aeroponic system.<\/p>\n
Rooting The process of a clone forming new roots.
\nSeedlings Young plants that were started from seed. The seedling phase lasts somewhere near 5 weeks before the plants grow at a fast rate.<\/p>\n
Sexing Forcing a seedling to show it reproductive organs.<\/p>\n
Shoots The new plant growth that extends from branches.<\/p>\n
Soilless mix A growing medium that is mainly composed of peat moss, perlite, and lime. <\/p>\n
Strain A variety of flowering plants, such as Timewarp and Blueberry. <\/p>\n
Sweating Drawing moisture from the stalks of dried flowers.<\/p>\n
Top-feeding Applying a nutrient solution from the top of the growing medium.<\/p>\n
Training Positioning limbs with string, plant yo-yos, etc., in order to allow the plant to receive more light. <\/p>\n
Transplanting Moving plants into a new medium.<\/p>\n
Vegetative growth The growth phase before plants produce buds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
