Collection: Hydroponic CBD Flowers

What is hydroponic CBD cultivation?

Hydroponics, derived from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (effort), is an innovative method of growing crops that stands out because of its absence of soil. Plants are grown in a controlled environment in which the roots are immersed in a liquid nutrient solution combined with water. This solution provides the plants with the nutrients and minerals they need to grow and develop.
To set up a hydroponic system, several elements are required. Firstly, a neutral substrate is used to support the plants and their roots. Materials such as clay balls, coconut fiber, sand or even water can be used as substrate. Next, a water reservoir containing the nutrient solution is installed, and the plants are immersed in it.

Various hydroponic growing processes exist, such as the Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, the Nutrient Film Culture (NFT) system or the Wick Culture system. Each of these systems has its own characteristics and advantages, but all work on the fundamental principle of providing plants with essential nutrients directly in the root system.

The advantages of growing CBD in hydroponics

Hydroponics offers several advantages. Its convenience allows for cultivation in limited spaces, including urban areas where arable land is scarce. This method also allows for precise control of growing conditions—including pH, nutrient concentration, and the supply of essential elements—which promotes more resilient plants and flowers that are richer in trichomes and terpenes.

Hydroponics also reduces the risk of pest and disease infestations. This method of growing CBD offers great flexibility and can be adapted to different production scales. For CBD flowers, it provides better control over nutrient intake, which promotes optimal plant development and higher yields.

This method of cultivation is also more water-efficient, using up to 90% less water than traditional soil-based cultivation. This feature makes it possible to grow crops in regions where water is a limited resource. On the other hand, hydroponics requires a significant electrical setup and more substantial energy resources.

CBD flowers grown hydroponically grow faster and are more resistant to disease, which reduces the need for pesticides and promotes organic cultivation.

Hydroponic, indoor, or greenhouse-grown CBD flowers: What are the differences?

Hydroponics is not the only method used to grow CBD flowers. Indoor flowers are grown indoors, in pots and in soil, under artificial lighting. Greenhouse flowers are grown in greenhouses, where natural light is supplemented by supplemental lighting.

Hydroponic cultivation, on the other hand, does not rely on soil: the roots are fed directly by a liquid nutrient solution in an environment where light, humidity, and pH are precisely controlled. This increased control promotes dense, trichome-rich flowers with a more consistent aromatic profile from one harvest to the next.

Hydroponically grown plants are also less exposed to soil-related risks, which reduces the use of pesticides and other inputs.

Why choose Mama Kana's hydroponically grown CBD flowers?

The hydroponically grown CBD flowers available in our CBD Shop are cultivated under close supervision and strict control at every stage, with limited use of pesticides and other inputs.

The harvest yield is also greater, which results in a higher return. Flowers grown hydroponically require less water and less maintenance during their growth cycle, which can lead to a more affordable price.

Nourished directly at the root system, the flowers grow in a stable environment, which promotes larger, denser flowers with higher concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes. Like all Mama Kana products, our hydroponic CBD flowers have a THC content of less than 0.3% and are tested by an independent laboratory.
