3. 1. Micropropagation
Micropropagation (also called plant tissue culture)
is a method of propagating a large number of
plants from a single plant in a short time under
laboratory conditions.

5. 2. Potting mix
Potting mix or Coco mix growth is significant
because it is a proven method and it works for
many growers. If you have an open attic or
basement, this may be a great for you as you can
build shelves and pots for your leafy greens,
micro greens and tuber or root-based crops like
turnips and radishes.

7. 3. Enter Hydroponics
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants with
water without the use of potting mix or soil. There
are many ways to do this, but the big take away here
is that soil or potting mix isn’t needed for the plants
to grow throughout their life cycle. Dissolvable
nutrients are added to the water to give the plants
everything they need to flourish.

9. 4. Aeroponic
A growing high-tech technique with automation controls.
The roots hang in the air within their environment and
are misted with a nutrient solution on a timer. The
misting pumps are turned on in minute intervals. The
roots are exposed in an enclosed environment and will
likely dry out if the water cycles are interrupted.

11. 5. NFT
Nutrient Film Technique is a specific way of growing
through a nutrient-rich water solution like other
hydroponic methods. NFT uses that shallow stream
of nutrient water for plant growth and is
re-circulated past the bare roots of plants in
watertight gutters, also known as channels.
