Who this hydroponics log is for

This log is for hydroponic growers using systems such as deep water culture, NFT, Kratky jars or countertop units. It suits beginners growing herbs indoors and hobbyists with larger setups. Hydroponics depends on water quality, nutrients and light, so careful records of pH, EC and growth are key. It also suits apartment dwellers without a garden who want fresh greens year round, and teachers running classroom growing projects. Small changes in nutrients or light can make a big difference, and written notes show what works best for each crop.

How to use your hydroponics log

Record your system setup. Log water readings and nutrients. Track growth and harvests. Note maintenance and problems. Test water at the same time each day or week and record pH, EC and temperature. Note nutrient changes and top-ups, measure plant growth weekly and clean pumps and reservoirs on schedule. Record problems like algae or root rot with the fix you tried, so you can prevent them next time.
