		<description><![CDATA[The reasons that make people turn to hydroponics are varied, but for most of us, it is the desire to have higher yielding crops. However, most people overlook some very fundamental factors that affect both the growth of plants and the quality that is produced. Some of these factors include the temperature of the grow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hydroponics derives from two Latin words: ‘hydro’ meaning water and ‘ponic’, which means labor. Hydroponics is a style of gardening where the medium for planting is water not soil. This form of planting has been used for centuries after scientists discovered that soil only acts as a reservoir for nutrients and that plants do not [...]]]></description>

Say you test your water and learn that the ppm is 300 and the hardness (calcium and magnesium) is 11 grains or 188 ppm (1 grain of hardness is equal to 17.1 ppm hardness).
