Hydroponic Foundations: Understanding Nutrients
Learn the essentials of hydroponic nutrients! Discover the role of macronutrients and micronutrients, how to optimize nutrient mixes.
Hydroponic Setup: Multiple Systems
Kanana Gardens works with all your hydroponic systems—whether it's a small DWC setup, a tower garden, or your own custom creation. Whatever you’re growing, Kanana Gardens has you covered!
We’ve used the app to manage plants in a 12-pod iDOO, Click & Grow, 6-pod Aerogarden, tower gardens, and of course, our own Hydro-Planters—all with great results.

From nutrient tracking to plant care, AI technology makes managing your system a breeze.
Hydroponic Setup: Light Table
We built a custom light table for our hydroponic garden using a 4-foot plastic table, drain piping, and castors from the hardware store—making it easy to move around. The table holds up to 8 plants and takes up about 15 square feet. We used 6 LED grow lights from AliExpress for full coverage, but for a simple herb setup, we’ve found 2 lights, fastened inline over the center, work perfectly.
Seed to Feed: Zesty Rosemary Steak Bites
These flavorful steak bites are one of my personal favourites, perfectly seasoned with fresh rosemary from our hydroponic garden.
Hydroponic Setup: Controlled Environments
For plants that need a little extra TLC—like cannabis—creating a controlled environment is key. There are plenty of grow tents on the market that let you adjust temperature and light intensity, but if you’re a hobbyist like us, you might opt to build your own custom cabinet or setup. Just remember, airflow is essential for keeping temperatures in check. We’ve also found that adjustable lights make a big difference, allowing you to raise or lower them depending on what your plants need.
Feeling techy? If you’re into IoT, you can take it up a notch by hooking up some affordable temperature sensors to an ESP32 controller or Raspberry Pi for automatic airflow and temperature control.
Don't forget, the Kanana Gardens App has your back—track light intensity, room temperature, and even leaf temperature to keep everything dialed in perfectly.
