Many people still believe hydroponically grown plants are fed "steroid" or other dangerous chemicals to force them to grow so well. In fact, hydroponic growers are simply "allowing" plants to reach their full genetic potential by carefully providing for their needs as nature is sometimes unable to do.
By growing crops in a clean environment , under ideal conditions, hydroponics saves the coats of soil preparation, insecticides, fungicides and losses due to drought and ground flooding.
