COMING UP NEXT ISSUE I’M A FAN! CONTEST Cloning Your Buds Making duplicates of your prized plants, a process known as cloning, is much quicker than growing from seed and removes the guesswork from the end results. It is also easy and lucrative if you’re smart about it. The process is relatively painless—just snip, dip and let them sit. Follow next month’s tips and you’ll be well on your way to uniform, pest-free plants. Green Lights for Your Greens It was once believed that because plant foliage is predominantly green, plants simply reflected greenspectrum light, rendering its role in plant development negligible at best. While it is true that green light is reflected, for the most part, by foliage, researchers are now believing it can engage or trigger specific and necessary responses in plant growth. Aquatic Crops for Hydroponics CUR REN T WIN NER ! Mark tucker lindon, Utah Maximum Yield gave me the know-how to start my own hydroponics garden. Your magazine was integral to the success of our first garden and has given my family knowledge I hope my children will remember for a lifetime. Every time I go to the local hydroponics store, I pick up a new issue and the kids and I read the whole thing together. My favorite store: PoWerGroW SYSteMS & UtaH HYdroPoNiCS Lindon, Utah Aquatic crops are among the most ideally suited types of plants for hydroponic systems. Adapted to warm, wet, flooded environments that already contain plenty of water and nutrients, aquatic crops thrive when their roots are continually submerged. Try growing some exotic species such as the Chinese water chestnut, lotus root or water spinach. Super easy!
