  • User Manual Megagarden (Hydroponic System)
    USER MANUAL MEGAGARDEN (HYDROPONIC SYSTEM) MGSYS & MGSYSNM OVERVIEW Congratulations on the purchase of an Active Aqua MegaGarden system. The MegaGarden is a high performance hydroponic growing system designed with simplicity in mind. Anyone from the novice to the professional green thumb can use the MegaGarden with ease and get fantastic results. This exclusive Hydrofarm design is compact yet very productive, utilizing automated flood & drain (ebb & flow) technology, and uses less water to grow more produce. Crops grown in the MegaGarden experience dramatic growth rates as the roots are directly fed with oxygenated nutrient solution, versus conventional soil gardening which requires the roots to search for food sources in the dirt. With the assistance of a Hydrofarm grow light system such as a high intensity grow light, or a T5 fluorescent, the MegaGarden can provide year-round production for all your gardening desires! HYDROPONICS: SIMPLE, QUICK, AND EASY Hydroponics is simply a more efficient way to provide nutrition and water to your plants. In a soil garden, nutrients and water are randomly scattered about throughout the medium, and plants have to expend a lot of energy growing roots to find them. In a hydroponic garden, the nutrients and water are delivered directly to your plants’ roots by pumping solution on timed cycles. Plants grow quicker and may be harvested sooner because they are absorbing nutrition at a faster rate. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview 2 Hydroponics: Simple, Quick, and Easy 2 Assembly 5 View tube Installation 5
