I love organic produce and I big fan of those people who are into organic farming :-) that's why I asked my brother joey to check the ingredients of those solutions cos I have a phobia with the usage of chemicals that might be dangerous to our health(my big worry goes to the one who will set up the hydroponic system himself) and the environment. Pardon me cos I haven't read all the comments here...(I might look "makulit" here..but I would like to know if this Hydroponics system will be certified in the future as Organic or has already been certified and if not being certified or could not be called organic, what are the reasons that this system will not meet organic standards. Many thanks for whatever info. I could get from you. regards Ysabel thanks joey(mag eenglish na po ako, akala ko kababayan or pinoy forum ito eh ;-)), sorry guys if I’m a bit skeptical about this Snap hydroponics system the first time my brother joey told me about this.

We do not use aerators nor oxygenators. The understanding of the plant's physiology and morphology is the basis for the system. Regarding your question if the nutrients are food-grade, we do not eat the nutrients in that form; therefore they are not food grade. The nutrient solution does not have heavy metals, nor bacteria. We have been using SNAP hydroponics for almost ten years and we do not have mosquito infestation. For Lu-Tsih,

May I know what type of hydroponics system is SNAP fostering? Is it the NFT, ebb & flow, raft, or continuous flow with HID lights? Do you use aerators and oxygenators? Also, are the materials to be used in your system food grade, without harmful toxins and carcinogens, and will not rot, disintegrate, and get fed into the plants and passed on to people? If you also use the raft system, how do you prevent bacteria growth and mosquito larvae from the reservoirs? Thanking you in advance for your thoughts. More power to you in your efforts to educate the public. Hello!
