Niche-Specific Safety
Hydroponic systems involve water, electricity, and nutrient solutions in close proximity. Always use GFCI-protected outlets, keep electrical connections dry and elevated, and follow manufacturer instructions for pumps, lights, and controllers. Nutrient solutions should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Some plants grown hydroponically may accumulate higher levels of certain minerals — research crop-specific safety guidelines before consumption.
