| Aeroponics |
is a plant-cultivation method in which the roots are suspended in the air while a fine mist of nutritional solution is supplied to them. |
| EC (Electrical Conductivity) |
is a metric for total dissolved salts in a solution, and it has an impact on a plant's ability to absorb water. |
| Germination |
is the process of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body arising after being dormant for a long period of time. |
| hydroponics |
the method of growing plants in sand, gravel, or liquid with extra nutrients but no soil. |
| Nursery |
is a location where plants are produced for transplantation, stock for budding and grafting, or for sale. |
| Nursing |
is the process of caring for plants from seed to a few months to a year old. |
| pH (potential of hydrogen) |
is a measure of how acidic/basic water. |
| PPM (Parts Per Million) |
is a unit of measurement for measuring the concentration of contaminants in the air, water, and other fluids at extremely low levels. |
| Seedling |
a young plant, especially one that has been grown from seed rather than a cutting. |
| TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) |
is a unit of measurement for the concentration of ALL minerals in your water, expressed in parts per million (PPM). |
| Vegetation |
is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide. |
| Adapter |
A device that converts attributes of one electrical device or system to those of an otherwise incompatible device |
| Breadboard |
Is a way of constructing electronics without having to use a soldering iron |
| Germination |
is the process of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body arising after being dormant for a long period of time. |
| Buck Step Down |
A DC-to-DC power converter which steps down voltage from its input to its output |

Used to limit the amount of current going to certain components in the circuit |
| Self-Taping Saw |
Securing thinner sheet metals and other substrates that cuts its own thread |
| Steel Bracket |
A metal that projects from or overhangs a wall to carry a weight |
| Temperature Sensor |
A device that detects and measures hotness and coldness and converts it into an electrical signal |
