Plants like Marijuana can be grown through a technique called Hydroponics. This process stands for the technique of cultivation of plants in a solution rich with nutrients and not in the soil. This is a very unique technique and can also be referred to as tank farming, aquiculture or indoor gardening.

After a lot of research, it has been found that the roots can absorb nutrients not only from soil but also from water. The novel technique of hydroponics brings out the fact that plants can be grown without any soil. Professor Gericke is the father of hydroponics. He conducts his researches in the University of California. In 1929, his invention gained firm ground when tomato plants were grown in water and they grew to a remarkable size.

In the case of Marijuana growing, health risks for humans can take place due to the mould which is associated with the Hydroponics Marijuana cultivation and also the other chemicals associated with the growth of Marijuana at grow-op. There is a high concentration of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide associated with this. Many of these factors are concerns of safety as the grow ops for such plants like Marijuana are located in the areas of high density population.

Marijuana that is grown at home reduce the value of its properties in the market and they also most of these grow ops are run perhaps as a bed of organized crime and such activities, thus attracting a lot of thugs who come into the neighbourhood at odd hours. In British Columbia, the cultivation of marijuana is controlled by eighty five per cent.

British Columbia has another record which is that it is the home of the ‘B.C. Bud’ that is one of the most popular varieties of Marijuana. The grow ops in British Columbia that were busted by the police had almost doubled between the years 1999 and 2004 and the numbers increased to 2908 from 1251.
