A sustainable growing method that combines hydroponics (growing plants without soil) with aquaculture (raising fish or other aquatic animals). In this system, cannabis plants and fish coexist in a closed-loop ecosystem: fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, and plants help purify the water for the fish. Beneficial bacteria convert fish waste (ammonia) into nitrates, which cannabis plants can absorb as nutrients, creating a mutually beneficial system.
