About Green Hydro Farms
Research-led hydroponics, born from a home experiment.
A founder-led hydroponics education, research and product-design brand based in Chandigarh — built on years of real trials, not theory.

The story
How curiosity became a growing method.
Green Hydro Farms was founded in Chandigarh in 2019 by electronics engineer Ajay Hooda. It began with a simple, personal question: how could fresh food be grown at home in a more controlled and efficient way?
Driven by his engineering mindset, Ajay started researching hydroponics before the COVID-19 pandemic. He built small systems at home and ran repeated experiments to understand plant nutrition, water quality, environmental conditions and system design.
There was no shortcut. It meant successful harvests and failed trials, plant problems and redesigns — continuously improving each method through observation and experimentation. Over time he developed and tested NFT and Dutch bucket systems, and grew leafy vegetables, tomatoes and strawberries.
As more people became interested in learning, Ajay began teaching beginners. Today, Green Hydro Farms focuses on one-to-one live online training, research and hydroponic product design — teaching only what has been researched, tested and grown.

Research
Years of experiments
Trials with different crops, nutrients and conditions. NFT and Dutch bucket systems designed and tested.
Products
Selling systems
Hydroponic products supplied through the website and marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart.
Today
Education first
Focused on one-to-one live training, research and product design for growers across India.
Mission
To make hydroponics understandable and practical for beginners through scientific education, real experimentation and personalised guidance.
Vision
To build a trusted hydroponics research, education and innovation brand with dedicated growing facilities, practical training and thoughtfully designed products.
Our promise
We don't teach hydroponics through theory alone. We share knowledge developed through research, repeated trials and real growing experience.
What we value
Six principles behind every class.
Research
We study each growing method carefully before recommending it.
Experimentation
Practical trials are essential for understanding plants, nutrients and systems.
Scientific thinking
Guidance based on measurable factors — pH, EC, TDS, temperature, humidity and light.
Simplicity
We make technical hydroponic concepts easier for beginners to understand.
Personal guidance
Our one-to-one approach lets every learner ask questions and grow at their pace.
Continuous learning
We keep learning through every crop and experiment — and pass it on.
Three ways we work.
Training
One-to-one live online classes for beginners, students and home growers across India.
Research
Ongoing experiments with crops, nutrients, systems and environmental control.
Product design
Designing and testing hydroponic growing systems, from NFT to Dutch buckets.
Looking ahead
Growing facilities of our own.
Our long-term goal is to develop innovative hydroponic products and establish dedicated indoor and outdoor growing facilities — spaces to keep experimenting, refining better systems and sharing practical knowledge with growers across India.
