Hydroponic systems can be categorized as active or passive systems. Active systems usually involve a pump to rapidly supply the water mixed nutrient solution to the roots of the plants. Passive systems, on the other hand, are dependent upon a medium such as wick which takes capillary action in absorbing the nutrient solution and passing it along to the plant roots.
