Refreshed SNAP Video Tutorial Playlist

Healthy lettuce leaves.

We recently refreshed one of our very first playlist of video tutorials about getting started with SNAP Hydroponics. According to our user insights, many users are looking for SNAP tutorials online. More than the usual every week. There is still no indication that sustained interest in urban gardening, container gardening and hydroponics is gonna die down anytime soon. With the pandemic still raging more and more people are getting interested in growing their own food.

Shopee featured videos

These set of videos, in Filipino, are featured prominently in Happy Grower’s Shopee.

Happy Grower’s Shopee is closed.

Unfortunately, it has become too cost prohibitive for us to operate our shop on Shopee. Not to worry because we are still selling our products online through our very own online shop.

Launching SNAP Hydroponics Knowledge Base

We know how important learning is to your success using SNAP Hydroponics. When you’re growing plants with it, we hope you’ll feel confident and supported with the knowledge you need to keep growing in your journey. That’s why we’re launching a single home for anything and everything related to hydroponics, aquaponics and urban gardening—snaphydroponics.info/kb.

What we’re launching

Until now, our information website’s content has had no clear organization. As our catalog grow, we decided to create a single place where everyone can find the information they need, whether you’re a new grower who just sown their first seed or a seasoned grower in the hydro growing community. Starting today, you can find everything you need to learn about hydroponics, aquaponics and urban gardening at snaphydroponics.info/kb.

Constantly Updated

The knowledge base will continue to grow. Be sure to follow our blog to get notified when new articles are added and old ones get updated.

SNAP Hydroponics Seminar PDF Slides

We are currently working on a new set of presentation slides for our up coming training seminars and webinars on a variety of topics: hydroponics, aquaponics, urban gardening and digital marketing—because new normal requires growers to be digital.

Our first training seminar is for nutrition month 2018 in Muntinlupa Science High School.

It’s been a couple of years since our very first seminar. Marco hastily created these slides for his very first training seminar. He’s glad it went well.

The presentation we used has remained unchanged though we’ve been always been planning to update and improve it before making it available for download. To move things forward, we’ve gone over the slides and corrected some typos. Exported as a PDF file, it is now available for download in the downloads page. The original Apple Keynote Presentation is available for download there as well.
