Nutrient utilization

The water used to prepare the nutrient should have a conductivity of 50 ppm/0.1 mmho or less. After adding the three-part nutrient concentrates to the nutrient container at the rate of 10 mL each per Gallon, the final pH (adjusted as necessary with pH up or down) should be between 5.8 and 6.2 with conductivity of about 737ppm/1.1 mmho or less.

Our recommended maximum feed conductivity value should not exceed 870ppm/1.3 mmho.  If the drain fluid exiting the growing container’s total dissolved salt level exceeds 1072 ppm/1.6 mmho, or pH drops below 5.8, the plants will stop growing.

At the beginning of the light cycle, drench the soil with a single portion of feed (as a nutrient piston effect) sufficient to pull vital air downward through the media. This action thoroughly leaches the rooting media of excess salts accumulation thereby preventing root rot.

A vigorously growing plant in a 5 Gallon bucket requires 1.5 gallons or more of full strength feed per day. When plants are fed less often, soil salt level will rise, then we recommend one half strength( 5mL per Gallon of each nutrient concentrate). 

For glorious house plant maintenance, use one third strength, (3 mL) each per Gallon feed.

Thoroughly flush and drain as needed for general care.

When diluted at the rate of 10 mL each per Gallon, the three part feed provides the following:

  • 100 ppm N
  • 122 ppm P2O5
  • 250 ppm K2O
  • 24 ppm Mg
  • 32 ppm S
  • 56 ppm Ca
  • 0.3 ppm B
  • 0.07 ppm Cu
  • 2.0 ppm Fe
  • 1.0 ppm Mn
  • 0.05 ppm Mo
  • 0.6 ppm Zn

in a matrix of poly Carboxylic acids.

Warnings:

  • Use only as directed.
  • Do not ingest.
  • These products may stain.
  • Using more than the recommended 10 mL each of te nutrient concentrates per gallon and/or the use of poor qualitywater may raise the ppm levels to be harmful to plants.
  • Adding other chemicals to the plant food except to adjust pH is not recommended.
  • The seller or manufacturer has no control of the environment, application interval or general misuse of this product either to any plant material or entity.
