General Guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Make sure to clean your hydroponic system thoroughly before adding any nutrients or water.
- pH Level: Maintain a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimal nutrient absorption.
- EC Levels: Keep the Electrical Conductivity (EC) levels within the range specified for your specific crop.
- Water Temperature: Maintain water temperature between 18°C and 22°C for best results.
- System Check: Periodically check for clogs, leaks, or any other system issues.
Feed Chart Usage:
- Week-by-Week: The chart is designed for a total of 11 weeks of plant growth—3 weeks for vegetative growth and 8 weeks for flowering.
- ml/L: All measurements in the chart are given in milliliters per liter (ml/L).
- Dosage: Start with the lower dosage when first introducing new nutrients. Gradually increase according to the chart.
- Not All-Inclusive: The chart is a general guideline. Depending on specific crop needs and your observations, adjustments may be necessary.
- System Flush: Perform a complete system flush before the last week (Week 11) by using the “Flush” nutrient as indicated on the chart.
- Product Compatibility: These products are designed to be compatible but always perform a jar test if mixing with nutrients from other manufacturers.
- Final Week: In the last week (Week 11), use only the “Flush” nutrient to clear out any remaining nutrients in the system, preparing the crop for harvest.
