HYDROPONICS NUTRIENTS
This is the most important part of your hydroponics set-up.
Your mix and the choice of nutrients will depend on whether your
plant will die, grow, grow big, or grow very very big.
Nutrient solutions basically come in a number of different
forms. It is vital to check that the solution you use is the best for your
type of plant. Some solutions are for soil and can only be used with
soil. They contain the wrong elements for hydroponics use. There are
soil-based supplements/fertilizers and then there are hydroponics
nutrients.
Most hydroponics nutrient solutions are complete nutrient
solutions. They provide every element and compound needed for
proper plant growth. Because of this hydroponics nutrients are a bit
steep in price. Always spend your money on the correct nutrients
because any short cuts will lead to failure and kill your plant.
Single Packs:
If all the nutrients are contained in a single pack there is a
chance that the elements may combine and precipitate in the pack.
This may cause the solution to become unbalanced and is then
rendered useless to you and your plants. Keeping this in mind, get a
complete nutrient solution that is contained in several bottles called
'Twin' or 'Triple packs'.
