TOP HYDROPONIC NUTRIENTS & WATER SOLUBLE FERTILIZER

, do plants taste any better?

That?s the question; Organic nutrients can also be used as fertilizer in hydroponics. However what you taste from your plant is not what you feed the Plants, as plants do not differentiate the nutrients they absorb resulting from hydroponics or organic nutrient solutions. For example, nitrogen is typically available as NO3- or NH4+. It does not matter to the plant whether it came from guano or bottled nutrient.

But having said that organic nutrients are generally more complex than synthetic-processed solutions, Many organic based products are fortified with other compounds which include complex and simple sugars, amino acids, phyto-hormones, vitamins, minerals.

So which is best, well its really a personal chose, I prefer organic fertilizers simply because their more environmentally friendly and can also be made at home too.

? MICRO NUTRIENTS (MINI CHEMISTRY LESSON)

Plants also require micro nutrients in order to really thrive, hydroponic nutrients supply these in an all in one solution They include all the trace elements, too. So hydroponic solution is kinda like your One-a-day Vitamin pill, it contains traces of iron, boron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, copper, cobalt, chlorine, selenium and silicon.

? POTASSIUM SILICA (THE ELICIA OF LIFE FOR PLANTS)

Soluble silicon promotes natural fungal defense mechanisms in plants, significantly reducing and, in many cases eliminating entirely, the need to use fungicides.

? KELP FERTILIZER, the many benefits of kelp

Using kelp in your hydroponic nutrients has many advantages; it contains many minerals, over seventy in-fact, plus trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, proteins and growth hormones.

Kelp contains many wonderful things such as over 70 minerals and trace elements, growth hormones, vitamins, enzymes, and proteins, kelp has many more benefits that aid the plants though there life cycle.

. Ec meter and ppm meters

EC is the measure of the electrical conductivity within a liquid solution. In a liquid solution the electricalcurrent is carried by dissolved solids or ions. The conductivitymeasurement (EC) is directly affected by the number of dissolved solids in the solution and will increase as the quantity of dissolved solids increases. Pure water has an EC of 0, but as you add fertilizer to the water, the EC will climb.EC is measured in Milli-siemens per centimeter (MS/CM).1MS = 0.7 EC = 7 CF (conductivity factor). EC is the mostconsistent measure of overall solution strength. EC is thebasis for which PPM (parts per million) is determined. Differentmeters balance their PPM to different EC multipliers.

Here are also some simple chart to give a reference of EC relating to PPM readings:

? PH adjustment

Although some nutrient pack solution's will automatically adjust your solution's PH, its always best to check. After you?ve mixed your solution the ph of the solution after its cycled through the system for half hour.

Liquid Seaweed kelp Fertilizer For Your Gardening

KELP FERTILIZER-Kelp grows under water, off the shore-line in parts of coasts around the world in what's known as the neritic zone.

Which is a highly oxygenated part of the coastal waters, where kelp forests grow, kelps structure resembles land plants, so resembles a plants stem with leaf like shapes attached, termed ?stripes and blades.?

Kelp has found to have uses throughout human history, from dyes to medicines and also used as a soil mulch, to condition poor quality soil, and also improve the soils moister retaining properties.

Seaweed is thought to have found its uses in early farming practices and was still used as a mulch by farmers that lived close enough to collect this free resource until the mid 1950?s, although some small hold farmer still do harvest kelp to this day, on the shores of England, along the tide line.

There's benefits to be had from kelp than simply using it as a mulch though, as kelp also has a high mineral content, in fact over seventy minerals and trace elements, which when added to soil as a fertilizer, can really help your plants to flourish.

Amazingly, the usefulness of kelp does not stop at its soil conditioning properties, but has also been found to have high plant growth hormones, so when dried and dug into soil as a mulch, plants also benefit from the kelps growth hormones too.

Its thought that kelp has these high concentrations of growth hormones, because of the constant stress these plants are living under from ocean currants, that constantly damage the plants structure and also the need to reach out off the poorly lit ocean waters.

There?s one particular type of kelp that has higher amounts of growth hormones than most, and it?s named Ascophyllum Nodosum, found round the northern hemisphere, in the colder water, which has very high amounts of growth regulators, namely, cytokines, auxins and gibberellins which are responsible for cell division within the cell walls.

As I?m not fortunate enough to live by the coast, I have to make do with buying a ready made formula, from Maxicrop, which is happily named liquid kelp fertilizer, that I?ve been using on its own or mixed in with my own homemade organic fertilizer nutrient solution, for the last fifteen years now, and when poured, looks just like crude oil does, except that it smells a whole lot better than oil does, ?well I think so.?

There is two ways of using of using kelp liquid fertilizer, either mixed with, ?preferably rain water? then mixed and poured directly on soil, or used as a foliage spray.

Spray directly to your plants foliage being very affective, as uptake is up to ten times more affective than just watering alone.

Another form of kelp fertilizer is the dried granular kelp, that?s often mixed with bulking agents and other fertilizers, making the overall kelp extract, diluted.

. To Conclude

Liquid seaweed will improve the success rate, of taking plant cutting, germinate seeds quicker and also encourage plant root formation, making your plants ability to fight diseases, also adds flavor and colour to any plant, all these benefits help to maintain a strong healthy, disease and insect free plants.

So if there?s one plant supplement you do buy, make sure it?s a kelp extract solution.

And for a little more general info on and its properties kelp

If you?ve not heard of silica this is a must read.

Ionic Hydroponic Fertilizer Nutrient Solution

Soil and hydroponic fertilizer company ?Growth technologies? are manufactures of commercial crop nutrients and have been since 1984.

? Nutrient Innovation

Growth technologies patented IONIC nutrient solution, make available for the first time, a true one Pack hydroponic nutrient solution available. and luckily for me its also the first hydro fertiliser I bought, recommended by the guy down the road that works at the near-by hydro store.

? Why Use Single Pack Nutrients

Ionic single pack nutrients for hydroponics locks together all the larger molecules that make up the NPK fertilizer together, making your nutrients ratios just right, every time. Fixing these larger molecules like calcium that?s used for cell walls of plants, basically leaves more available to your plants after the chemical reactions.

? Is One Pack Nutrients Only For Beginners

Many folk say that growth technologies IONIC hydroponics fertilizer for beginners, simply because its easy to use, and don?t understand that it?s the way its made that makes this hydroponic fertilizer so unique to hydroponic plants, ?its just coincidence that its also very easy fertilizer solution to use.?

. TIP All hydroponic fertilizers need a real good shake before measuring solution out, but with growth technologies IONIC its particularly important as the larger nutrient molecules that make the solution look less refined, that really need a good shake before poring out.

? What The Main Advantage Of Ionic Hydro fertiliser

For most Folk, me included it?s the stability of+ PH Of Water+ once IONIC fertilizers added that gives this hydroponic nutrient solution its main advantage, as it?s the creation of them larger bound molecules that buffers hydroponic fertilizer, leaving a stable fertilizer for your plants.

? Why Use Nutrient Booster For Flowering Plants

Flowering/fruiting plants have a high demand for specific nutrient elements from hydro fertilizer, a vigorous crop can quickly reduce specific nutrient elements, even with bloom nutrient packs and with most plants adding Bloom Booster will increase yield wait and mass.

Potassium in particular as its an important nutrient element for plant growth, Potassium ?often called potash? which plays an important roll in fruit size and is often called the plant regulator.Symptoms of depleted potassium nutrient solution are poor flower development, stunted plant growth and poor quality fruit, without potassium plants cannot properly use many other of the hydroponic fertilizer nutrients, which also drive plant growth.
