Hydroponic Nutrient AB Solution / Powder / Powdered / Hydroponics / Liquid Fertiliser (Leafy/Fruiting/Flowering Plants)

1. anchoring itself into securely into the ground to prevent toppling under extreme conditions

2. absorption of water and nutrients which may not always be available due to the weather

 

Hydroponics systems have an added advantage over planting in soil because the nutrients are all available in the nutrient water. If the concentration of nutrients is at the correct level, the plants will not need to devote too much resources into developing the root systems, and instead divert these resources into growing leaves and fruits (which are the parts we are interested in).

 

Can be used for Kratky method, added to your hydroponics system, or used for watering plants.

 

Comes in 2 formulas:

1. Leafy Vegetables

2. Fruiting/Flowering Plants

 

It also comes in either a powder form or solution form.

 

===

Powder form can make 3L of Solution A and 3L of Solution B.

-500 g white crystals labelled A

-1.25 g black powder labelled A

-500 g green crystals labelled B

 

Instructions:

1. Dissolve white crystals and black powder labelled as A in 3L of water to make Solution A.

2. Dissolve green crystals labelled as B in another container of 3L of water to make Solution B. Ensure that A and B do not mix in concentrated form.

3. Dilute 5 ml of A and 5 ml of B into 1L of water to give an EC of approx. 1200 - 1500 μS/cm.

Solution form comes in 5 sizes:

1. Recycled 250 ml PET bottles.

2. HDPE 250 ml bottles

2. Recycled 310 ml PET bottles.

3. LDPE 500 ml bottles.

4. HDPE 1000ml bottles/rectangle container. (see 3rd picture)

 

For Leafy Vegetables:

Using a dilution rate of 1:200 will yield an approximate electrical conductivity (EC) of approximately 1200 - 1800 μS/cm, which is what most mature leafy vegetables need. For leafy vegetables at a younger stage, you can use a ratio of 1:250.

 

For Fruiting Plants:

Using a dilution rate of 1:200 will yield an approximate electrical conductivity (EC) of approximately 2000 - 2400 μS/cm, which is what the average fruiting plant needs.

 

Method of use for 1:200 dilution:

1. Prepare 1 litre of water.

2. Add 5 ml of Solution A.

3. Add 5 ml of Solution B.

We strongly recommend to get an EC pen so that you can measure the EC of the nutrient water to make sure it is at the correct concentration.
