Basic Indoor hydroponics Gardening Guide – Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions

Basic Indoor hydroponics Gardening Guide – Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions

Improper use of fertilizers is the common cause of many plant problems. Inadequate amounts cause weak and under nourished plants while an amount above desired quantities may burn and even kill the plant. Good judgment and decisions are required when a plant grows. Below are guidelines for applying nutrient solutions.

 

Hydroponic nutrient solutions are normally sold in concentrated forms. They are then added to the water supply with a specific ratio. Ideally, 150-600 parts per million consists a normal concentration of hydroponic solution. Normally sold in two or three parts because direct combination is not possible. Remember to mix nutrients into water first before combining, never combine two nutrients together.

 How Much Hydroponic Nutrient Solution?

 There are specific proportions for each plant type and phase of its growth. Advances in nutrient solutions have greatly improved the precision of concentration based on a plants growth stage. Hydroponic nutrient solutions are usually sold in “grow” or “growth” formulas for the vegetative phases and “bloom” or “flower” for the flowering phase of the growth cycle. Remember to switch to the bloom formula during the bloom stager to increase yields exponentially and max out your plants capacity.

In poor growing conditions weak nutrients are recommended. Low lighting, overheated gardens, crowding and root bound plants. Weak nutrients are also ideal for newly rooted cuttings and for transporting plants or when they are in the transition of growth cycles.

Normal, healthy plants can be used with regular strength solutions in ideal growing conditions. Increasing nutrient solutions could be utilized to enhance efficiency of your gardens. An ideal system such as high quality lights, proper aeration and ventilation when present is the only instance wherein you could increase the level of nutrient solutions to improve plant growth. Gradually increasing the nutrient solution is advised as not to burn the plant roots.

 

Various additives are also available for optimum plant growth. Maintain good grow logs or records of types of additives used, when applied and results. This enables you to measure its effectiveness in the future. If there are any negative effects with experimentation, flush or rinse your hydroponic system immediately.

 How to measure Hydroponic Nutrient Solutions

 Electronic conductivity of dissolved minerals in the water is the usual basis for determining nutrient solution. Parts per million (ppm) is the unit of measure. But this is just a general way of measuring conductivity in the solution and not the actual strength of individual minerals. This is the main reason why hydroponic nutrient solutions are sold as a mix of 3 parts. Once the desired mix is achieved it is very convenient to change the concentration to achieve proper conductivity.

Overuse of Hydroponic Fertilizers

 Flushing out your growing medium is the first intervention once any signs of over fertilization are observed this is to prevent further damage to the plant. Clean water is used for flushing until signs of nutrient deficiency are observed in the plant. Normal feeding and schedule is then resumed. Some hydroponic systems require a top down flushing to completely clean out the plant.

 

2 weeks before your expected date of harvest, flushing is recommended for the plant. It is done to leave your harvest free from the hydroponic nutrients solution taste. 

My name is guy. I am the founder and owner of the urbangardenershop.com.au . I fell in love with hydroponics gardening. As time went by I gathered a vast knowledge base and 2 years ago I decided to find a way to make hydroponics gardening a hobby that anyone can peruse. I added a hydroponic gardening information center to our hydroponic supplies site that offers a large range of hydroponics articles. Thank you for your interest and feel free to ask questions on hydroponics gardening in our site

Mountsberg Conservation Area Wetland, Campbellville, Ontario

A few nice organic nutrients images I found:

Mountsberg Conservation Area Wetland, Campbellville, Ontario
	organic nutrients

Image by bill barber
Sorry I’ve been away for the last while. I’m back to my part-time job in the seasonal department at RONA for for a stretch, and I’ve also been working as a scorer for the Ontario Grade Ten Literacy Test. Scored about 3000 tests. All-in-all a pretty intense time. Karen and I are also looking after the grandkids a fair bit, now that the the good weather is here (sort of), and various kids’ activities have started up again.

Haven’t had time for photography; thus, this image picks up from where I left off in my Mountsberg set.

Will be around to see you all ASAP, but It’ll likely take a bit.

From "Mountsberg Conservation Area"
www.hrca.on.ca/ShowCategory.cfm?subCatID=1088
The extensive wetlands of the Mountsberg Conservation Area are a birdwatcher’s paradise. Waterfowl and shorebirds clamber about a misty lake while hundreds of warblers flit through forest and meadow. Nature surrounds you at this scenic conservation area that has great hiking and cross-country ski trails outfitted with boardwalks, birdfeeders and interpretive lookouts. You can even take in that first taste of spring on a horse drawn wagon ride in the Mountsberg Sugar Bush where maple syrup, pancakes and sweet sugar candy create indelible family memories.

You can even come face to face with a great horned owl. browse the exhibit gallery or gift shop, or see a live bird presentation during a year-round program with many special events. The call of the wild awaits you at this exciting conservation area!

What’s the best nutrient solution for you

	organic nutrients
by Ken Lund

What’s the best nutrient solution for you

Choosing a Feed

Hydroponics is big business all over the world and consequently many excellent feeds are available, and like plants everybody has their favourites.

Choosing a feed to suit your growing medium

It is very important that you choose an appropriate nutrient for your method of growing. Whilst it is possible mix and match hydro nutrients with organic growing mediums or even organic nutrients with hydroponic substrates we do not recommend that this is the best course of action for most growers. There are so many feeds designed specifically for certain uses/growing media that you should be able to find an appropriate feed. Using the wrong kind of nutrient for your growing medium can cause more harm than good – for example using a mineral based hydroponic feed with an organic soil will negate the benefits that soil growing can offer. You would be much better choosing a good organic feed in this instance. Broadly speaking there are three media types when talking about nutrient formulations:

Hydroponic Nutrients: suitable for rockwool, perlite, vermiculite and clay pebbles. These nutrients are mineral based and are formulated for direct uptake by your plants.

Organic Nutrients: suitable for organic soils. These nutients are designed to feed the soil rather than the plant. They encourage biological activity and take full advantage of natures own methods.

Coco Nutrients: suitable for coco coir medium. These Nutrients often utlilise the unique properties of coco as a growing medium better then hydroponic nutrients

Choosing a Hydroponic Feed

As there are so many good feeds, we encourage you to switch nutrients every now and again in case you find one that you or your plants prefer. They are all good and all have their slight differences, and it is good to try the various products available in the hunt for better yields. Just because you are getting good results with one package, doesn’t necessarily mean that that package is the ‘best’ for you. Constant experimentation will help you to refine your complete growing style and methods, and we highly recommend it.

Below we try to give you some practical information about each Hydroponic feed to try and help you pick one in relation to water suitability.

First we look at the three main categories of feeds, soft water, hard water and universal feeds. These relate to the type of water you have. You can get a good idea of water hardness from the pH level and to keep things simple in this article, we will use pH to guide you as to feed suitability.

Soft Water Feeds – Soft water has little or no dissolved minerals in it and consequently a low pH. This water is ideal for soft water feeds. Soft water feeds can be used in any type of water although pH adjustment may be needed. Mixing soft water nutrient solutions does not usually affect pH.

Soft water feeds are ideal for water with pH between 5.5 and 7.8

Hard Water Feeds – Hard water has some dissolved mineral elements already in it, mostly calcium and magnesium and consequently it has a high pH. Hard water feeds are only for very hard water. Mixing hard water nutrient solutions automatically drops the pH quite a bit.

Ideal for water with pH 7.8 and above.

Universal Feeds – Good for water that isn’t too hard and isn’t too soft. Automatically drops the pH a bit. Usually at full strength a universal feed will drop the pH approximately 0.8 e.g. from 6.8 to 6.0.

Ideal for water with a pH between 6.8 and 7.8

Advanced Nutrients Big Mike Recommends Competitor’s Product

www.growersunderground.com Hey-I realize this probably sounds crazy. But I want you to use a competitor’s product instead of one of my own products. This is not some publicity stunt, nor is Advanced Nutrients going to be distributing this product. It’s just straight up the right thing to do. In the video I explain in great detail why I’m doing this. In fact when our research showed that one of our competitors had a better product and it was going to take us awhile to play “catch-up” so to speak. There was only one thing to do, and this is it. No I haven’t lost my mind I really do want you to go out and purchase my competitor’s product. Because in life I’ve come to realize, that doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest thing. Enjoy BigMike
