Home : FAQ : Recommended additions to current nutrient program

BRAND NAME NUTRIENTS:

The brand name product lines we sell are carefully engineered to have multiple products that work together to create the perfect nutrient balance for your plants.

We carry only quality brand name nutrients - those that we have personally tested and approved.

Each company has "recipes" which use complimentary products.  Each product serves a specific purpose, and combined together they make a complete nutrient program.

All of the individual products within one line (or brand name) are guaranteed not to interfere with each other, or inhibit absorption in any way.

Mixing brand name nutrient issues:

Sometimes when you add another nutrient/additive/supplement from outside of the recommended recipe or program, it can cause a chemical binding

This chemical binding can prevent your plants from absorbing valuable nutrients.

In hydroponics, this is easily seen as a 'snotty' substance developing on the bottom of your reservoir.

In soil, you wouldn't even be able to tell that this binding is taking place, until your plants start showing signs of nutrient deficiencies.

Stick with your brand name:

No one should waste their valuable nutrients!  We highly recommend that you stick to the manufacturers' recipes.

If you want to experiment between lines, feel free to ask us first before you add a product that you're not absolutely sure about.

You may be 'doubling up' on certain elements in your own custom recipe that could damage your plants.

Give us a call and tell us your program - we can tell you what to add or subtract from the program.
