by Stacey Jones

Before you get started, General Hydroponics has provided this helpful information, and a downloadable instruction sheet. All amounts are per 3.79 liters (1 US gallon).

 

CONVERSION CHART

  • 2.5 ML = 0.5 teaspoon

  • 5 ML = 1 teaspoon

  • 3.785 L = 1 gallon

RECIRCULATING NUTRIENT SOLUTION TIPS

  1. Keep nutrient solution temperature below 75F (24 C)

  2. Change nutrient solution every 7-10 days and top off with fresh water between nutrient changes

  3. For best results maintain nutrient solution pH between 5.5-6.5

  4. Keep nutrient solution aerated

TROUBLESHOOTING FACTORS TO CONSIDER

  • Arid, bright, hot environments cause plants to drink more than if they are grown where it’s humid, dim and cool. Thus gardeners should use less concentrated nutrient solutions when growing conditions are more intense in order to lessen the risk of overfeeding.

  • The pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a nutrient solution affects the availability of the elements contained within. Use GH pH adjusters to maintain nutrient pH between 5.5-6.5.
