Why should you
try one more plant food?
If our statement on plant nutrition does not make you or our competitors
go hmm, now that is a different look at plant nutrition, then do
not try our food. I William Sutherland have been building hydroponic
plant foods for over 25 years and I will give you a healthier garden,
with better yields, better taste and as our new customer state, I have
been growing for years and I want to be able to achieve the same
results as my buddy does, that use's your products, so I have come
here to learn your method.
So what makes our plant food different than other plant food out in the
market today? All plant foods are built with the same
13 elements, but the source of these elements do make a difference. For
instance; if you want to add Calcium which one do you choose and from
whom: Calcium Nitrate[Ca(NO3)2], Calcium
Chloride [CaCL2-6H2O], Calcium Sulfate [CaSO4-2H2O], Calcium Oxide [CaO],
Mono Calcium Phosphate
[Ca(H2PO4)2] and Calcium Limestone [Carbonate CaCO3] , Triple Super Phosphate
[CaH4(PO4)2], Calcium Hydroxide
[Ca(OH)2], each has a specific use within plant nutrition. Now take into
the fact that most manufactures of fertilizer salts
build each type of fertilizer salts, with some having better solubility
than others.
Growing Edge Technologies has built their Let's Grow
A & B and Let's
Bloom A & B, with certain manufactures fertilizer
salts. G.E.T. owners have been building hydroponic plant foods for over
25 years and have tried the same formulas with
different manufactures fertilizer salts, achieving different results
and now we only build our plant foods with these proven
mineral salts. And when you use our formulas G.E.T. knows that you to
will notice the difference in your favorite crops.
SO LET'S GET STARTED
Many manufacturers of plant food build their plant food
to be pH stable. pH buffers such as 2-(N_morpholino) ethanesulfonic
acid - abbreviated to MES will stabilize the nutrient solution. We,
at Growing Edge Technologies (G.E.T.) build
our plant food without pH stabilization capabilities, allowing the
grower to monitor the nutrient solution and fix a situation
before it becomes a problem with their yield.
By monitoring the pH of the hydroponic nutrient solution, the grower
can monitor the health of a plant. If the pH of the
nutrient solution continuously rises then the plant is healthy and
actively feeding. Do not allow the nutrient solution to
climb above pH 6.5. Change nutrient solution, even if it is before
the regular nutrient schedule change. There are two
main reasons why the nutrient solution can drop in ph value. One is
by not providing adequate volume of nutrient solution.
If the volume of water containing mineral elements is not enough then
the alkaline ions, such as, Ammonium
Nitrate (NH4+), Potassium (K+), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+) will
be utilized by the plant or plants quicker. Use
a Parts Per Million (PPM) Electrical Conductor Meter to monitor the
strength of nutrient solution. When the nutrient solution
drops by 200-ppm you have to change the nutrient solution. Use 2 litre
of nutrient solution per 4 days on small or young plants and up to 10
litres for large tomato plants. The second reason is that the plant
is fighting off an invasion of bad bacteria in the root zone.
