An overview of hydroponic nutrients for every grower

Hydroponic systems can conserve more water and represent huge efficiencies because they are water-based; that is, they use water as the main delivery method of plant nutrients.

Because nutrients are more directly available to plants, hydroponic systems can eliminate bottlenecks to production that are involved in nutrients. This increases the growing capacities of these types of systems.

It also makes nutrient management the crux of a well run hydroponic system. So what exactly, does nutrient management entail?

Great nutrient management occurs when growers are:
  1. Informed about plant nutrients and where they come from
  2. Supplying adequate amounts of nutrients to plants
  3. Supplying the correct ratios of nutrients to plants
  4. Monitoring and measuring each plant nutrient at any given time
  5. Making economic and work-flow conscious decisions about nutrients
