Hydroponics is a sustainable and efficient way to grow plants without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution. This technique allows plants to receive all the essential nutrients directly through their roots, which are typically supported by an inert medium such as Coco Fibre, LECA, perlite, vermiculite, or peat moss etc. Contrary to popular belief, hydroponics does not necessarily refer to growing plants in water or under lights. While water and artificial lighting can be components of a hydroponic system, the key aspect is the soilless nutrient deliverymethod.
For precise nutrient mixing, follow the product's guide and measure carefully. Using accurate tools helps ensure proper nutrient dilution and maintains correct pH levels for optimal plant absorption.
To get the most out of GT Silica, it can be used with every watering.
Once mixed, a hydroponic nutrient solution will remain in optimal condition for about 1-2 weeks. After that, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria or fungi, which could harm your plants.
The Focus Range by Growth Technology is a range of premium hydroponic nutrients designed to meet the needs of foliage plants, flowering plants, and other specialised crops.
Silica in the form of potassium silicate is alkaline, which can raise the pH of your nutrient solution. It's important to regularly monitor and adjust your pH levels when using GT Silica.
