Hydroponics is an innovative and sustainable way to grow plants without soil. Instead, plants are nurtured in a nutrient-rich water solution, which delivers essential nutrients directly to their roots. These roots are typically supported by inert mediums such as Coco Fibre, LECA, perlite, or peat moss. A common misconception is that hydroponics means growing plants solely in water or under artificial lighting – while these elements can be part of the system, the core of hydroponics is the soilless delivery of nutrients.
For optimal shelf life, store Focus nutrients in a cool, dark place. There's no need to refrigerate them, unlike Clonex Gel, which benefits from colder storage.
For most hydroponic plants, a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal. Regular pH monitoring is essential to ensure that plants can absorb nutrients efficiently and maintain growth.
To use Clonex, clean and sterilise your tools before starting. Cut your stem at a 45-degree angle just below a node, dip it into the Clonex Gel, and place the cutting in your chosen growing medium.
