Top FAQs
Explore our library of most commonly asked questions. FAQs are categorised across plant types, growing method, growth median and general categories of resources.
How long does Clonex remain effective after opening?
Clonex Gel is guaranteed to be effective for up to two years if the recommended guidelines are followed.
What are the twelve essential minerals plants need?
Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are required in larger quantities; iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum in trace amounts. All twelve are necessary — a shortfall in any one restricts growth regardless of the supply of the others.
Why do leaves yellow on indoor plants?
Yellowing indoors usually traces to one of three causes: excess water sitting in the root zone, insufficient light, or a nutrient shortfall in depleted potting mix. Checking drainage and light first resolves most cases.
Does repotting into a larger pot solve a nutrition problem?
Only temporarily. Fresh potting mix carries a fresh supply of minerals, but that supply depletes again as the plant grows. Repotting is a structural solution — more room for roots — rather than a nutritional one.
Is GT pH Lift safe to store and ship?
Yes.
Can I use GT pH Lift across different growing systems?
Yes.
How much GT pH Lift should I use?
Add GT pH Lift gradually using a dropper, mix well, and re-test before adding more.
How do I know if my pH is too low?
When pH drops too low, plants can struggle to efficiently absorb essential nutrients, which may lead to nutrient imbalances, reduced growth, root stress, and poor overall plant performance.
What is GT pH Lift made from?
GT pH Lift is a potassium carbonate based solution.
What is the ideal pH range for my nutrient solution?
For most growing systems, a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is recommended.
Can I use GT pH Drop across different growing systems?
Yes.
How much GT pH Drop should I use?
Add GT pH Drop gradually using a dropper, mix well, and re-test before adding more.
How do I know if my pH is too high?
If your pH is too high, plants may struggle to access key nutrients including iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
