FAQ
A base nutrient is a foundational fertilizer that provides essential macro- and micronutrients for plant growth. It supports both vegetative and flowering phases, ensuring plants are healthy and productive throughout the growth cycle.
Choosing a base nutrient depends on your crop, water source, and system type. Look for products formulated for hydroponic systems that provide a complete nutrient solution with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrient levels.
Yes, many base nutrients are designed for use in both soil and hydroponic gardens. Always check the label for compatibility and adjust feeding rates as needed for your medium.
A 2-part base or a 3-part system allows precise control over nutrient ratios during different growth periods, such as veg and flower. This flexibility helps prevent deficiencies and supports optimal plant nutrition.
Micronutrients like iron, zinc, and copper are essential elements for enzyme function, chlorophyll production, and overall plant health. Deficiencies can lead to stunted growth and poor yields.
