If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with knowing what your plants need to grow, you’ll be happy to know that all plants require the same key nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are the basics of what your plants need to thrive. However, the right balance of nutrients provided at the right stage of growth can influence how well plants may grow. This balance can also vary based on plant type.
Thankfully, providing your hydroponic plants with the right balance of nutrients can be simplified. Base nutrient products can help to eliminate some of the guesswork when it comes to providing your plants with adequate nutrition. Though you may need to supplement everyday nutrients to improve plant growth, you don’t necessarily have to micromanage your plants' nutrient intake when utilizing a base nutrient solution.
