Hydroponics Growing
USING NEPTUNE’S HARVEST LIQUID PRODUCTS IN A HYDROPONICS SYSTEM
When using these products in a Hydroponics System, there are a few things to consider.
The Fish and the Blend are stabilized with Phosphoric Acid to bring the pH down to 3.5.
This process keeps the Fish from rotting and stinking. Once you add water to the Fish, the pH goes up and it is no longer stable. Because of this it must be used sparingly in a Hydroponics System, or it will start to smell like rotting fish.
Medical marijuana growers found the best results when using 5ml/gal. of water(1oz = 29.6ml) and feeding once a week. This crop needs more nutrients then some others, so you can play with the rates somewhat, to see what works best for what you.
Grower note: "Use 5ml/gal of each product for each reservoir change (once a week), generally using more seaweed in the beginning (veg, transition) and end (last 3 weeks before harvest) and more fish in the middle of the flowering phase. As with the soil rates, knock out the fish product(s) about 3 weeks before harvest. Flush your plants properly with a couple of reservoir changes for at least a week before a hydro harvest”.
To simplify:
Veg - Week 1: 5ml/gal of seaweed & fish/seaweed
Weeks 2-6: 5ml/gal of all 3 products
Week’s 7+ 5-10ml/gal seaweed
Flush one week before harvest.
Use molasses or sweetener of your choice during the flowering cycle until flushing.
Because you’re using such a low amount, there is no odor. Also, you can try a constant feed, which will give the plants plenty of nutrients to grow.
