Food For Thought – Primary Macronutrients NPK
After outlining the importance of knowing a little bit about what goes into your plants when you concoct nutrient solutions), the next step is to take a closer look at the impact of certain elements on growth and development. Reviewing the back of bottled nutrients and boosters – which you should always do to get an idea of how to use the product – reveals a list of all the contents, the percentage of each one inside and more often than not the NPK ratio/value. This last point refers to the primary macronutrients Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K), needed by plants in larger quantities compared to everything else. Find out how these are used by plants, the effects of undersupply and oversupply and what you can do to ensure your crop stays healthy.

Keep Your Nutrient Solutions Cool This Summer
It certainly has been a pretty poor summer so far, but you should not take things for granted on the temperature front – UK grow rooms continue to get warmer and warmer by the day. Lifting up the lid of your feed tank to find brown and mushy roots remains an incredibly disheartening and all too frequent heat-related issue at this time of year, with failure to cool the nutrient solution almost always representing the cause. Thankfully a Nutrient Chiller will help keep feeds between the optimum temperature range, significantly boosting oxygen content for a whole host of benefits. Check out our article and see just how easy they are to set up and run!

Switching to the flowering stage
Switching to the flowering phase is a seminal point in the growing cycle, as you finally move on from vegetative development to fruit production.

Our expert grower Keith looks a little closer at the all-important process of switching to flowering, in both soil and hydro set ups. It’s a helpful starting point if you’re new to indoor gardening and a good refresher for more experienced members.

Protect your nutrients and boosters from the cold
Have you ever found yourself with a rattling bottle of nutrients or boosters during the winter? This is due to the effects of precipitation – a chemical reaction triggered by the prolonged cold weather that temporarily makes certain products unavailable for use. Precipitation also poses a further threat if you fail to thoroughly mix your nutrients and water together, preventing plant roots from accessing all-important minerals and ultimately stunting growth. Bearing in mind the clearly disruptive nature of precipitation, we suggest reviewing our tips for avoiding and overcoming it.
