After searching through the hundreds of products before finally selecting a high-quality hydroponic nutrient line, you may think the hard work is done. Not so fast \u2014 you still need to determine an accurate feeding schedule for your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the nutrient company has a feeding chart, then these are usually set up per gallon or liter, and you still need to calculate your own personalized chart based on the size of your reservoir, plant growth or bloom stage, and water hardness. That’s a lot of work, and it’s really easy to make a mistake if you’re not careful. Super careful. This is tedious and unnecessary now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make this process easier for you, we created the absolute best hydroponic nutrient solution calculator<\/a> on the planet for Green House Feeding nutrients Mineral Line. The best and most soluble hydroponic nutrient available today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you can<\/em> follow a basic feed chart, you’ll still need to adjust the recommendations based on your specific growing conditions. A nutrient calculator does the work for you, allowing you to supply your plants exactlythe nutrients they need. That means happy plants, high yields<\/a>, and no more wasted nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re going to cover the basics of feed charts and nutrient calculators and let in you on a little secret…not all calculators are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you’ve selected a nutrient line<\/a>, you need to make sure you supply your plants with the proper amount of nutrients. You can’t just add 5 grams of fertilizer every week and expect your plants to flourish! No, you’ll need to tailor your nutrient inputs to your plants’ needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that plants require different amounts of nutrients<\/a> as they grow. It might be obvious that larger plants need more nutrients than smaller plants, but feed charts let you know just how much more to supply at week 1 vs week 3 of vegetative growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another thing that feed charts help with is applying nutrients during the vegetative and flowering stages. In case you didn’t know, plants’ nutrient needs change<\/a> as they switch from veg to flowering. As flowering begins, plants need more potassium<\/a>, calcium, and phosphorus. Feed charts help you phase out and add in different products so you can meet your plant’s nutrient needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy Use a Feed Chart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
