Understanding the pH Perfect Range for Advanced Nutrients

4 min read
In a controlled study, Advanced Nutrients demonstrated their pH Perfect technology's ability to maintain a stable pH for 10–14 days, effectively eliminating the guesswork of managing the pH perfect range. This automatic adjustment frees growers from daily monitoring and ensures consistent, optimal nutrient absorption.

What Effect Can a Change of pH Have on Nutrients? A Comprehensive Analysis

4 min read
A single unit change in pH represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity, a powerful shift that can dramatically alter the chemical state of essential nutrients. This fundamental chemical principle governs how and if nutrients can be absorbed, illustrating the profound effect a change of pH can have on nutrients across multiple systems.

What is the best pH for nutrients? Your ultimate guide

4 min read
Most plants flourish in a specific soil pH range of 6.0 to 7.0, but some species have different needs. Understanding what is the best pH for nutrients is critical for successful cultivation, as pH directly influences the availability of essential elements for plants in both soil and soilless systems.

Why the pH level of the nutrient solution is so important

4 min read
According to hydroponics experts, maintaining a stable pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is one of the most critical factors for successful plant growth. This balance is vital because it directly impacts how efficiently plants can absorb the essential minerals and nutrients from the solution, illustrating why the pH level of the nutrient solution is important for overall plant health.

What is the Coco Nutrient and Why It's Essential for Growing in Coir

4 min read
Coco coir is a sustainable alternative to peat moss, but because it is an inert medium, it contains virtually no inherent nutrients for plants. This is precisely why the 'Coco nutrient' was developed—a specialized plant food system formulated specifically to provide all the essential elements plants need when grown in coco coir.

Can You Use Too Much CalMag and What Happens If You Do?

6 min read
A surprisingly common mistake among new growers is over-supplementation with CalMag, often in an attempt to remedy a perceived deficiency. This can lead to a state of nutrient toxicity, proving that yes, you can use too much CalMag, and the consequences are serious for your plants' health.

What Are A and B Nutrients? The Ultimate Guide

3 min read
Hydroponic systems rely entirely on liquid solutions for plant nourishment. Understanding what are a and b nutrients is therefore key. These specialized, two-part fertilizers deliver a complete and balanced nutritional profile directly to plant roots in soilless setups, making plant feeding more precise and effective.

When to Stop Using Cal-Mag for Optimal Plant and Personal Health

4 min read
According to agricultural data, incorrect nutrient management is a leading cause of stunted plant growth and poor yields. Deciding when to stop using Cal-Mag is crucial for preventing over-supplementation, which can be as damaging as a deficiency for both hydroponic systems and human health.
