It's pretty weak

3 years ago
I had to use several times more of this than the previous brand I was using, but I think the price between the brands to balance my solution is pretty close. this is a third of the price and I have to use three times as much. on the plus side it's obviously much safer being a weaker mixture. it would be great if the concentration was listed on the bottle so I could calculate how much to use

Yes, I recommend this product.

Q: How many litres of water does this treat, per bottle?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The pH Up or Down is used to adjust the pH of the nutrient solution in the root farm system. The amount of pH Up or Down used will depend on the type of plant and the pH that is required (most are between 5.5 and 6.5), the current pH level of the water. The pH can vary each time the consumer tests because of the type of plants, the water quality and other nutrients being used. We cannot provide a specific amount to use because it would not be accurate. The consumer has to make this decision based on the testing information that they have and the range that they need to achieve.
