This liquid is used to raise the pH during the growth and flowering stages. Potassium hydroxide (abbreviated KOH 50%) can be successfully applied at all stages of sprout development.
For maximum results, Hesi Ph-PLUS corrector is recommended to be used in conjunction with Hesi PH-minus Bloom.
This tool allows you to quickly and effectively increase the pH of the nutrient mixture. The greatest result can be obtained when used at the flowering stage. Due to the fact that the product is highly concentrated, it must be used with extreme caution.
Why pH Plus is So Good for Hydroponics
Many growers unknowingly underestimate the importance of pH levels. However, acidity is one of the most important parameters, the indicators of which determine not only the health, but also the life of some plants in both hydroponic and organic crop production.
Measurement of pH is carried out on a scale from 1 to 14:
If the pH is 7, then we are talking about a neutral environment, with indicators below 7 - about alkaline. Acid contains more positively charged, hydrogen ions than negatively charged, hydroxide ions, and its pH ranges from 1 to 6.9. Alkaline solutions contain more hydroxide ions, with pH values ranging from 7.1 to 14.
The importance of pH and the possibilities of pH-plus
The required level of acidity is the key to excellent plant development. Changes in pH affect the ability of seedlings to absorb nutrients from the nutrient mixture. Each culture has its own acidity standards. Almost all plants feel fine with a slightly increased acidity, the indicators of which vary from 6.0 to 6.5, but there are also those that require a pH of 5.0 to 7.5 for normal development.
Elevated pH prevents the full absorption of phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. With a deficiency of these elements, the formation of brown spots is observed not only along the edge, but throughout the entire leaf area.
At pH above 6.5, nutrients can precipitate, causing plant growth failure. The acidity of nutrient solutions must be constantly monitored, since a change in this parameter in one direction or another can cause the nutrient solution to lose the substances necessary for plants. pH-plus can help you quickly and easily change the parameter to the required values.
