HYDROPONIC NUTRIENT SOLUTION, FLEXIBILITY IN FERTILIZING

In hydroponic caltivation , one of the main advantages is certainly the speed and explosiveness of plant growth, furthermore, cultivating in hydroponics allows you to effectively and precisely control the hydroponic nutrient solution with specific fertilizers, guaranteeing the plant the right amount of micro and macro elements. . Nevertheless, the accuracy with which the pH is kept stable guarantees correct absorption of nutrients.

The flexibility in managing the fertilizers that we have in  hydroponic system  is absent in soil crops.
In earthy substrates, nutritional elements are already naturally present which make balanced fertigation difficult.
In hydroponic cultivation, almost all of the problems related to nutritional deficiencies or imbalances that occur on plants, is caused both by a bad use of fertilizers but also by the fluctuation of the pH: A pH that is too alkaline or too acid, completely cuts the absorption of some micro and macro elements vital for plant growth.
Furthermore, poor fertilization weakens the plants, especially the cannabis species in the flowering phase; on the other hand, excessive fertilization can even burn the entire plant system and in some cases lead to the death of the plant.
We deduce that the use of EC testers and even cheap pH testers is of fundamental importance if you want to undertake a hydroponic cultivation.
