Taking Care of Hydroponic Herbs

Posted by admin on August 12th, 2008 and filed under grow hydroponics |

Ah what nutrients to give your sweet herb darlings in your hydro garden? A good organic plant tea is highly recommended.

Here’s what is in it:

Alfalfa Extract - Alfalfa is the base of the highest quality organic plant teas because it contains high amounts of Triacontanol. This compound can help stimulate rapid growth in a number of ways.

Citric acid- he same stuff you can find in oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits, is a completely organic way to decrease the pH of your nutrient solution and ensure optimal uptake of nutrients.

Kelp- Nutrients derived from kelp can help your plants grow dramatically and provide some the biggest yields you can get with hydro-organic growing

Canola Meal - functions very well in an organic plant tea because it breaks down very easily, which makes more of the nutrients available to the plant.

Here’s a good source on nutrient info: http://www.advancednutrients.com/articles.php?articleID=95

One tea that is on the market is Mother Earth Super Tea found here.

So remember to feed theherbs in your hydroponic garden their regular dose of nutrients.
