Terra Aquatica pH+ Up 5 l

Product detailed description

For all cultivation methods: hydroponics and soil

This new concept of pH management allows you to carry out pH adjustment, especially in the case of fast-growing plants.

Like As growers, we always have a wish list that would make our lives easier. At the very top of the list is a pH buffer that would work so well that we could go on vacation for two weeks and the pH of the nutrient solution would still be the same when we returned. The problem is that this can only be achieved when the nutrition is poor, when there is not much activity going on in the solution, and when your plants are growing at an average rate. solution, such stability is unthinkable. But today we are no longer at a loss. Today, we can achieve satisfactory stability and at the same time other advantages.
A solution with good pH control is one where you adjust the pH only once, when starting the system. We do not claim that we have achieved exactly this, and not in every situation and with every nutrient. But when it comes to pH control, which we have tried in our greenhouses using pH Down products in combination with Flora Series and Mineral Magic nutrients, the plants have been growing for several weeks without needing to adjust the pH. In some smaller systems the pH drops slightly, but after adding a small amount of pH Up it will rise again to the desired level. In other cases, the pH remains very close to the near-ideal value of 6.0.
The ideal pH value is actually the most important thing. A high pH level supports the uptake of cations, while a low pH level supports the uptake of anions. In other words, compromises must be made when choosing the pH. A safe state with values of 5.5 to 6.5 is usually recommended. We advise you to stick to the lower value, i.e. from 5.5 to 6.2.

pH Up contains silicate

As for increasing the pH value in solution, it will be especially useful for growers who use osmosis or demineralized water. This new version contains silicate to improve the plant's environment.
Lack of silicate can be a limiting factor in hydroponics. And that's because it's poorly soluble, meaning it's hard to put enough of it into the solution. That's why we add it to our products whenever possible.
