What are NUTRIENT A + B, and how do they work?
Nutrient A and Nutrient B provide the primary, secondary, and micronutrients that plants need to grow. They are packaged in two separate bottles to allow for concentrated solutions. Always use equal amounts of Nutrient A and Nutrient B according to our feeding chart.
Why should I choose HYGROZYME NUTRIENT A + B?
Like all HYGROZYME® products, Nutrient A and Nutrient B are manufactured in a facility that upholds strict quality standards, ensuring consistency and reliable performance in every bottle. These nutrients are effective for all grow media and stages of plant development. In addition to essential nutrients, they feature a high-quality seaweed extract rich in trace elements vital for plant health, helping to mitigate abiotic stress. Furthermore, Nutrient A and Nutrient B are designed to integrate seamlessly with all other HYGROZYME® products.
Why are NUTRIENT A + B not provided in a single bottle?
Combining Nutrient A and Nutrient B into a single bottle would require a larger volume to dissolve the nutrients, essentially creating a ready-to-use solution.
What is the shelf life of NUTRIENT A + B?
The shelf life of Nutrient A and Nutrient B is three years from the date of manufacture, provided the products are stored properly. They should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated place away from sunlight and heat.
What is EC?
EC stands for electrical conductivity. It indicates the amount of salts and nutrients dissolved in a solution and is typically measured in millisiemens per centimeter (mS/cm).
What Is the difference between EC & PPM? How are they related?
PPM stands for parts per million. Both EC and PPM measure the amount of dissolved salts in a solution and thus the nutrient levels available to plants; a higher EC corresponds to a higher PPM. One mS/cm EC is equivalent to 500 PPM when using the PPM 500 scale.
How much NUTRIENT A + B is required?
Please refer to the grow schedule on the feed calculator. Always dilute Nutrient A separately from Nutrient B before mixing them together.
What about heavy metals in the products?
Nutrient A and Nutrient B are registered products, licensed for sale in certain US states and rigorously tested to meet the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) standards for heavy metal content. Information on the metal content levels is available at http://www.aapfco.org/metals.html
What Is the PH of NUTRIENT A + B?
The pH of Nutrient A is 6.7, and the pH of Nutrient B is 4.5.
Do I need to shake NUTRIENT A + B before mixing them?
It is not necessary to shake the bottles before use.
Can I mix products from different manufacturers?
Nutrient A and Nutrient B are generally compatible with other water-based products. To ensure compatibility, we recommend performing a jar test before making a large application.
How long is the vegetative stage?
The average vegetative stage typically lasts between 3 to 5 weeks. This duration depends on the grower’s preference; a longer vegetative period will result in a larger plant, though it may not necessarily be better.
How long is the Flowering stage?
The flowering stage varies by strain and typically lasts between 8 to 11 weeks.
What sizes are available for NUTRIENT A + B?
Nutrient A and Nutrient B are available in the following sizes: 1L, 4L, 10L, 20L, and 208L.
