Amounts of nutrients
Keep note of the amounts of nutrients and additives you add to each tank of nutrients you mix. You then have a good starting point for the next time!
RHIZOTONIC and pH
If you are using CANNA RHIZOTONIC always add this to the feed water before you adjust the pH; CANNA RHIZOTONIC is a natural pH plus product.
Adding acid to water
When you dilute an acidic product, always add the acid to the water, never add water to the acid, if it splashes it will cause burns on your skin or in your eyes!
Adjusting pH using pH+ or pH-
Do you want to raise or lower the pH by using pH+ or pH-? Then dilute a small amount of pH+ or pH- in a cup to make judging the dosage easier. Try to get the pH right the first time. Using a lot of pH+ or pH- one after the other will disrupt the concentration of bicarbonate in the water and affect its buffering capacities negatively.
Mixing nutrients
Measuring the nutrient reservoir works as follows: Take EC as the starting point, measure it and determine whether it should be higher or lower, based on the values shown in the instructions. Only then should you adjust the pH using pH- or pH+, if necessary. Try to get the nutrient solution’s pH value correct at the first attempt.
Adjusting pH
The products designed to adjust the pH are concentrated products. It is sometimes difficult to adjust the pH correctly in one go. To make life easier for yourself, dilute one part pH adjuster with ten parts water and use this to adjust the pH in your nutrient tank.
Don't use too much pH+ and pH-
Using too much pH+ & pH- with each other disturbs the bicarbonate concentration and the water’s buffering capacity. Also, the mutual balance between the different nutrient elements will be influenced and deficiencies could arise. Adding too much pH- or pH+ can be prevented by first diluting it with water before adding it to the solution.
