pH DOWN (Quart)

Product Details

PH is very important in both hydroponic and soil gardening. When pH is not at the proper level, plants lose the ability to absorb some of the essential elements required for healthy growth. To maximize plant growth, the pH level of your nutrient solution should be slightly acidic. It's always a good idea to check the pH of your nutrient solution to prevent any mishaps. The ideal pH for most crops grown hydroponically is between 5.5 and 6.2 and for soil gardens, a pH between 6.2 and 7 is best. There are many factors which can affect pH levels: hardness of water, type of growing media, salt build up in system, root exudation, and extremely high growth rates. Always keep some BPN pH Up and Down on hand in the event you may need it.
