Too Much of a Good Thing Can be a Problem

Dec. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- A lot of growers keep on complaining about their plants are not doing well, without knowing the reason behind that is they themselves.

Usually, growers drown their plants by overwatering assuming that plants need lots of water. Thinking that, they are doing well to their plant and kill them without knowing the reason.  Plants need water, but overwatering the plant roots will drown and rot if they stand in water.

All things are in moderation, including water. Unless you’re growing aquarium plants, don’t drown your plants. Give them adequate water and let the root area dry out a little between each watering.

If plant leaves are well-formed and horizontal or upright to the main stalk, the plants have adequate water. If the leaves are drooping and wilted, this is an obvious sign of water shortage.

Some growers buy watering meters that indicate the water content of the root zone. These meters are generally accurate but should be the ones designed for hydroponics, not for soil.

There is a type of hydroponics growing called aeroponics that immerses plants in sprayed water.  The reason plants survive in aeroponics is because the water is infused with nutrients and because the spraying of water creates oxygen which plant roots need in order to survive.

Don’t feed junk foods or they’ll get diabetes

Many North Americans are obese, or diabetic, or anorexic, or just plain weak due to poor diet.  They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time, and they make themselves sick. The same thing can happen with the plants in your garden.

Most hydroponics fertilizers are junk foods. They’re manufactured with cheap, artificial materials that are improperly combined.

These fertilizers have the wrong amounts of key elements. Growers often dump huge amounts of inferior fertilizers on their crops. The crops get sick, they turn brown, their leaves curl up, they give poor yield and they die.

It’s sad when a grower does everything else right (they research gardening before they start gardening. Allow adequate garden space, get the best lighting, water properly, inspect the garden daily and keep it secure) and then they ruin the garden using junk fertilizers.

Fact is, the only way to be smart about feeding your plants is to use Advanced Nutrients.
Advanced Nutrients fertilizers and harvest simulators are the only fertilizers tested, designed and manufactured for the hydroponics plants you grow. Because the plants you grow have way different nutritional needs than cucumbers and other plants do, it’s a big mistake to feed your plants fertilizers designed for cucumbers and other plants.
Advanced Nutrients make fertilizers for hydroponics plants. Use Advanced Nutrients, your plants get exactly what they need when they need it so they grow fast and produce larger harvests. Their fertilizers are the most economical, potent and appropriate for the plants you grow.

Avoid time-wasting, money-losing mistakes that suck the life and profits right out of their gardens, you are on your way to running a successful hydroponics venture that’s fun and profitable.
