Hydroponic Nutrients/Trace Elements for Commercial Growers
We offer superior bulk nutrients for the experienced, established Hydroponic gardeners.
This is not for the beginner or small home gardener since the quantities offered are
bulk commercial lots. Most of the main nutrients are packaged in 25 or 50 kg bags
or drums, 20 liter poly pails and 205 liter poly drums (275 kg). Some of the trace
nutrients (used in 10-20 ppm amounts), such as Ammonium Molybdate, Cobalt Sulfate,
Iodine, etc, are available in 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 kg packs and 25 kg drums.

Acidity or pH adjusters: Hydroponic solutions should have pH in the 5.8 - 6.5 range.
The following acids and bases can be used to either increase or decrease the pH level.
Lower pH (to make more acidic)
Acetic Acid 99.5% - 4 & 20 liter
Hydrochloric Acid 37% - 4 & 20 liter
Phosphoric Acid 85% - 4 & 20 liter
Sulfuric Acid 92-94% - 4 & 20 liter
Raise pH (to make more alkaline or basic)
Calcium Hydroxide powder 25 kg bags/drums
Potassium Hydroxide pellets 50 kg drums
Soda Ash granular 40 kg bags/drum
The uses listed above are suggestions only. Buyers should satisfy themselves as to the
proper grade before purchasing. Specifications, Certificates of Analysis and MSDS's
available upon request via email or fax.
Experienced gardeners know that hydroponic gardening is an environmentally friendly
way of growing plants, flowers and vegetables quickly and economically indoors using the
proper mix of water and chemical nutrients, trace elements and artificial lights in
conjunction with a viable controlled water/container system.
Great results are possible with minimum maintenance (adding some acid or base to keep
the pH or "acidity" so it is between 5.8 and 6.5 or adjusting the "drip". Plants and
vegetables can be grown larger and much faster than the conventional outdoor soil-grown
varieties.
If you are new to hydroponic gardening and wish to learn more about this method of
gardening, browse the web to find the many companies who supply all the necessary
lights, pre mixed nutrients, pumps, instructions, etc to get you started.
