NUTRIENT STRENGTH Stay within our recommended EC/PPM ranges. All values are recommended nutrient dosages and should be adjusted as necessary. EC/PPM targets are based on usage of COCO CAL at lower end of recommendation. Adding COCO CAL at higher recommendation range will result in higher EC/PPM outcome. • For longer flowering varieties: Add weeks to the feeding schedule by repeating week 5 of Bloom for each additonal week. Contact CCH2O for additional info.

NUTRIENT CHANGES • For DWC/RDWC application a full nutrient change may be required every 10-21 days. As plants consume nutrient solution from the system it should be replenished with fresh nutrient solution from a top-off reservoir. The top-off reservoir should be maintained at a similar strength to the nutrient in the system. • For Coconut-Coir, Rockwool and Soilless applications we recommend to mix and use nutrient solution with each watering or change nutrient solution in reservoir every 7-10 days.

FLUSHING & LEACHING When applied to Coconut-Coir, Rockwool and Soilless mixes it is recommended to leach with UC ROOTS periodically to avoid mineral salt build-ups.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: For best results, all aspects of the grow space should be optimized including: day and night temperatures, humidity, light levels, CO2 and air movement. Refer to the CCH2O General Recommendations chart above for specific environmental parameters.

NUTRIENT SOLUTION TEMPERATURE: Maintain nutrient solution temperatures between 66° - 72°. This will allow for the highest levels of dissolved oxygen, discourage proliferation of harmful and ensure explosive root growth.

TOP-OFF RESERVOIR: Use a top-off reservoir to maintain consistent water levels in your hydroponic system. The top-off can be used for nutrient/pH steering or rapid nutrient change outs.

ADJUSTING PH & EC/PPM: Use one of the following methods for pH and EC/PPM adjustments. Stay within our recommended pH and EC/PPM ranges for each week of veg and bloom.

METHOD 1 - TOP-OFF RESERVOIR: Using a top-off reservoir makes it easy to follow weekly feeding schedules. The top-off reservoir should have a similar nutrient concentration to what’s in your hydroponic system or the following weeks nutrient schedule. For best results pH and EC/PPM adjustments should be done through the top-off reservoir.

METHOD 2 - NUTRIENT DOSER: When implementing nutrient dosing or equipment be sure to consult your equipment manufacturer for the proper concentration ratios.

METHOD 3 - ADD-BACK: Adding concentrated pH adjusters or nutrients directly to your hydroponic system may result in extreme plant/root shock. Dilute desired add- back concentrates into a volume of water before slowly adding into your hydroponic system. Use a venturi, such as a Mazzei injector, to easily introduce add-backs to your hydroponic system. Contact CCH2O for additional info.

*UC ROOTS can be added directly to your hydroponic system at recommended rates, it has no negative impact on plants/roots.

NUTRIENT CHANGE OUTS: Full nutrient change outs are beneficial every 10-21 days. If pH levels become unstable or nutrient levels start to rise this may be a good indication to do a full or partial nutrient change out. When feeding aggressively, nutrient change outs every 7-10 days may be necessary.

CAUTION: Adding organics, sugars, bacteria, and enzyme products have shown to promote biofilms which destabilize pH and require more frequent nutrient change outs. Copyright © 2017 Current Culture H2O. All Rights Reserved.
