🚰 Basic Mixing Guide (Per 10L of Water)
New to hydroponics? Start simple! Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and basil are forgiving, fast-growing, and hard to mess up. Avoid root veggies (like carrots or potatoes)—they prefer soil life!
Growth Stage
Light Feeder (Weak)
Medium Feeder (Standard)
Heavy Feeder (Strong)
Seedlings & Cuttings
10ml A + 10ml B
15ml A + 15ml B
-
Vegetative Growth
20ml A + 20ml B
30ml A + 30ml B
40ml A + 40ml B
Flowering / Fruiting
25ml A + 25ml B
35ml A + 35ml B
50ml A + 50ml B
📌 How to Adjust Without a Meter
✅ Too Strong? (Nutrient Burn – Brown Leaf Tips) 

→ Dilute with fresh water (add 1L water at a time and observe).
✅ Too Weak? (Pale or Yellowing Leaves) 

→ Increase by 5-10ml of A & B per 10L water and monitor plant response.
✅ pH Too High? (Above 6.5, Poor Nutrient Absorption) 

→ Add a few drops of pH Down (Phosphoric Acid) or use vinegar (short-term fix).
✅ pH Too Low? (Below 5.5, Possible Root Damage) 

→ Add a small amount of pH Up (Potassium Hydroxide) or baking soda (very small amounts!).
🌱 Quick Tips
🔹 Never mix A & B directly – always add A, stir, then B. 

🔹 Start with the weakest dose and work up slowly. 

🔹 Check leaves every 24-48 hours for signs of over/underfeeding. 

🔹 Use rainwater or filtered water if tap water has too many minerals.
