What nutrient lines do you recommend?
We have customers using many different nutrient lines! Generally speaking, we stay fairly agnostic when it comes to recommending brands of nutrients to use with our product. We are confident that whatever brand you choose will work well with our product, as long as you follow the fertigation guidelines laid out by the fertilizer manufacturer.
Our patented BIOCHARGE contains a dual-buffer, biological and chemical, that when combined allows our growing media to metabolize and work well with most nutrient regimens, whether you are using salt or organic based, liquid or powder.
