How Do You Maintain A Hydroponic Nutrient Reservoir?
A solid foundation for maintaining your hydroponic nutrient solution reservoir! A reservoir forms the center of every single type of hydroponics growing systems. These basics give you effective control over every system type. Be a successful hydroponic gardener by effectively maintaining your nutrient solution reservoir. • Consult with a growing guide or a nursery to find the ideal pH and nutrient levels for your plants. • Check the beginning water quality with your TDS meter. Tap water measuring 300 ppm or greater indicates using either bottled spring water or a reverse osmosis filter on your tap water. See the “Tips” section for ideas on tap water usage. • Use a digital probe or test kit to measure the strength and pH of the nutrient solution every day. Measure twice a day for units with small nutrient reservoirs. Use a digital pH pen. With nutrients in your resevior, you can’t get a proper reading with paper strips or test tube drop kits. • Adjust the pH of your nutrient solution us

Note: An adjustment in your solution’s pH will affect its strength.The most affective is a pH of 6-6.5 never go higher than 7 or lower than 6 whatever you are growing. • Use a TDS or EC meter check the strength of your nutrient solution. If it is too strong, add water. If it is
