GARDEN-HYDRO DOSAGE CHART
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: This dosage chart is designed for hydroponics, coconut fibre, or soil gardening. Simply select which phase
of plant growth your plants are in, then add the specified nutrient and additives to the reservoir. Refer to note for details. Dose
rates are expressed in ml per litre (1tsp = 5ml, 1Qrt = 946ml)

Hydroponics includes NFT, aeroponics and inert media based systems such as Rockwool, expanded clay, perlite and vermiculite.
* Halve CA-MG-FE dose if using ‘hard’ water (i.e. over 30ppm calcium), or the EC of make-up (tap) water exceeds 0.5mS/cm.
  Ca-Mg-Fe is generally not required for hydroponics, however, apply at 0.5ml/L if deficiency symptoms do occur (see label).
*** Once GROW-BLOOM SOIL is mixed with additives use solution within a few hours.
**** BLOOM LIFT is generally only required for heavily fruiting plants.   
***** Halve HYDROCIDE dose for sensitive plants or aeroponics.  Generally redose with Hydrocide every 4 days.  However, if roots are brown, redose every 1-2 days.
NOTES/ DOSING PROCEDURE:
Step 1.  Fill the nutrient reservoir with water:  Add the majority of water before adding the nutrient and additives.  For recirculating systems, allocate at least 10 litres for each large plant, or at least 2 litres for each small plant.
Step 2.  Add nutrient and additives:  Add in the sequences shown in the chart (from left to right) – Always add nutrient and additives separately – Stir well after adding each nutrient and additive – HYDROCIDE and SILICA DRIVE must be pre-diluted into ~1liter of plain water before being added to the reservoir and thoroughly stirred.
Step 3.  Immediately check pH using the pH Test Kit (disregard if using Grow-Bloom Soil):  Maintain pH between 5.0 and 6.5.  Adjust using pH Up or Down.  Re-check pH daily.
Step 4.  Feed frequency and volume:  Hydroponics, coco: Use this nutrient solution with each watering. – Soil: Use this nutrient solution every second watering (halve these dose rates if the nutrient solution is being used with each watering)
Step 5.  Maintain nutrient concentration (for re-circulating hydroponic systems only): Keep the reservoir topped up with water. Monitor nutrient strength using a conductivity (EC) meter. Do not allow EC to fall more than ~20% below the target EC. Maintain using GROW PLUS/ BLOOM PLUS.
DISCARDING & FLUSHING:  For recirculating systems ensure to discard, flush and replace nutrient every 7-14 days (do every 7 days if using hard/salty water).  For run-to-waste systems (especially soil & coco) flush medium at least every 7 days.
