Suitable for: Hydroponics/aquaponics/cutting propagation
Hydroponic growing requires a stable controlled environment, which can often be difficult to manage, but with HYDRO-GRO+ you have complete control. Its composition encourages root distribution and strength and as a pH neutral, 100% natural, chemically inert media, it provides the perfect base for full control of the addition of feeds, nutrients and any introduced fertilisers that form your hydroponic system.
Additionally to this, HYDRO-GRO+ soil-less growth reduces the associated issues of soil borne diseases, whilst encouraging beneficial bacteria or microbe colonisation. The product can be reused, offering a high crop cycle with complete control, from seedling through to harvest.
Choosing HYDRO-GRO+ is an absolute must to ensure you have complete control over your hydroponic or aquaponic system.
