Ferro has specialised in the development and production of nutrients for private and commercial
markets since the early 1990's. Development initially rooted in the Dutch flower/vegetable sector has further evolved to satisfy the needs of private cultivators.

Ferro ph - Grow 1L
For cultivation with hydro and coco it is necessary that the feeding water is set to a certain pH-value.
This pH range is around pH 6 (5.8 - 6.2). But small deviations above or below this value are still acceptable. The reason for this is that the feeding water determines the root environment because the hydroponic mediums are neutral and only give support to the roots, they cannot store the nutrient particles.
For soil this is different, since it is able to store the nutrients and distribute them to the plant over several days, during which the pH value in the soil itself decreases. The feeding water for hydro and coco cultivation however actually runs along the roots and must at this point contain all substances in the proper concentration required by the plant. That is also why the pH-value must be optimal at the moment of feeding, in order to be able to absorb all nutrients maximally. If the pH is much lower, the roots could be damaged. If the pH is much higher, the plant can no longer absorb all nutritional components.
Ferro PH + 1L
Hesi pH Plus is used to increase the pH level of nutrient solution.
The pH level will need to be raised when a more alkaline solution is required. Hesi pH Up contains potassium hydroxide (KOH) 50%. This is a very caustic liquid and should be handled with extreme care. Use Hesi pH up in conjunction with a reliable pH meter to raise the pH level of nutrient solution. Add a little at a time if your nutrient pH is too low in order to raise the pH to the proper level. Hesi Ph Up is available in 1 litre bottles.
To use: after adding all nutrients and additives to your nutrient solution, measure the pH level in the tank using a pH meter. If the initial pH reading is lower than that required by your specific crop, add Hesi pH Up. Start by adding very small quantities – drop by drop if necessary – and then mix the solution thoroughly before taking further readings. A pipette is useful for this purpose. Continue to gradually add more Hesi pH Up until the optimal acidity is reached.
