Nutrients & Additives

As with all hydroponic systems, it is only as good as the food that you use. It is our belief that some nutrient in some cases give better performance or pH stability than others. However, personal preference and subjectivity rules the day. A lot of the time it's like asking what's better? Red or white wine? Bitter or lager? It depends apparently on what you're eating with your drink! Well, if you believe that, then you'll believe anything. Hydroponics is the same. If you find a nutrient you like and you believe it performs well then stick with it. If you are unhappy with your results then experiment with another make, or a combination of makes and products; you've got nothing to lose.

Nutrients are a very important part of the hydroponic growing process and we at Esoteric Hydroponics have sourced the best nutrients that are available on the market today. Generally speaking, there are grow nutrients (for young plants and vegetative growth) and bloom nutrients (for flowering and fruiting).

While it is true that plant "foods" for soil are not suitable for hydroponics, it is quite possible to use hydroponic solutions for soil growing. You can actually achieve great improvements this way because the plant is fully supplied as it may not have been before.

Click for a larger view

Over the past ten years, House & Garden van de Zwaan cultivation house has developed to become a reliable and successful supplier/producer of plant nutrients. This success has been achieved by working closely with scientists, analysts and physicians who are each specialised in a component of botany.

House & Garden is currently working on the latest technology and research systems. They also co-operate with companies who are very advanced in the manipulation of plant processes. House and Garden's strength lies in the study of the substances in a plant which stimulate the necessary development.

These nutrients represent new evolutions of plant growth development, processes and manipulation creating unsurpassed quality, flavour, potency and yield.

If you are undecided just give the Bud-XL a whirl and you will soon convert to the whole range of these superb nutrients.

The Roots Excelurator also has a very curious property that when employed in your system will eradicate any fungus or virus born pathogen. Put simply, this stuff entirely destroys pythium, fusarium, and any other root harbouring diseases. And with the warmer weather on its way, we all know it makes sense to get a bottle of this stuff as an inexpensive insurance policy to protect your beloved plants if any root disease does strike.

Trichoderma (the small bottle in the picture above)

Trichoderma (the small bottle in the picture above) Developed by Canna. When applied just once to fresh seedlings or recently rooted cuttings, Trichoderma in effect coats the roots of the plants with a protective layer of friendly bacteria. This friendly bacteria will grow with your roots providing very good lifelong protection to your plants against
more dangerous bacteria like pythium.

This product works along the same type of principle as a flu jab, exposing your young plants to it makes them more resilient to stronger bacteria it might encounter in the future.

Most popular with the larger grower as a very cheap insurance policy. A 10 gram vial is sufficient for approximately 300 plants.

Trichoderma
