HYDROPONIC NUTRIENTS and the Formula We Use!

Hi everyone!
So as promised to answer many questions that we have recieved on how and what we use for nutrients in our hydroponic system, Here you go!
Again, we apologize for not uploading yesterday, but we had to take advantage of the beautiful weather we are having to get other jobs done before winter hits.
I will add links to all products below.
I will also be uploading a microgeen video once this one is up. Stay tuned!

I am planing since early 2019 to start a small growing green house about 30m x 20m and I guess you are the propers one that I had me inspired to keep going on planning what to do and how to do. In a future I would like you to help with some things, of course if you can, and I really thanks you. Guys I am very curious but my big answer is....could I do this for a living? How many days and hours do you dedicate just for the hydroponics??? thanks again in advance for your kind help

    Great info, thank you! I have some questions: 1. How often you are replacing the whole amount of liquid in the tank? 2. When the level of the liquid in the tank goes down I suppose that first you add water to bring back the EC to the level you want. But if the level of the liquid in the tank is too low and the EC is the one you want, do you top-up with a quantity of nutrient liquid with the same formula as you mentioned in the video? Do you top-up with small quantities every day or you add a larger quantity every week? 3. In case you top-up, it ever happens to lock the nutrients in the tank and the plants start suffering? Thank you in advance for your answers

    Seeing as no one answered you I will chime in. You will never eliminate Alge growth as long as you have water light and nutrients. You manage it with a proper reservoir water rotation cycle and minimizing light exposure where you can( keeping reservoir blacked out). You could eliminate most of the Alge by running a UV light but that will pull calcium out of solution. In the end you just manage it.
