Ionic GROW and Ionic BLOOM are single pack hydroponic nutrient concentrates. Basically this means they are plant foods that can be used in both hydroponic systems or as a liquid fertiliser for non hydroponic growing.
They are complete formulae in that they contain every mineral that plants require and these are present in balanced amounts and in a forms that are readily available for absorption by the plant.
Ionic Grow has more nitrogen for vegetative growth. Ionic Bloom has more potassium and phosphorus and is very suitable for plants when they are flowering or fruiting. Note that Ionic Bloom will not cause plants to flower or fruit, but it will feed them properly during these stages of growth.
These come as concentrates so must be diluted with water before they are fed to the plants. For hydroponic growing these are straight substitutes for hydroponic twin packs. For non hydroponic growing the concentrate most easily is diluted in a watering can and fed to the plants weekly or fortnightly depending on how fast the plants are growing.
For hydroponic growing the concentrates can be diluted until the required EC is reached which is generally between 5 and 10 mls per litre of water. For a watering can, 5mls per litre of water is sufficient.
Ionic is quite concentrated so contact with skin is not advised. Do not let it splash into your eyes. Store it at room temperature and out of the way of children.
Complete, balanced and pH buffered nutrient profile
Unique, sludge free, crystal free formula
Available in ‘Grow’ and ‘Bloom’ formulations
1.Calculate total tank volume. Add Ionic at 7ml/litre (eg for a 10 litre tank add 70ml). Stir thoroughly, running the pump if possible.
2. Check conductivity (EC) of the solution - 1.5-2.2 mS/cm is recommended. Add more nutrient if necessary.
3. Ionic PK Boost is an optrional supplement to any bloom solution - add at 1ml per litre for enhanced yields. Stir tank thoroughly. Add Ionic PK Boost following the instructions on the PK Boost bottle.
4. Finally, check pH of solution. pH 5.5-6.2 is recommended. If required, adjust using Growth Technology pH up
