PH- HY-PRO

PH- by Hy Pro for growing

PH- or PH Down by Hy Pro is a PH stabiliser that increases the acidity level of water or, in other words, lowers its PH. It is a product made by Hy Pro, a fertiliser company that is one of our favourites for its good performance and competitive prices.

Ph- by Hy Pro has a nitric acid based formula that allows us to increase the acidity of the soil. This has the main advantage of allowing optimal nutrient uptake by the plant. If the plant is better able to obtain nutrients from the soil thanks to an optimal acidity level, we will be able to offer it the best nutrients so that the final harvest will be large and of excellent aromatic quality.

As many of you will know the acidity level of a nutrient and water mixture is measured by PH. The more stable the PH level the better it is for the plant, as changes in soil composition can be detrimental to the crop and cause the nutrient uptake regime to be affected.

The pH of the water is, along with the EC or electroconductivity of the water, one of the essential growing parameters to ensure proper plant development. A pH of 7 is a neutral pH; if the pH is above, the water is alkaline, and if it is below, the water is acidic. Most plants tend to prefer a slightly acidic pH, between 5.5 and 6 maintained in a stable manner over time.

If the pH of the water is slightly acidic, the water is acidic.

If the pH of the water varies, so does the assimilation of nutrients by the plant, and you can clearly see this in the appearance of your crop. PH- or PH Down will help you to correct small variations in the PH of the water used in the crop to keep it as stable as possible.

In case of hard water, the use of PH- or PH Down is essential, as these waters usually present an excess of calcium or magnesium, which alkalises the water and is harmful to plants.

How to use PH-

The use of Hy Pro PH- is simple and suitable for all levels. First of all, you will need to measure the pH and EC of the nutrient solution you use. If the result is too high, which is common in hard water areas, add Hy Pro PH- drop by drop and stir well. Then re-measure the pH of the water until you get a figure between 5.5 and 6.0.
