# Nutrient Feeding Guide

## Product Overview

### Part A (Vegetative Formula)
Designed specifically for the vegetative growth stage and non-flowering plants. Supports rapid growth, healthy leaf development, and strong plant structure.

### Part B (Bloom Formula)
Designed specifically for the flowering and fruiting stages of high-yield crops. Promotes flower development, density, and overall production.

### Part C (Base Nutrition)
Provides essential nitrogen, calcium, and micronutrients required for healthy growth throughout the entire plant lifecycle.

### Part D (Root Zone Optimizer)
A hypochlorous acid-based solution that helps maintain a clean root zone, improves irrigation system performance, and helps prevent mineral buildup in feed lines.

### pH Up
A potassium silicate-based buffer used to raise and stabilize nutrient solution pH after mixing nutrients.

# Important Mixing Instructions

⚠️ Always add nutrients in alphanumeric order.

Vegetative Mix:
1. Part A
2. Part C
3. Part D

Flowering Mix:
1. Part B

# Example: Mixing 1 Gallon of Vegetative Nutrient Solution

### Step 1
Fill your reservoir with 1 gallon of clean water.

Reverse osmosis (RO) water is preferred, but quality tap water may also be used if local water conditions allow.

### Step 2
Prepare clean measuring tools and sanitize any equipment that may come into contact with your plants or nutrient solution.

### Step 3
Measure 32 mL of Part A and add it to the reservoir.

Mix thoroughly for several minutes.

### Step 4
Measure 19 mL of Part C and add it to the reservoir.

Mix thoroughly.

### Step 5
Add Part D.

Recommended rates:
- Automated irrigation systems: 5 mL per gallon
- Hand watering: 2 mL per gallon

Mix thoroughly.

### Step 6
Allow the solution to mix completely to ensure all nutrients are evenly distributed.

### Step 7
Measure the nutrient solution using your pH, EC, and PPM meter.

Compare your readings to the recommended ranges above for your growing media.

### Step 8
Adjust pH using pH Up if necessary.

Because pH Up contributes additional minerals, add only small amounts at a time.

Recommended starting adjustment:
- 0.5 mL per gallon

After each adjustment:
1. Mix thoroughly.
2. Re-test pH, EC, and PPM.
3. Repeat as needed until the desired pH range is reached.

### Step 9
Once your nutrient solution is within the recommended range, your feed is ready to use.

Happy growing!
