pH Control and Nutrient Management

Proper pH management is an important part of hydroponic growing. The pH of a nutrient solution influences the availability of essential mineral nutrients, so monitoring it regularly can help you spot and correct changes before they affect your growing routine.

Our pH Control collection includes trusted products from Growth Technology. pH Up is used to raise the pH of nutrient solutions that are too acidic, while pH Down lowers the pH of solutions that are too alkaline. Alongside these products, pH testing equipment and calibration solutions can help you measure accurately and make controlled adjustments.

Different plant species, nutrient formulations and growing methods may require different pH targets. Always prepare and mix nutrients first, check the resulting pH with a calibrated meter and follow the instructions provided with your chosen adjuster.

Add adjusters cautiously and re-test after mixing; the required amount depends on your water chemistry and solution volume.
