Terra Aquatica pH+ Up 5 l - (multilingual label including DE)

This solution is made using potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate. Use it when the pH of the nutrient solution is low to raise the pH to the correct level.

For all cultivation methods: hydroponics and soil

This new concept of pH regulation allows you to adjust the pH value, especially for fast-growing plants.

As growers, we always have a wish list that would make our lives easier if fulfilled. At the top of the list is a pH buffer that works so well that we could go on vacation for two weeks and when we return, the pH in the nutrient solution would still be the same. The problem is that this is only possible when the nutrients are weak, when there is not much activity in the solution and when your plants are growing at an average rate. When growth is supposed to be fast and a large number of ions are removed, and with all the complex interactions in the solution, this stability is unthinkable. But today we are not powerless. Today we can achieve satisfactory stability and additional benefits.

A solvent with good pH regulation is one where you only adjust the pH once, when you start the system. We don't claim to have achieved exactly that, and not in every situation and with every nutrient. But as far as pH regulation goes, we have tried using pH Down products in our greenhouses in combination with the Flora Series and Mineral Magic, plant growth has continued for weeks without the need for pH adjustment. In some smaller systems, the pH drops slightly, but after adding a small amount of pH Up, it rises back up to the desired level. In other cases, the pH stays very close to the almost ideal value of 6.0.

The ideal pH is actually the most important thing. A high pH promotes the uptake of cations and a low pH promotes the uptake of anions. Therefore, compromises must be made when choosing a pH value. Typically, a safe range of values ​​from 5.5 to 6.5 is recommended. We recommend sticking to the lower value, i.e. 5.5 to 6.2.

pH Up contains silicon dioxide

As for increasing the pH in the solution, this will be especially useful for growers who use osmosis or demineralized water. This new version contains silica, which improves the plant environment.

A lack of silica can be a limiting factor in hydroponics. This is because it is poorly soluble, so it is difficult to add enough of it to the solution. That is why we add it to our products whenever possible.
