Why the root zone matters
The crop receives nutrients from the full feeding system, including the irrigation water.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check the complete nutrient formulation
- Account for calcium and magnesium in the water
- Review actual crop and substrate analysis if symptoms appear
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What are you currently adding?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Complete coir nutrient programme
Check its suitability before adding supplements.
Separate supplements without records
Calculate total contributions with the adviser.
Water-only irrigation
Clarify the crop's nutrition plan promptly.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Review the complete programme rather than one nutrient bottle.
Keep in mind
Do not add a calcium-magnesium product automatically to every buffered substrate.
