What are hydroponic nutrients?
Hydroponic nutrients are specifically formulated for use in hydroponic systems. You may be wondering why you'd need different nutrients for hydro compared to soil.
The reason is that hydroponic plants do not have any nutrition from soil, or any buffer for the roots. Instead, the plants are fed directly at their roots, with ultra-concentrated solutions.
Plus, hydroponic systems can get easily clogged when using organic soil nutes. These nutrients are specifically for this style of growing, giving you the best chance of success with hydroponics.
If you aren't growing hydroponically, don't worry. We also have soil nutrient packages and organic nutrient packages.
Are hydroponic nutrients organic?
More often than not, hydroponic nutrients are not organic. Organic nutrients are incredibly thick, and can clump up. This leads to clogs and issues in your hydroponic system and tubing, which can wreak havoc on your grow.
If you want to grow organically, you are better off growing in pots and soil. Hydroponic systems require specific nutrients, as you likely know by now.
Why you should buy hydroponic nutrients in a package
Hydroponic nutrient packages contain all the nutrients and supplements growers need for their indoor hydroponic operation, easing the hassle and anxiety of having to formulate your own feeding schedule. You shouldn't waste your time piecing together a package on your own.
What nutrients are best for hydroponics?
Plants grown hydroponically need the same essential nutrients a soil plant needs. These include macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, but especially micronutrients, since hydroponic plants due not have access to these through soil.
Some supplements that you should include in your hydro grow include silica, root stimulants, and cal-mag.

How do plants get nutrients in a hydroponic system?
Once you have mixed your fertilizer with pH neutral water, an air pump and air stone introduce oxygen into the nutrient solution, making it more readily available for plant roots.
Then, a water pump delivers the nutrient solution through the hydroponic system directly to the hydroponic grow media, feeding the plants directly at their roots.
