Here are some of the most popular organic hydroponic supplements. They can either be found separately or combined in potent organic teas of fertilizer.
Seaweed Plant Food - Seaweed plant food is probably one of the most significant breakthroughs in hydro-organic growing. Kelp is technically not a plant; it is a kind of algae. But they are algae that have to endure some of the most brutal environments on the planet. Strong tides and cold waters constantly threaten to destroy this fast growing organism, yet still it thrives, even growing more rapidly than virtually any land based plant.
It is able to achieve these feats thanks to a natural special formulation of hormones and vitamins that make it capable of enduring even the roughest of environments and still grow massively. Hydroponics companies have harnessed these impressive powers of kelp and included it in their products.
Bat Guano - Guano is one of the oldest organic fertilizers used. And it is still used today in combination with other hydroponics fertilizers to help plants grow to their full potential. The main advantage of this kind of fertilizer, particularly guano, is that it comes from fruit eating bats, and it has an extremely high amount of phosphorus. This nutrient, especially when it is applied in high amounts close to the flowering stage of development, can result in bigger blooms and more flavorful yields. For this reason, guano is typically used in organic teas that are designed as organic bloom boosters.
Alfalfa Meal - The three macronutrients that are most essential to plant development are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, usually expressed as NPK. While a steady supply of all three is important throughout your plants development, nitrogen has the most profound impact on your plants growth during the vegetative stage, as is one of the most potent sources of organic nitrogen, alfalfa. When combined with other organic fertilizers, alfalfa meal can help give your plants the boost they need during the vegetative stage to help them grow bigger and more lush.
Fish Extract - When people start thinking about what to provide their hydroponics plants, they usually overlook the importance of amino acids. These are the building blocks of your plants and can help their development greatly. Besides offering tons of these essential amino acids, fish extract also acts as a natural chelator, helping your plant soak up a lot of the nutrients in your nutrient solution.
It is important to remember to always experiment with different nutrients, supplements, and other hydroponics products. Only by trying different hydroponics products and seeing how well your plant grows will you be able to truly find the products, nutrients, and supplements that will be best for your garden.
