First, you’ll need to remove the plant bed or open the water inlet so you can add water to the garden container.
Step 1:
Combine these ingredients in a separate container before filling the reservoir, in the
exact order described below:
1. 2 tsp (10 ml) type A nutrient concentrate
2. Half of the water (4 cups or 1 L)
3. 2 tsp (10 ml) type B nutrient concentrate
4. The remaining half of the water
When refilling the reservoir, as you will need to do periodically, proceed as follows:
Ratio of Concentrate A : Concentrate B : Water = 1:1:200
1. Fill the reservoir with type A nutrient concentrate
2. Fill the reservoir with half the water
3. Fill the reservoir with type B nutrient concentrate
4. Fill the reservoir with the remaining half of the water
Notes on Concentrates:
• If Concentrate A and Concentrate B come in direct contact with one another, it can cause a negative reaction and
lead to sediment on the floor of the reservoir. In order to avoid this, please follow the proper order of adding liquid
to the reservoir:
Concentrate A > half the water > Concentrate B > the other half of the water.
• The proper ratio of concentrates to water is as follows:
Concentrate A : Concentrate B : Water = 1:1:200
A high nutrient density can corrode the roots of your plants, and a low nutrient density will stunt their growth, so
please try to follow this ratio.
Step 2:
1. Carefully cut the large sponge into small pieces, following the cut lines, and making sure that each piece of
sponge only contains one plant.
2. Remove the weak and overgrown plants, along with their sponges.
NOTE: The little plants in the sponges should by this point have about 2-3 leaves and the roots should extend out of the
bottom of the sponge by about 0.6" (1.5 cm).
