We suggest a weekly maintenance check on  
your pH level as it will increase over time.

For more info on adjusting your pH,  
go to lettucegrow.com/ph.

Now that you’ve assembled your Farmstand (and lights if you’re 
growing indoors) and received your seedlings, it’s time to start 
growing! We’ll show you how in a few easy steps.

Remove the tank cap and fill the tank with water using 
a garden hose or watering can until the water level 
reaches the bottom of the tank opening.

Add 4 scoops of Nutrient A to the full tank of water 
using a 1 Tbsp scoop and stir thoroughly. Separately add 
4 scoops of Nutrient B using the other 1 Tbsp scoop and 
stir thoroughly. This is the initial dosage only. For your 
weekly maintenance, see the dosage guidelines located 
on the back of each bag or check out our app. You can 
store your scoops in the bag with the nutrients.

Now check and adjust the water’s pH to ensure your
plants can optimally absorb the nutrients.

 
Fill the test bottle with 5 mL of water from the tank. 
Add 5 drops of pH test solution to the water and place 
the cap on the bottle. Give it a swish and match your 
water to the color chart included with your pH Test Kit. 
The ideal range is 5.5-6, but don’t stress if it is a little 
over or a little under.

If your pH is too high, add 1 scoop of pH down to the 
tank using the 1 tsp scoop. Stir the tank reservoir, rinse 
the Test Kit bottle with fresh water, and re-test after the 
pump has been running for a few minutes. If you have 
hard water, it is common to add multiple scoops.  
Plug in your Farmstand.
