Fill the gutter to the top of the Tower Support with water and nutrient solution. When filled to the top
of the Tower Support, one side of the Education Rack will hold approximately 4.8 gallons of solution.
We reccommend pre-mixed solutions like Dyna-Gro or Canna nutrient solutionts, be sure to follow the
dosing and mixing instructions of the fertilizer you choose to use. Depending on crop size, intensity of
lighting, and outside temperature, the Education Rack may need to be refilled several times per week.
ZipGrow Farm Walls come with pre-mixed nutrient solutions, either CANNA or DYNA-GRO (location
dependant). The nutrients we provide are specially formulated one-part nutrients for all hydroponic
grow systems. For more information on CANNA and DYNA-GRO products, contents, associated
hazards or personal protection requirements (MSDS) is available online at
cannagardening.com
. and
dyna-gro.com
(respectively). Be sure to read and follow the directions of the fertilizer. For additional
information on choosing a nutrient mix, read
this blog post
on the topic.
In addition to nutrients, an essential component to proper water quality is managing pH. Most crops
like pH to be between 6.2 and 6.8. Typcially, most hydroponic sytems will run more basic (higher in
number) as a by-product of plant growth, however, sometimes hydroponic systems can also run more
acidic (lower in number). To combat these fluctuations and to achieve pH values that are within a
plant’s normal growth range we recommend using pH stabilizers (as shown below).
