HELPFUL GUIDELINES
PLANTING
To prepare a seedling or a plant for transplanting, remove all soil and/or organic material
from around the roots. Plants must be sturdy with established roots before transplanting.
Choose seedlings because it’s more difficult to successfully transplant older plants. If your
plant has been growing in soil or peat moss, gently remove the plant from its pot and
carefully rinse as much soil as possible from the roots before transplanting. Although this
method of transplanting from soil to hydroponics is somewhat risky, (soil may contain
diseased organisms that proliferate in the rich hydroponic solution), we have been very
successful in implementing, particularly with culinary herbs and encourage you to try it.
You can avoid these problems by starting plants from cuttings in one of our RainForest™
Systems or RapidRooters™.
PLACEMENT
Abundant light, proper temperature and
adequate ventilation are crucial for fast
growth, healthy plants and higher yields. Place
the AeroFlo
2
system in a warm, well-lit, well-
ventilated location, such as an outdoor garden,
sunlit window, patio or greenhouse. Keep your
AeroFlo
2
away from areas where the inevitable
dripping that occurs during filling, draining and
pH adjustment could cause water damage.
NUTRIENTS
Start by choosing either the most widely
recognized, reliable nutrient in the industry, Flora
Series
®
or step into the technological breakthrough
of FloraNova
®
for the accelerated performance
of mineral nutrients enriched with the healthy,
flavorful characteristics of organics. Please refer
to our Feeding Schedule that is provided with the
system for nutrient recommendations.
• Keep the nutrient solution temperature
below 75° F (24° C).
• Change nutrient solution every 7-10 days.
• Top off with fresh water between
nutrient changes.
• Keep nutrient solution aerated for best results.
• If your water is above 200 ppm total or 70 ppm
calcium, use Hardwater FloraMicro instead
of FloraMicro.
The pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a nutrient solution
affects the availability of the elements contained
within. Use GH pH adjusters to maintain nutrient
pH between 5.5 - 6.5.
