PLANT NUTRIENT MIXES

UltraClean Super Plant Food mixes come as follows:

1. The plant mix, such as a "lettuce" formula. This plant mix contains the micro nutrients (trace minerals), 
potassium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate and other key nutrients needed by your plant.

2. The CalMag mix. This contains just three nutrients: Calcium Nitrate, Magnesium Nitrate and Iron 
EDTA.

NOTE: 

All the nutrients in UltraClean Super Plant Food are water soluble. They are designed, in other 

words, to almost completely dissolve in water and stay in solution. After adding them to a water 
reservoir, you will need to vigorously stir the water to dissolve the nutrients. Over time, you may notice a 
very small amount of un-dissolved nutrients (about 1% of the total nutrient mass) in the bottom of the 
reservoir pail. This is normal and not a concern.

As a rule of thumb, you will typically use these formulas together in a 1:1 ratio for more common plants. 
However, the ratios and concentrations of these nutrients varies considerably when growing plants that 
bloom (such as strawberries or tomatoes). "Grow" and "bloom" cycles of plants have different nutrient 
needs, which we will cover later.

Why is the CalMag separate from the general plant mix? Calcium and magnesium often need to be 
added in ratios other than 1:1. Keeping the nutrient mixes separated allows you to control the ratios that 
you add to the nutrients.

TIP: 

If you have multiple grow boxes connected to a single water reservoir, make sure you are growing 

all the same type of plants. For example, if you are feeding your water reservoir lettuce mix plant 
nutrients, you want to make sure all the grow boxes connected to that water reservoir are growing 
lettuce, not something different such as green peppers.

TIP: 

Lettuce is the easiest crop to grow, and it's the crop we recommend you begin with. It's also the 

most forgiving on nutrient concentrations and ratios.

HOW TO MIX THE NUTRIENTS FOR SEEDLINGS

Target TDS = 1200 + your original water source

Step 1) Measure the TDS of your source water. Using a TDS meter, find out the ppm (which means 
the parts per million of Total Dissolve Solids) in your source water. A lower number is better, indicating 
"cleaner" water.

Step 2) Add 1200 to that number. This gives you a "target" ppm of TDS in your final water.

Step 3) Add dry nutrients in small quantities in a 1:1 ratio of the plant formula and the CalMag 
formula, until the ppm of your water reaches the target ppm. (Make sure you vigorously stir the water 
as you are doing this to fully dissolve the nutrients.)
