Description
Potassium Sulphate is a hydroponic nutrient also known as sulfate of potash. High in potassium and sulphur, it’s used as a ripener for fruiting and flowering plants. Highly water soluble and extensively used in various forms of hydroponics.
Potassium aids in the fruiting and flowering process, raising the overall quality of produce. It’s also key for moving sugars within the plant, making flowers sweeter as they ripen. Plants use potassium to thicken cell walls, increases mass and overall yield.
Sulphur aids in photosynthesis and stimulates the plants’ metabolism. Ultimately, sulphur increases terpenes and improves the aroma of the final product.
Potassium Sulphate Registered Analysis:
- Potassium (K) – 420g/kg
- Sulphur (S) – 280g/kg
Used in conjunction with Calcium Nitrate, Hydroflow and Monopotassium Phosphate.
Calcium is incredibly important to plants, sometimes called the 4th biggest cation. Calcium makes up cell walls and membranes protecting from pathogens, giving plants their rigidity and resistance to pests and disease. Without it, plants will be weak and unable to support their fruits and flowers. Calcium also aids in nutrient uptake.
Add calcium products to hydroponic solutions first. In solution the calcium ion is positively charged and will readily bond with phosphorous and sulphur. Once bonded, these nutrients are unavailable to plants. By adding calcium and chelators like fulvic acids first will help prevent bonding of these ions.
