Introduction: Precision for Maximum Growth

At Drip Hydro, we believe successful cannabis cultivation starts with precision and customization. Our powdered nutrient line provides growers with complete control over their feeding regimen. Let’s explore how the recommended concentrations of nutrients align with plant needs at each growth stage and how our POWDERS provide unparalleled flexibility.

Nutrient Concentrations and Their Roles

Our nutrient formulas are designed to meet specific plant demands during vegetative and flowering stages. Here’s a breakdown of our powdered products and their unique contributions:

Powder A

NPK Ratio: 15-0-0
Role: Primary source of nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca), essential for vegetative growth, strong stems, and chlorophyll production.
Recommended Usage: 4 g/gal across all weeks in both vegetative and flowering stages, reducing to 2 g/gal during the final stage.

Powder B

NPK Ratio: 0-7-25
Role: Supplies phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for root development, flowering, and fruiting, along with magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) for nutrient absorption and energy transfer.
Recommended Usage: 4 g/gal during vegetative and early flowering stages, tapering to 3 g/gal in late flowering.

Powder C

NPK Ratio: 0-32-32
Role: Phosphorus and potassium booster for late flowering stages to maximize bud density, resin production, and yield.
Recommended Usage: 1 g/gal during early flowering (Weeks 1–3), increased to 2 g/gal from Week 4 onward.

Powder D

Micronutrient Blend: Contains essential elements like iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and boron (B).
Role: Supports photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and overall plant health.
Recommended Usage: 0.2 g/gal throughout the growth cycle, reduced to 0.1 g/gal during the final stage.

Feeding Recommendations for Each Growth Stage

Vegetative Stage (Weeks 1–4)

During the vegetative phase, plants focus on establishing a strong foundation. Their primary needs include:

• Nitrogen (N): Supports rapid cell division, robust stem development, and chlorophyll production.
• Calcium (Ca): Critical for cell wall development and structural integrity.
• Phosphorus (P): Facilitates root development and nutrient uptake.
• Micronutrients: Enhance enzyme activity and metabolic processes.

Recommended Veg Dilutions:

• Powder A: 4 g/gal
• Powder B: 4 g/gal
• Powder D: 0.2 g/gal

Flowering Stage (Weeks 1–7)

During flowering, plants shift their energy toward bud production. Nutritional needs evolve to support these processes:

• Phosphorus (P): Powers flower formation, energy transfer, and cellular growth.
• Potassium (K): Enhances water and nutrient movement, boosts disease resistance, and supports resinous bud development.
• Micronutrients: Critical for photosynthesis, terpene production, and overall bud quality.

Flowering Stage Feeding Adjustments:

• Powder A: Maintain 4 g/gal early on, reducing to 2 g/gal in the final stage.
• Powder B: Taper from 4 g/gal to 3 g/gal to align with the plant’s decreasing energy needs.
• Powder C: Increase from 1 g/gal to 2 g/gal to maximize phosphorus and potassium availability.
• Powder D: Maintain 0.2 g/gal, reducing to 0.1 g/gal during the final stage.

Taper Stage (Week 8)

This final stage focuses on completing bud maturation and maximizing resin and terpene development.

Taper Stage Feeding Adjustments:

• Powder A: Reduce to 2 g/gal to limit nitrogen and preserve flower quality.
• Powder B: Maintain at 3 g/gal for balanced phosphorus and potassium support.
• Powder C: Maintain 2 g/gal to sustain resin and terpene production.
• Powder D: Reduce to 0.1 g/gal to prevent micronutrient accumulation.

The Power of Customization

One of the standout features of our POWDERS is their ability to be tailored for any growing environment or strain. With our customizable solutions, you can:

• Reduce Nitrogen in Late Flower: Lower Powder A while maintaining micronutrient levels with Powder D.
• Boost Flower Density: Increase Powder C in mid-to-late flowering to promote resin and terpene production.
• Adjust for Specific Mediums: Modify feeding for hydroponic, soil, or coco mediums.
• Optimize for Environmental Conditions: Fine-tune nutrients based on temperature, humidity, or light changes.

Every grower’s setup is unique. With Drip Hydro POWDERS, you’re not confined to a one-size-fits-all approach. Our powders offer:

• Flexibility: Adjust each nutrient to meet your plants’ exact needs.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Use only what you need, reducing waste.
• Stability: Experience consistent results with our stable formulations.
