Drip Hydro Base A | 5-0-2

Building a plant's full life cycle nutrition around scattered single-purpose products makes it easy to under- or over-feed key elements at the wrong stage. Drip Hydro Base A 5-0-2 removes that guesswork as part one of a simple, highly-concentrated two-part base formula, designed to be used in conjunction with Drip Hydro Base B throughout both the vegetative and flowering stages of any fruit or flower-producing plant. For cultivators operating at a larger scale who prefer dry nutrients, Drip Hydro Powder A provides a comparable high-performance nutritional profile in a soluble format.

Base A is formulated with a 5-0-2 N-P-K, where the higher nitrogen concentration plays a key role in coloring and chlorophyll production, driving strong leaf development, while the stronger potassium concentration supports overall plant health and vigor — strengthening disease resistance, assisting water and nutrient movement, and helping the plant perform its other biological functions optimally. Base A also delivers magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc, formulated with a strong focus on bio-availability so plants receive the proper macro and micronutrients they need across their entire life cycle.

The iron in Base A comes from two superior chelates — Iron EDDHA, an environmentally friendly form of iron, and Iron DTPA — both of which perform across a wider pH range and stay in chelated form in the watering solution. Drip Hydro chose these over Iron EDTA after finding fewer particulates and less pH swing with EDDHA and DTPA. Dilute 9-15 mL (0.3-0.5 fl. oz) per 4 L (1 gallon) of water throughout the life cycle of any fruit or flower producing plant to help maximize your plants' genetic potential. To maintain the ideal environment for nutrient uptake, we recommend using Drip Hydro pH Down or Drip Hydro pH Up to stabilize your reservoir levels.
