Not sure if this should go here or in the Nutrient section?
Anyhow since a few are already testing the nutrients from CC and the gang I thought a thread was in order for questions and discussions.
What are the NPK values and ratios in the 2 part formula for veg and also the 2 parts for the bloom formula?
I am assuming the UC Roots formula is a type of sterilizer as opposed to a bacteria type product?
I am also assuming that these nutrients are a complete formula and no additional products or additives would be needed?
Exception: 1ml cal/mag per gallon of RO water - Has anyone needed more than this amount of cal/mag?
Are these nutrients compatible with other popular additives like BB and the likes? Ya know that was going to get asked...LOL!
It is amazing to me how cutting edge these guys are in the hydroponics world!!
UC Roots:
UC ROOTS is a multipurpose root zone optimizer that uses proprietary chemistry to aid in mineral descaling and the removal of potentially harmful biofilms in nutrient reservoirs. By reducing the potential habitat for plant pathogens, UC ROOTS creates a healthy, well balanced nutrient solution, perfect for explosive root growth!
UC ROOTS is suitable for all hydroponically grown plants including those grown in Rockwool, NFT, DWC, RDWC, Ebb-N-Flow and substrate based DTW applications.
Weekly Treatment for Hydroponics System/Reservoir: Add 1-3mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of nutrient solution every 5- 7 days if nutrient temps are below 68°F or every 1-3 days if nutrient temps exceed 76° F.
Periodic and Final Nutrient Flush:
Periodic : Add 5-7mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of water and continue to irrigate as normal. Continue this process for 12-24 hrs. then drain away solution and mix new nutrient.
Final : Add 5-7mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of water and continue to irrigate as normal. Continue this process for the last 3-5 days of fruiting/blooming cycle.
Cloning /Propagation: Add 5-10mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of fresh water at the beginning of the cloning/propagation process. Cuttings may be dipped or fully immersed in 25-30mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of water for 20-30 seconds, then apply cloning gels or rooting powders. Hydroponic
System/Reservoir Cleaning (Without Plants): Add 30mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of water. Circulate for 1-24 hours then drain the system/reservoir. To
Clean Used Media: Soak overnight in 30mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of water. This will clean and help prepare media for reuse and is suitable for clay pebbles, coconut fiber, rock wool , etc. that are not excessively degraded or contaminated.
Thanks to All4FreeDumb for the UC Roots info!
Cheers!
