TA pH up 500ml

This new pH control concept allows you to adjust the pH, especially for fast growing plants. As growers, we always have a wish list that would make our lives easier. At the very top of the list is a pH buffer that would work so well that we could go on vacation for two weeks and the pH of the nutrient solution would still be the same when we returned.

The problem is that this can only be achieved when the nutrition is poor, when there isn't much activity going on in the solution, and when your plants are growing at an average rate. If the growth is to be fast and there is removal of a large amount of ions and all the complex interactions in the solution, such stability is unthinkable.

But today we are no longer at a loss. Today we can achieve satisfactory stability and at the same time other advantages. A solution with good pH control is one where you adjust the pH only once, at system startup. We do not claim that we have achieved exactly this, and not in every situation and with every nutrient. But when it comes to pH control that we have tried in our greenhouses using pH Down products in combination with TriPart Series nutrition and Silicate Powder, plants have been growing for several weeks without the need for pH adjustment.

In some smaller systems the pH drops slightly, but after adding a small amount of pH Up it will rise again to the desired level. In other cases, the pH remains very close to the almost ideal value of 6.0 . The ideal pH value is actually the most important thing. A high pH level promotes the uptake of cations, while a low pH level promotes the uptake of anions. In other words, compromises must be made when choosing the pH. A safe state with values of 5.5 to 6.5 is usually recommended. We recommend sticking to the lower value, i.e. from 5.5 to 6.2. pH Up contains silicate.

As for increasing the pH value of the solution, this will be especially useful for growers who use osmosis or demineralized water. This new version contains silicate to improve the plant's environment. Silicate deficiency can be a limiting factor in hydroponics. And that's because it's poorly soluble, meaning it's hard to put enough of it into the solution. That's why we add it to our products whenever possible.
