The formulation varies depending on the specific plants being grown and their growth stage. Typically, a nutrient solution consists of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, etc.).
The nutrient solution's composition is usually represented in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/L). Different hydroponic systems may require adjustments to the nutrient concentration.
common nutrient solution for general plant growth may have the following composition:
- Nitrogen (N): 100-200 ppm
- Phosphorus (P): 50-100 ppm
- Potassium (K): 150-300 ppm
- Calcium (Ca): 100-200 ppm
- Magnesium (Mg): 50-100 ppm
- Sulfur (S): 50-100 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 2-10 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 0.1-0.5 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 0.5-5 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 0.1-0.5 ppm
- Boron (B): 0.1-1 ppm
- Molybdenum (Mo): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Remember, the exact nutrient formulation may differ based on plant species, growth stage, and environmental conditions. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the nutrient solution are essential to ensure optimal plant health and growth in a hydroponic system.
