Our plant nutrient products are recognized world-wide as the industry leaders in quality, reliability and innovation. Available throughout North America, Europe, Australia and many parts of Asia and the Middle East - General Hydroponics nutrients are the standard for scientific research, commercial crop production, education, and for hydroponic gardening enthusiasts who insist on only the best. The magic we see using hydroponic cultivation methods is really based upon the nutrients - the nutrients are what make plants grow, the hydroponic systems activate the nutrients by providing water and oxygen to stimulate growth. Most hydroponic growers avoid the use of pesticides and never require herbicides since there are no weeds to contend with, and bugs generally don't seek healthy plants - they tend to go for the weaker ones. Nutrient research is the most dynamic division at General Hydroponics. We are very pleased with our track-record - better crop quality, extraordinary growth rates and yields - and a lot of this achievement can be attributed to the nutrients. It is because of the effort we put into our nutrient products that we've been so successful. We've built such a reputation within the scientific community that our nutrients are now recognized as preferred for scientific tests using plants under U.S. Department of Agriculture and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. NASA scientists refer to our nutrients as "reliable, adaptable and pH buffered," and so our Flora-series is used for space flight experiments. The list of satisfied clients is long and needless to say, a source of great pride to us at General Hydroponics. Different kinds of plants have significantly different nutrient needs. Different stages in a plant's life-cycle also result in changes in the plant's nutrient requirements. We have studied these cycles and worked to perfect nutrient products which will empower the grower to fulfill the crops needs with precision and ease. We call this approach "evolutionary formulation," the nutrient evolves along with the crop. As the crop grows the grower is able to alter the nutrient formulation to meet the crop's changing requirements. We're always looking to the future, always searching for ways to improve our nutrient lines. An area with great potential is human nutrition. By adding appropriate sub-micro elements to the nutrient formulations we enhance the quality of produce in terms of vitamin and mineral content associated with good human nutrition. Tests performed by Plant Research Technologies Laboratory proved that tomatoes and peppers grown with General Hydroponics Flora nutrients were up to three times more nutritious than the soil grown control group - a significant achievement. We continue to search for ways and for ingredients that will improve our nutrient lines. Foliar sprays using seaweed compounds show potential - this is an area where organic ingredients show great promise. Coconut fiber as a rooting media is another example of an organic product with real value to hydroponic growers; with time we'll discover more and more. For now you can be sure that our products represent the state of the art in hydroponic plant nutrients. |
