Snoops premium Nutrients - Base Grow & Bloom

Grow A&B

To reach their full potential, plants in the growth phase require a balanced intake of cations and anions. SNOOP’S PREMIUM GROW has been specifically formulated to provide your plants with the ideal proportion of nutrients for the growth phase increasing your crop’s ability to grow strong and lush.

Providing your plants with proper nutrition assists them in reaching their full potential. Now your crops can achieve PREMIUM Growth with Snoops’ range of base nutrients.

GROW A&B – THE SCIENCE

During the growing phase a plant needs and will take in equal amounts of anions and cations.

To take in a negative ion a plant has to release an electron (−). This electron when released into water is negative load creating a hydroxide (OH−) particle. This OH− particle will bring the pH up in the root zone/substrate.

The anion mainly responsible for this reaction is NO−3.

To take in a positive ion a plant has to release a proton (+). This proton when released into water will add a positive load creating a H+ particle. This H+ particle will bring the pH down in the root zone/substrate. The cations mainly responsible for this reaction are Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+).

When your using SNOOP’S PREMIUM GROW a plants uptake of the negative and positive ions in the grow phase are balanced. This regulates the internal pH of the substrate as well as the pH levels you choose to feed with from your feed tank and thus keeping the pH in a range which allows the elements to be taken by the plant.

BLOOM A&B

To reach their full potential, flowering plants require more cations than anions. SNOOP’S PREMIUM BLOOM A&B has been specifically formulated to provide your plants with the ideal proportion of nutrients for the bloom phase increasing your crop’s ability to bloom productively. Providing your plants with proper nutrition assists them in reaching their full potential.

Now your crops can achieve a PREMIUM Bloom every time with snoops premium bloom nutrients.

BLOOM A&B – THE SCIENCE

When flowering plants need and will take more Potassium (K+). K+ is a positive ion (cation).

To take in a positive ion a plant has to release a proton (+). This proton when released into water will add a positive load creating a Hydrogen (H+) particle. This H+ particle will bring the pH down in the rootzone/substrate. A flowering plant acidifies the substrate. There is also NH4 in the Bloom recipe to regulate the internal pH of the substrate as the up take of K+ on its own does not release enough H+ particles to keep the pH optimum.

The remaining Nitrogen needed for making amino acids to build the flowers is given in the form of the anion nitrate (NO−3). When a plant uptakes NO−3 an electron (−) is released into water adding a negative load which creates a hydroxide (OH−) particle. This OH− particle will bring the pH up in the root zone/substrate.

Also other cations like Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) are decreased to the right amount to make sure the plant gets the correct level of K+ it needs in order to allow flowers to reach their full potential.

Flowering plants which acidify the substrate too much can create an absorption problem of most nutrient elements. Early autumn colouring in the leaves is often the result.

How to use Snoops premium Base nutrients

Grow A+B

Fill the feed tank with water. Shake bottle well before use. Add 12ml of Grow A per gallon of water (3ml per litre) and mix well. Then add 12ml of Grow B per gallon of water (3ml per litre) and mix well. This will give an approximate EC of 1.7 (1190ppm). Adjust pH to a suitable range as required.

Bloom A+B

Fill the feed tank with water. Shake bottle well before use. Add 14ml of Grow A per gallon of water (3.5ml per litre) and mix well. Then add 14ml of Grow B per gallon of water (3.5ml per litre) and mix well. This will give an approximate EC of 2.0 (1400ppm). Adjust pH as required.

– You must always use an equal amount of A and B.

– Water temperature affects EC/ppm.

– To avoid false readings set water temperature to 68°F / 20°C.

– Store out of direct light.

For guidance only. Precise EC/ppm levels are plant/environment specific and you should experiment to see exactly what works well with your cultivar in your particular environment.
