General Hydroponics pH Control Kit

Acidity, or pH plays in important role in Hydroponic gardening.   Balancing the pH can make the difference between success or failure in your hydroponic system.   The General Hydroponics pH Control Kit is your answer to this challenge.  Many hydroponic and conventional gardeners seem to over-look this important aspect of gardening.   Fortunately, there are products like the ones featured here to help bring acid levels back into balance for optimal plant growth.

The acidity level is measured on a 14 point scale.   1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline.   Although a Neutral level is right in the middle at the number 7, many plants require a more acid pH level.   Tomatoes, for instance are happy with a pH level of around 6.5, which is just slightly acidic.   Pepper plants are need their pH to be between 6.0 and 6.5.   Many popular herbs are also quite content with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5.

What does the hydroponic gardener do if the pH level is either too high or too low? Products like pH up and pH down that are included in the General Hydroponics pH Control Kit are great to bring things back into balance.   It is important, however, to only adjust the pH after your hydroponic nutrients are added to the water, as the addition of the nutrients will also affect the pH.
