Key Features:
Two-Part System: The Aqua Flakes system consists of two bottles, making it easy to provide precisely what your plants need in both the vegetative and flowering stages.
Tailored Nutrition: This nutrient kit is formulated to match the specific demands of hydroponically grown plants, ensuring they receive an optimal balance of macronutrients and micronutrients.
Exceptional Solubility: The Aqua Flakes nutrients are highly soluble, promoting efficient uptake and reducing the risk of nutrient imbalances or blockages within your hydroponic system.
Plant Health: This nutrient combination supports vigorous plant growth, strengthens plants' natural defenses, and enhances their resilience to stressors.
Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of plants, including flowers, herbs, and vegetables, the Aqua Flakes Starter Kit is a versatile choice for hydroponic gardeners.
pH Control: This nutrient system helps maintain an optimal pH range in your hydroponic solution, ensuring that nutrients are readily available for absorption by your plants.
Benefits of Using House & Garden Aqua Flakes Starter Kit:
Simplified Feeding: With just two bottles, you can effortlessly maintain a consistent nutrient program for your hydroponic garden, minimizing the risk of nutrient errors.
Robust Growth: The balanced nutrient formula promotes vigorous vegetative growth, robust flowering, and impressive fruit and flower development.
Enhanced Yields: Count on substantial yields thanks to the well-calibrated nutrient composition that caters to your plants' nutritional needs at every stage of their growth cycle.
Easy Maintenance: The high solubility of this formula reduces the risk of clogs in your hydroponic system, making maintenance a breeze.
Stress Resilience: Your plants are better equipped to withstand environmental stresses, ensuring they thrive even under suboptimal conditions.
Improved Nutrient Uptake: pH control in this nutrient system guarantees that your plants can effectively absorb nutrients, leading to overall better plant health.
Applications:
Mixing: Follow the instructions on the bottles to create your nutrient solution. Begin with Aqua Flakes A, then add Aqua Flakes B, ensuring thorough mixing.
Feeding Schedule: Start using Aqua Flakes A and B as soon as your plants have established their first true leaves. Continue to use them throughout the vegetative and flowering stages, adjusting the nutrient concentration as required for each stage.
Unleash the potential of your hydroponic garden with the House & Garden Aqua Flakes Starter Kit. It provides the foundation for hydroponic success, offering simplified feeding, balanced nutrition, and plant health support, leading to lush, vibrant, and productive plants. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hydroponic gardener, this nutrient system is an essential tool in your gardening arsenal.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.
What types of plants grow best hydroponically?
Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.
Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?
Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.
What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?
Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.
What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?
pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.
How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?
The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
