What Nutrients Will I Need for my Hydroponic Garden?

Some of the major nutrients that plants need are listed as follows:

Nitrogen: This nutrient helps promote the growth of new leaves on plants.

Phosphorous: Roots of plants mostly need this material to help support the plant. In addition, this material helps aid the plant blooming process.

Potassium: This mineral helps build a plants immune system. In addition, Potassium also helps a plant to grow in extreme cold and heat.

Sulfur: This substance aids in giving leaves a rich dark green color.

Calcium: This nutrient along with phosphorous helps the roots of plants to grow. It also aids in helping new shoots of plants to grow as well.

Magnesium: This is what helps produce the chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants its green color and helps the plant to absorb sunlight in order to make food.

When you are hydroponic vegetable gardening, you will need to monitor your nutrient level to make sure you don’t ‘burn out’ the plant
