A guide to irrigation system clogs in cultivation - their causes and effective solutions. Learn how to prevent, identify, and address blockages through best practices in water treatment, nutrient management, irrigation system design, monitoring, maintenance and more. 3 case studies included!

Adjusting pH levels, choosing from common bases and acids for pH adjustment, understanding the sequence of pH adjusters for fertigation systems, and the importance of calibration and accurate pH measurement. 

Water quality issues arise from seasonal changes, temperature shifts, and poor filter maintenance. This article compares effective pathogen risk reduction through disinfection methods like UV light, ozone, peroxides, hypochlorous acid, and chlorine compounds like Calcium Hypochlorite.

Calculate $/ft2/day for each cycle and cultivar, associate the outcome changes with their causes, then do whatever is required to further increase $/ft2/day. If a cheaper input (e.g. fertilizer) decreases price or yield - you can easily lose much more revenue than you saved in OpEx.

How nutrient absorption affects rootzone pH, when to use acids or bases, commonly used acids and bases in hydroponics, and considerations on pH management for cultivators.

The chemistry of pH, acids, and bases and practical implications for cultivation. 

Implementing these lean manufacturing principles gives cultivators the best chance of improving and adapting in an uncertain and competitive production environment.

Optimizing the density of flower sites within the canopy is essential for maximizing yield and quality in a garden. In this article, we will explore how to achieve optimal plant density by balancing plant size, spacing, and veg duration.

Expert advice on 6 key factors to consider when setting up a successful feed EC system for your plant growth cycle: irrigation strategy, substrate dryback and water content targets, light intensity and quality, climate considerations (VPD), and the phase of growth.
