Why You Need House & Garden Aqua Flakes A&B
Recirculating hydroponic systems are all about precision — and House & Garden Aqua Flakes is built to deliver exactly that. It provides the perfect balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and essential trace elements to fuel your plants through every stage of development. Its clean, low-salt formulation prevents nutrient lockout and salt buildup, keeping systems running smoothly while promoting lush foliage, strong root growth, and explosive flower formation.
Unlike one-size-fits-all nutrients, Aqua Flakes has been specifically designed for hydroponic systems where nutrients are continuously recycled. This means fewer fluctuations in pH and EC levels, improved nutrient stability, and consistently better results.
How HOUSE & GARDEN Aqua Flakes A&B Works
Aqua Flakes combines the precision of Dutch hydroponic science with high-quality mineral inputs to deliver pure, consistent performance. Part A provides nitrogen, calcium, and essential trace elements that support strong vegetative growth and cell structure, while Part B supplies phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur — vital for flowering, bud development, and overall plant metabolism.
Together, they form a complete nutritional profile that supports vigorous growth during veg and powerful flower production during bloom. The formula’s balanced ionic ratios ensure that nutrients remain soluble and available to plants even in continuously circulating solutions.
How to Use
- Prepare your water: Fill your recirculating system reservoir with clean water (preferably filtered or RO).
- Add nutrients: Add equal parts of Part A and Part B separately, stirring thoroughly between each addition.
- Measure and adjust: Use an EC/PPM meter (such as the Bluelab Truncheon) to check nutrient strength and adjust to the target EC of 1.2–2.0 depending on plant stage and variety.
- pH balancing: Adjust pH to between 5.5 and 6.2 (optimal 5.8) using a reliable meter for precision control.
- Add boosters: Mix in compatible House & Garden additives such as Roots Excelurator Silver, Bud-XL, or Top Booster.
- Feed your plants: Circulate the solution through your system, monitoring EC and pH regularly for stability.
