These tailored options improve plant health, maximise nutrient efficiency, and prevent common water-related issues.Is there a hydro version of Mills Basis A & B?
No, Mills Basis A & B does not have a specific "hydro" version because its formulation works well across all growing methods, including hydroponics, soil, and coco. Its balanced nutrient profile is designed for versatility, with the hard and soft water options ensuring optimal performance in different water conditions, making a separate hydro version unnecessary.What is the ideal pH range for Mills Basis A & B?
The ideal pH range varies depending on the growing medium. For hydroponics and coco coir, aim for a pH between 5.8 and 6.5. For soil, a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 is generally recommended.Why do I need to add Basis A before Basis B?
Adding A before B avoids the concentrates reacting strongly with one another. This allows the nutrients to properly dilute and mix into the water, ensuring they are available for plant uptake.SKU: 1295Free delivery on orders over £60*
