PETERS PROFESSIONAL HYDROPONIC SPECIAL FERTILIZER 5-11-26 - 25lb

Peters Professional Hydroponic Special Fertilizer 5-11-26 (25lb) is a premium-grade hydroponic fertilizer formulated to meet the nutritional needs of various hydroponic crops, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. Designed exclusively for commercial hydroponic culture, this classic formula provides a balanced nutrient profile with essential trace elements to support robust plant growth and high yields.

Key Features:

• Optimal Nutrient Balance: The 5-11-26 NPK ratio provides a balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, essential for plant development.
• Chelated Trace Elements: Includes chelated forms of iron, manganese, zinc, and copper to ensure maximum nutrient availability and uptake by plants.
• Water-Soluble: Completely dissolves in water, making it easy to apply through hydroponic systems and ensuring consistent nutrient delivery.
• Buffered Formula: Helps maintain an acceptable working solution pH, making it effective for all water types and ensuring stable nutrient availability.
• Versatile Application: This can be paired with calcium nitrate in the A stock tank to create a complete nutrient solution, easily adjustable to meet unique plant needs.

Specifications:

• Nutrient Composition:
  • Total Nitrogen (N): 5% (5.0% Nitrate Nitrogen)
  • Available Phosphate (P2O5): 11%
  • Soluble Potash (K2O): 26%
  • Magnesium (Mg): 6% (6.0% Water-Soluble Magnesium)
  • Sulfur (S): 8% (8.0% Combined Sulfur)
  • Boron (B): 0.05%
  • Copper (Cu): 0.015% (0.015% Chelated Copper)
  • Iron (Fe): 0.3% (0.3% Chelated Iron)
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.05% (0.05% Chelated Manganese)
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 0.01%
  • Zinc (Zn): 0.015% (0.015% Chelated Zinc)

Application Instructions:

• Initial Dissolution: Dissolve 130 ounces (8 pounds 2 ounces) of this fertilizer in 1,000 gallons of water to achieve the desired nutrient concentrations.
• Magnesium Adjustment: Test your water to determine if additional magnesium is required. For most crops, 50 to 75 ppm of magnesium in the final solution is desirable. If necessary, dissolve Epsom salts (one ounce per 100 gallons) to achieve the appropriate magnesium levels.
• Supplementing Nitrogen and Calcium: To achieve the required concentrations of nitrogen and calcium, dissolve 86 ounces of calcium nitrate in the same 1,000 gallons of water. This will result in a total nutrient concentration of 150 ppm nitrogen (N) and 116 ppm calcium (Ca).

Benefits:

• Increased Yield: Provides a balanced nutrient supply to support vigorous plant growth and higher yields.
• Easy to Use: The water-soluble formula ensures easy mixing and application in hydroponic systems.
• Flexible Formulation: Easily modified to meet the specific needs of different crops and growing conditions.
