Formulated as a base solution, it relies on potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate to nudge low pH toward a healthier range without a drastic shift. The quart bottle provides a practical, easy-to-dispense option for routine hydroponics maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn hydroponic systems, pH can drift, influencing nutrient availability. This product is intended to subtly increase pH when readings fall below optimal levels, helping you maintain a steady environment for plant uptake. The buffering effect supports consistency across feeds and cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase formulation uses potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate to raise pH with precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to restore pH to the proper level when readings are too low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes pH stability over time to reduce fluctuations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse small amounts at a time to avoid overshoots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with a modest dose and test the reservoir after each addition.
