Importance Of Ph In Hydroponics

It stands for the power of Hydrogen. The importance of knowing the pH of your reservoir: When the pH of the nutrient solution is out of balance (either too acidic or alkaline), your crops will not be able to uptake the nutrients in the water, basically starving them, even though it is available to them. Solution: use your pH testers to determine the pH level, then add pH adjusters called "pH up" or "pH down" to amend your nutrient solution to the optimal pH range.
