Adding nutrients is part of your weekly maintenance checklist. Here’s how to do it right:

Step-by-Step

  1. Add nutrients only when adding water. Never add nutrients without topping off your tank.

  2. Measure carefully – Use the 1-tablespoon scoops included with your Farmstand.

  3. Mix separately – Dissolve Nutrient A and Nutrient B in separate jars of warm water.

  4. Add to tank – Pour dissolved nutrients into the tank, then top up with cool water.

  5. Follow your dosing guide – Reference your weekly email or the Lettuce Grow app for the exact amount of Nutrients A and B to add.

Dosing Example

  • Example: If you’re starting a 24-port Farmstand in spring, add 4 tbsp of each nutrient at setup, then 1 tbsp of each nutrient weekly after that.

  • Missed a week? Double the dose the following week when adding water.
