Here's a step-by-step guide to adding plant food and caring for your Counterstand:
1. Starting Fresh:
- Add Water: Fill the Counterstand with purified water up to ½ inch below the "FILL LINE."
- Add Plant Food: Add 4 half-full droppers of plant food and stir gently to mix.
- Plant Your Seedling: Insert the water wick and your new seedling into the glass cup. Make sure the wick is wedged between the seedling and the cup. Place the cup into the Counterstand. It’s okay if the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the cup—just be sure it stays below the “FILL LINE.”
2. Refilling:
- When the water level drops to about 1 inch from the bottom, refill with purified water up to just below the “REFILL LINE.”
- Add approximately 2 half-full droppers of plant food.
3. Cleaning:
- Every 5–6 weeks and after a full harvest, pour out the water and rinse, refill it with fresh water and add plant food as suggested in the step 1. The Counterstand is dishwasher safe or can be cleaned by hand.
