Step-by-Step
-
Add nutrients only when adding water. Never add nutrients without topping off your tank. If your water level is near full, you can wait to add nutrients until the level is lower. The goal should be roughly .3 Tbsp of A & B per gallon of water added.
-
Measure carefully – Use the 1-tablespoon scoops included with your Farmstand.
-
Mix separately – Dissolve Nutrient A and Nutrient B in separate jars of water.
-
Add to tank – Pour dissolved nutrients into the tank, then top up with cool water.
-
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.
