Is this an additive to enhance my current hydroponic fertilizer solution?

Yes. It improves the environment of your root system, and produces hardier stalks. It basically makes the plant stronger and tougher, and able to carry more weight. It makes the biggest impact during veg as far as growth goes, but you will really see the results during flower in how well built and strong your plant looks. It doesn't seem to impact the plant during the flowering phase of it's life, so I stopped adding it in once the transition stretch is complete. You might have different results in that regard, though. People have their own opinions on it, and their might be some science out there that answers that question, but I haven't seen it. Hope that helps. Yes. It improves the environment of your root system, and produces hardier stalks. It basically makes the plant stronger and tougher, and able to carry more weight.

Yes, Id recommend adding 1/2tsp per gallon to the water first, then add your nutrients. Finally PH correct if needed as it tends to raise the PH a bit. My plants have stronger branches and tougher leaves after adding this to my hydroponic nutrients.

Yes, it is a silica additive. It is not required for hydroponics, nor will it replace your current nurtient solution. I use this product regularly for hardy shoot development and am always very pleased with the results.

I use organic fertilizers, like hydrolyzed fish from Neptunes Harvest, but I have used Miracle grow as well. It does a very nice job.

It is readily water soluble. I don't know about hydroponics. You would likely need to use a weaker dilution than is specified for normal use.

Probably not...purely organic fertilizers tend to be more prone to settling out and clogging when used in hydroponic systems...on the other hand, the formula mix for the fertilizer is extremely pure as hydroponic systems react negatively to any form of pesticide or chlorine.

The addition of SEA-90 to any hydro solution will improve production and nutrient density of the crop grown. Crops will be healthier and more disease and insect resistant. In general, add SEA-90, at a rate of one tsp per gallon of water. Always keep your Ph levels in check as well!

Absolutely not. This product has very poor labeling, but it does state that it contains lots of nitrates. This may be ok for plants, but will counteract the benefit of an incremental water change in an aquarium. Compared to the amount of pH lowering ability of this product, the nitrogen content is the major component. It's more of a fertilizer that may lower your pH than acid with nitrogen in it. In my 155 gallon aquaponics system, adding one large-side scoop of this powder every other day dropped my pH from 8 to 7.8 (for a short amount of time) while forcing my nitrite and nitrate readings so high that my test kit couldn't even read them. It has caused a white crust to form on my grow media that kills any plant leaf that touches it (but doesn't taste like salt). If you feel you absolutely can't use your tap water in an aquarium ( and a lot of fish are ok with a pH of 8, but it's bad for plants), then purchase water or catch rain water before you resort to dumping this fertilizer on your fish.

It is not an n-p-k fertilizer, it is trace elements and micro nutrients. It work great with pretty much all vegetables, and it really seemed to bring my pepper plants back to life, I'm sure it would enhance your eggplant and tomatoes as well! Hope that's helps.

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

Hey there Holly, This is pure kelp meal with no other additives and works great to side-dress or even mixed in with the soil for an organic nitrogen supplement ;) Thanks for your question Andrew earthworkshealth.com Sales Manager/Customer Relations 8002285836

Yes, it's a bloom specializer, and a good one. I use it in addition to my normal fertilizer, in season

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

I am sorry to tell you that I don't know anything about aluminum sulfate as a fertilizer. I got it to stop bleeding. It works real good for that.

This is different than Eco-complete. This is a substrate additive who's purpose is to retain nutrients and fertilizers if added. Where Eco-complete is an all in one substrate. I would layer this and Eco-complete to get an even better substrate.

No. I do not know of any 100% organic hydroponic nutrient solutions. There may be some out there, but I don't know. I do try to use organically when I can, but I worry much more about non organic pesticides than non organis fertilizer. This is a good product. Check out MHP gardener on YouTube. He has some excellent videos and uses this stuff for all his hydroponics.

I never have used it for that plant, but I would think it would be a wonderful fertilizer for any plant. I use it for everything else. It's my favorite (besides the horse manure of course).

No absolutely not. The instruction specifically say not to add water soluble fertilizer. The reason why is simple, if WS fertilizer is added to the water when the system is taken out of use there will be a small amount of residual water left in the tubing and in the reservoir itself. When this residual water evaporates it will leave tiny microscopic crystals of the fertilizer in both. As times goes by and this process is repeated the build up will slowly get worse eventually clogging the system. Also, any if there are any metallic part that come in contact with the WS fertilizer there is a potential for corrosion as fertilizer chemicals can be very corrosive to some metals.

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.
