Nutrients and fertilizers are critical to healthy plant growth, especially in hydroponic gardening. AHL carries a wide range of nutrients and fertilizers to suit almost any gardening application! The products below are synthetic, meaning that the mineral elements are composed of food-grade chemicals. They are designed for hydroponics, which means they contain not only the major and minor elements necessary for plant growth, but also the trace elements and micronutrients that are often lacking in mass market plant foods. These nutrients also work great in soil! (The three numbers after each nutrient refer to the percentages of the three major elements: Nitrogen - Phosphorus - Potassium, often shortened to N-P-K).
