What Are the Best Fertilizers to Use in Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is seen as a more sustainable option than traditional agriculture, as it utilizes few resources during plant growth.

It's also 90% more efficient in water use, with faster germination times.

To get the ultimate yield from your hydroponics farm, you need to boost your young seedlings with our organic fertilizers and plant boosters.

Here are some great organic fertilizers for hydroponics and seven types of best hydroponic plant boosters.

Boron is a highly effective nutrient boost for plant growth, successful yields, and optimum development.

It's used in small amounts and helps to balance starch and sugar and boost pollination and seed production.

Additionally, boron also assists in cell division and protein formation while supporting plant water and nutrient transportation.

Applying boric acid to your plants is a great way to ensure they're receiving this micronutrient.
