General Hydroponics pH Up - 1 Qt - Liquid

Raise Low Nutrient pH in Small Steps - 1 Qt Bottle

When a nutrient solution drifts too acidic, plants take up nutrients less reliably. This liquid base raises the pH of the solution, and because you add it a little at a time, you can correct the reading gradually and re-test as you go. It is formulated with potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate.

The 1 Qt bottle suits hobbyists, home gardeners and small indoor setups that adjust reservoirs regularly. Larger operations can stock several bottles for routine correction across multiple reservoirs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Liquid base — mixes into a reservoir and raises a low pH reading.
• Potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate formula — a base designed for adjusting nutrient solutions.
• Small incremental additions — lets you approach your target pH without overshooting.
• 1 Qt bottle — a manageable size for regular reservoir adjustments.

Who Should Use General Hydroponics pH Up

Growers running hydroponic systems who find their nutrient solution testing too acidic. It fits both home gardeners and licensed commercial growers who monitor pH during vegetative growth and flowering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I use pH Up?
A: Add a small amount to your nutrient solution, mix well, and test the pH. Repeat in small steps until you reach the level you want.

Q: Why does nutrient pH drop?
A: Poor quality water, pH-unstable media, and fast plant growth that draws down nutrients quickly can all push a solution more acidic. Regular testing catches the drift early.

Q: What is pH?
A: pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. Most hydroponic crops do best when the nutrient solution is slightly acidic.

Q: Why add it a little at a time?
A: Small additions let you avoid overshooting your target. It is easier to add more than to correct a solution that has gone too high.

Q: Is this the same as a pH down product?
A: No. pH Up is a base that raises pH, while a pH down product is an acid that lowers it. Choose based on which direction your reading needs to move.

Q: Is it safe to handle?
A: Treat it as a caustic base. Wear gloves and eye protection, follow the label directions, and keep it away from children and pets.
