Frequently Asked Questions

What role does 14-0-8 Hydroponic Boost play in a feeding program?

It's a foundational formula designed to provide a consistent and well-balanced nutrition base for hydroponic crops, developed specifically to complement Peters Professional 5-11-26 Hydroponic Special. It's meant to be paired with that formula rather than used as a complete standalone feed.

What elements does this formula focus on?

It focuses on vital supplemental nitrogen, potash, calcium, and magnesium, delivering elevated levels of essential elements crucial for the growth of hydroponic plants. Those are the foundational elements a specialty formula on its own might not fully cover.

What does 'free from ballast substances' mean for water compatibility?

The formulation stands out for its purity, free from any ballast substances, making it highly effective for all water types. That purity is what lets it perform consistently regardless of your water source.

What is the M-77 chelating formula used here?

Its exclusive M-77 chelating formula promotes fast and efficient nutrient uptake, the same ICL proprietary chelating technology used in Peters Excel's Black Iron formulation. It's specifically crafted for peat-based cultures including pot plants, bedding plants, and container nursery stock.

What size is this listing?

This listing is a 25lb bag, sized for commercial hydroponic feeding programs pairing a base formula with a specialty finisher. Its basicity of 417.6 lbs. CCE reflects its role as a foundational rather than corrective feed.

How and when should this base formula be used?

Run it as the ongoing base layer of a hydroponic feeding program from early in the crop cycle, applying it alongside Peters Professional 5-11-26 Hydroponic Special rather than swapping between the two. Its M-77 chelating formula is designed for sustained uptake through continuous feeding, not a single correction.
