High EC vs Reg EC – What to choose?

Choosing the right EC is critical to maximizing your yields and the optimal level depends entirely on your specific set-up and practices, not a generic chart. Factors like substrate volume, VPD consistency, and CO2 levels all determine whether a higher or lower EC feeding strategy will help your crop thrive or lead to nutrient lockout.

Dry Weight vs Liquid Concentrate – What does it mean?

We have two different protocol versions for feeding the Cultivator Series (CS2), allowing you to choose the method best suited for your operation. You can follow our charts with dry weight measurements (g / Gal or g / L), or utilize our specialized protocols for liquid concentrate dosing (mL / Gal or mL / L), which offers convenience and integration into automated systems. We give you the choice to maximize your efficiency and results.

Hitting the Phase-Specific Shift

Our CS2 Prime & Push system is designed to shift cation/anion ratios perfectly from veg to generative bloom. Always follow the chart transitions closely.

Zero-Nitrogen Finish

Remember that OVR (Overdrive 2.0) contains zero nitrogen. Completely drop your CS2 Prime in the final two weeks of bloom as indicated on the chart to ensure a flawless white ash and clean burn.

Silica Integration

If using RSA (Rapid Silicic Acid), always add it to your reservoir first and mix thoroughly before adding your base nutrients or other biostimulants.

Clean Irrigation

The 8th Generation line utilizes micronized, fast-dissolvability inputs to ensure your fertigation lines and drip emitters stay clog-free from veg through harvest.

Have a quick question?

Every commercial facility is different. If you need help dialing in your EC, integrating our biostimulants (like SB1 or BFX) into your existing setup, or transitioning from a competitor's salt line, our Advanced Commercial Team (ACT) is here to help.
