General Product Use
Q: How long should I go between reservoir changes?
For peak performance, change the solution in your hydroponics reservoir every seven days. During this period, only top off with pure water. Avoid adding nutrients to a prepared tank, as this can create an imbalance.
Q: Does your product work with all mediums?
Yes. Cutting Edge Solutions® products are effective in a wide range of mediums, including soil, coco, rockwool, hydroponic systems, and aeroponics. Our formulations are designed for versatility and consistent performance.
Q: How do I know which Cutting Edge Solutions® products to use for my grow?
Check our detailed feeding charts for each growth stage and crop type. These charts provide nutrient combinations and dosages specific to different systems. If you need personalized advice, our team is happy to help.
Q: How do I measure and mix your nutrients accurately?
Use measuring cups, syringes, or pipettes for precise dosing. Always add nutrients to water, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Follow the feeding charts to prevent overfeeding.
Q: How do I adjust nutrient strength for different plant stages?
Our feeding charts provide clear guidelines for nutrient strength based on seedling, vegetative, and bloom stages. Start with a lighter strength for young plants and gradually increase as they mature.
Q: What tools should I consider mixing my fertilizer with?
Silicon Paint Mixer Drill Attachment
Q: Is Cutting Edge Solutions good for use on seedlings and clones?
Yes
For Liquids: We recommend adding 2.5 mL Micro, mixed thoroughly first, and 5 mL Bloom per gallon of RO (or filtered) water. pH should be adjusted between 5.7 and 6.0
For Louder Powder: We recommend adding 1gram Bloom A, mixed thoroughly first, and 2grams Bloom B per gallon of RO (or filtered) water. pH should be adjusted between 5.7 and 6.0
Application Methods
Q: Can I combine multiple products in the same feeding schedule?
Yes. Our products are designed to work synergistically. Follow our feeding charts to combine nutrients effectively and avoid overfeeding.
Q: Can I foliar spray your products?
You can foliar apply Bulleproof Si, Mag Amped, Plant Amp, Uncle John’s Blend, Grow, Louder Powder Grow B, Cal-Mag Amplified, Humtea, and our organic products. Consult the foliar feeding chart for specific usage instructions.
Q: How often should I foliar spray my plants?
Foliar spray once or twice a week during early morning or evening hours. Avoid foliar spraying during intense light to prevent leaf burn.
Q: Can I use your products in a flood-and-drain system?
Absolutely. Our nutrients are highly soluble, making them ideal for flood-and-drain (ebb and flow) systems. Monitor pH and EC levels regularly to maintain balance.
Product Information and Comparisons
Q: What is the difference between Louder Powder and your 3-part liquid line?
Louder Powder is a concentrated, water-soluble powder designed for large-scale operations and ease of storage. The 3-part liquid line offers flexibility for smaller grows and precise adjustments. Both provide high-performance results.
Q: Are your products compatible with other nutrient brands?
Yes, but use caution. Mixing nutrient lines can cause imbalances. We recommend testing compatibility on a small scale before full application.
Q: How do I read your feed charts?
Our feed charts outline nutrient amounts by growth stage. They specify dosages per gallon or liter and provide recommendations for different systems (soil, hydroponics, etc.). Follow them closely for optimal results.
Sustainability and Safety
Q: Are your products safe for edible crops?
Yes. Our products are made from clean, high-quality inputs and are safe for edible crops when used according to guidelines.
Q: What are heavy metals, and why should I care?
Heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic) can accumulate in soil and plants, affecting quality and safety. Our nutrients are formulated to be low in heavy metals, supporting clean and healthy crops.
Q: Do you have environmentally friendly practices?
Yes, we prioritize sustainable sourcing, clean inputs, and efficient production processes to minimize our environmental impact. Our formulations are designed to reduce soil build-up and waste.
Compatibility and Troubleshooting
Q: What should I do if I accidentally mix too much nutrient solution?
Dilute the solution with plain water until it reaches the desired concentration. Test the EC/PPM levels to ensure they are within the appropriate range.
Q: Why is my reservoir solution cloudy?
Cloudiness can indicate bacterial growth or nutrient precipitation. Ensure your reservoir is clean, the water temperature is between 60°F and 68°F, and you have adequate aeration.
Q: How do I fix pH fluctuations in my system?
pH fluctuations may be caused by nutrient imbalances or water quality. Adjust pH gradually using a pH up or down solution and monitor regularly to maintain stability.
