Description
The vegetative half of the two-part feed, formulated for soft water
DualPart Grow Soft Water is the vegetative half of Terra Aquatica's two-part base feed, in the version for soft supplies and reverse osmosis water. It carries more calcium and magnesium than the hard water formula, because soft water brings none of its own.
Key Benefits
- Matched to water under 100 ppm - the calcium and magnesium are in the feed, not in your supply
- Nitrogen weighted for vegetative growth - tight internodes and thick stems rather than soft, stretchy growth
- Two-part simplicity - one ratio to manage instead of three bottles to balance
- Micronutrients included - no separate trace element addition needed
- Pairs with DualPart Bloom - move the ratio across as the plant flowers
Soft water, weak stems and pale new leaves
On RO or a naturally soft supply a general-purpose feed leaves the plant short of calcium and magnesium, and the symptoms - weak roots, pale new growth, floppy stems - look like underfeeding. Raising EC does not fix it because the missing elements are not in the feed. The soft water formula puts them there.
