Introduction: Proof you can measure
Every grower has seen it before: pH drift, cloudy tanks, clogged emitters, or the challenge of tapering nitrogen without throwing the rest of the feed out of balance. These problems come from how nutrients are formulated. Drip POWDERS were built differently: a four-part system designed for control, clarity, and cost-efficiency that you can verify in your own garden.
Control: Decoupled micros for real steering
Many formulations lock micronutrients in the same bag as nitrogen or calcium. When you taper N late flower, micros fall too, leaving plants vulnerable.
Drip POWDERS separate them:
- A = calcium nitrate, your nitrogen source
- D = a complete micronutrient pack with no nitrogen
This lets you reduce A in the last weeks while keeping D steady. Iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum remain available so plants finish balanced instead of fading unevenly.
Clarity: Nitrate-only N and clean delivery
Not all nitrogen behaves the same. Blends that use ammonium or CAN can acidify the root zone, destabilize pH, and leave residue behind. Drip POWDERS rely on nitrate-only nitrogen, which holds pH steady across coco, soil, and hydro.
No dyes. No fillers. Just crystal-clear solubility built for stock tanks and injector systems. That clarity shows up in stable pH, tanks that stay clean, and emitters that keep flowing.
Cost: Fewer parts, no redundancy
Some programs double-stack calcium, potassium, or sulfur across multiple parts, forcing you to buy overlap. Drip’s four parts are lean and modular:
- A + B = complete bases for veg and flower
- C = strong PK booster
- D = micros only
Each bag has a distinct role. With Calculators, you can calculate true cost per gallon at your targets and see exactly how far each bag goes.
Quick verification: Two grower checks
1. 48-hour stability check
Mix a batch to your feed EC and record pH and EC at 0, 24, and 48 hours. Steady readings confirm a stable solution.
2. Line and emitter check
Run your system for a week, then open a filter cup or emitter. With POWDERS you’ll find clean flow instead of sludge or salt crust.
Implementation: Simple at any scale
- Injectors: Standard 4-pump (A, B, C, D) or a 3-pump option by combining A+D.
- Batch tanks: Straightforward order of operations and agitation.
- Bulk Chart: Full grams-per-gallon and stock concentrate conversions for every part, published for scaling precision.
- Targets: Veg 2.28–2.85 EC, Flower 1.95–3.09 EC. Taper nitrogen by reducing A while keeping D steady.
Results you’ll notice
- pH that holds steady
- Tanks that stay clear
- Emitters that flow clean
- Plants that finish with strong color and consistency
- Lower cost per gallon with fewer parts
FAQs
How do I transition from liquids to POWDERS?
Match your EC targets, test a small batch for stability, then scale up.
Can I blend POWDERS and FLUIDS in the same feed?
No. Each line is complete on its own. If you need to substitute between lines, read here.
What’s the shelf life of stock concentrates?
At published strengths, stocks remain stable and clear for weeks if sealed and agitated before use.
Do POWDERS work in recirculating systems?
Yes. The clean solubility keeps emitters clear in recirculating setups.
Is there a difference between outdoor and indoor use?
No formulation changes are required. Just adjust EC for your environment and genetics.
Closing: Built by growers
Built by growers who put in work. Tested in real rooms, refined by real tissue samples, and trusted because it performs. POWDERS keep it simple, clean, and built for fire.
