Healthy plants start with healthy roots and nutrient lockout is one of the most common (and misunderstood) threats to plant health.
🔒 What is nutrient lockout?
It happens when your plants can’t absorb the nutrients they need, even if those nutrients are present in your solution. The culprit? Often, it’s incorrect pH or EC levels.
📉 If your pH is too high or low, essential nutrients become chemically unavailable to the plant.
⚡ If your EC is too high, salts can build up and prevent nutrient uptake.
🌡️ And don’t forget temperature, roots are fussy and work best within the right range!
✅ Want to keep your plants thriving?
Keep your pH, EC, and root zone temperature in the right zone. That’s the key to preventing nutrient lockout and supporting strong, healthy growth.
