Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient solution alone. The medium merely acts as support for the plants and their root systems, and perhaps to hold moisture around the roots. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert. Plants grown using this method produce fruits and flowers with clearer, purer, more transparent scents.

No soil means no weeds or soil borne pests and disease. Plants will maintain optimum nutrient and moisture levels in hydroponics systems, which has several benefits: healthier plants, faster growing plants and plants that will be more disease resistant as they are not stressed by drought.

    how do i reverse the precipitates that form in my snap B. i used it halfway through lang. or advise if there is an expiration date.

    • oleng says:

      If the SNAP B is not contaminated, the grayish solid at the bottom of the container bottle is just a sedimentation of the ‘fillers’ of an ingredient used in its preparation. You will also note that after you noted this ‘precipitation” the solution became clearer. Hence, it is still good to use your Snap B, nothing has diminished.

  8. Eric says:

    I bought a set of SNAP solution a few months back. About halfway through, the B part had a lot of solidified precipitates on the bottom of the bottle.

    Can anyone clarify how to reverse this or at least advise us on the expiration of your nutes?
