Plagron Hydro A&B is a two-part mineral base nutrient for plants grown in hydroponic systems. The matched Hydro A and Hydro B concentrates provide nutrition throughout both the growing and flowering phases. The formula is designed for hydroponic growing media such as clay pebbles and rockwool.

Use equal amounts of Hydro A and Hydro B with each irrigation. Plagron’s maximum dosage is 2.5 ml of Hydro A plus 2.5 ml of Hydro B per litre of water. Add the two concentrates to water separately and mix thoroughly between additions.

Precision Nutrition for Hydroponic Growing

Take control of your hydroponic feed with Plagron Hydro A & B, a highly concentrated two-part base nutrient designed to support plants through both vegetative growth and flowering.

The complementary A and B formulas provide a complete nutrient profile, including quickly absorbable chelated trace elements. Hydro A delivers calcium to support strong plant development, while Hydro B supplies magnesium to aid chlorophyll production and healthy growth.

Developed for inert substrates and hydroponic cultivation, Hydro A & B gives experienced growers precise control over nutrient strength, EC and pH while providing consistent mineral nutrition from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plagron Hydro A & B is a complete two-part mineral base nutrient for hydroponic growing. Unlike separate grow and bloom feeds, the A&B combination can be used throughout both the vegetative and flowering stages, providing plants with essential macro and micronutrients throughout the cycle.

Plagron recommends a maximum of 2.5 ml of Hydro A per litre of water, together with exactly the same quantity of Hydro B. This gives a mixing ratio of 1:400, making the concentrated formula economical to use.

The two components complement one another to create a complete nutrient solution while keeping certain concentrated mineral elements separate before dilution. Hydro A is particularly rich in calcium, while Hydro B supplies additional magnesium alongside its NPK nutrients. Always add equal quantities of A and B to your water as directed.

Hydro A & B is designed for inert substrates used in hydroponic cultivation. Plagron's 100% HYDRO programme pairs it with Euro Pebbles. While Hydro A & B can work with Plagron Cocos Perlite 70/30, Plagron recommends Cocos A & B as the base nutrient for that particular coco substrate.

Yes. Hydro A & B is designed for growers who want close control over their nutrient solution. Plagron recommends monitoring both EC and pH and advises a pH range of 5.5–6.5 for its 100% HYDRO programme. The appropriate EC will vary according to the plant and its stage of development.

Yes. Plagron's 100% HYDRO schedule combines Hydro A & B with selected Universal additives. Its recommended programme includes Hydro Roots during early development, Power Buds during flowering and Green Sensation later in bloom, allowing you to build a more complete hydroponic feeding schedule around the A&B base nutrients.
