House & Garden Aqua Flakes A
Two-Part Base Nutrient for Recirculating Hydroponic Systems
House & Garden Aqua Flakes A is Part A of the Aqua Flakes A & B two-part base nutrient system, specifically formulated for recirculating hydroponic cultivation.
Designed for use in systems such as deep water culture (DWC), aeroponics, expanded clay, mineral wool, and other recirculating hydroponic setups, Aqua Flakes provides a balanced nutrient foundation throughout the plant growth cycle.
Always use Aqua Flakes A with House & Garden Aqua Flakes B in equal amounts. The two concentrates should never be mixed directly together before being diluted in water.
When properly combined, Aqua Flakes A & B promote stable pH, consistent nutrient uptake, vigorous plant development, and precise control over nutrient strength and EC.

How House & Garden Aqua Flakes A Works
Aqua Flakes A supplies part of the essential mineral nutrition plants need and is designed to work specifically with Aqua Flakes B.
The two components are separated to maintain nutrient stability in concentrated form. Once properly diluted and combined in the reservoir, Parts A and B provide the complete Aqua Flakes base nutrient program.
Never use Aqua Flakes A as a complete base nutrient on its own. Always use equal amounts of Aqua Flakes A and Aqua Flakes B.

How to Mix Aqua Flakes A & B
Proper mixing is especially important when working with concentrated two-part nutrients.
-
Fill the nutrient reservoir with fresh water.
-
Measure the required amount of Aqua Flakes A.
-
Add Aqua Flakes A to the reservoir and mix thoroughly.
