We have consulted in one way or another for over a million square feet of canopy. 

We have designed huge facilities and we have rescued the smallest of facilities. Every single consult gets the same setup. We have tested method after method and know what works every time.

It is very simple. 

1) Automate your watering. Hand feeding is not consistent. 

2) Use 2 gallon pots with coco/perlite. Coco is forgiving and does not need a large root base to produce big yields. We like 12 plants per 16 square feet.

3) Feed DAILY at 2.3-2.5 EC (1150-1250 ppm @ 500 scale) with 20-25% runoff. This gives the plants what they need every day, keeps buildup and ph in check, and brings oxygen to the roots.

4) Use .2ml per gallon regular, unscented Clorox bleach twice a week.

5) Give your plants a proper environment. Check out our charts on the documents page and use Cropsaltvpd.com to make sure your environment is proper.

6) Monitor your runoff. We feed at 6.2 and aim for our runoff to come out 6.0-6.1 ph. If you don't monitor your rootzone ph you are growing blind.

We recommend using the 4.6/3.1 strength Veg A/B from clone to day 21 of flower. Use the 5.1/2.6 strength for Bloom A/B day 22 to flush. Cake is run by itself at 3 grams per gallon for the final 14 days before chop. Using these strengths from start to finish yields amazing results every time. The highlighted row on the label is roughly 1.5 EC or 750 ppm.

It is impossible to take the grower out of the equation.

The first three weeks of bloom your plants are transitioning into flower. There are many changes happening within the plant. The plant still needs large amounts of nitrogen in this stage. Proper nitrogen ratios in the first three weeks of bloom also help to reduce stretch and tighten node spacing.

Cropsalt is complete as-is and does not need anything. Actually, using additives will affect the nutrient ratios and can be counter-productive.

The only thing we use is Runclean as our descaler and bleach (.2ml per gallon) as our source of ORP.

We run tap. We do this so no ph up is needed after mixing. Running all ro or all tap is no problem. We highly recommend running enough tap with your ro to prevent the need for ph up. 

Absolutely. Cropsalt will work with any style grow. We have customers running in many different substrates with all types of nutrient delivery methods. We recommend coco due to its ease of use and forgiving nature.

For all mediums follow the feed chart.

For soil and peat we recommend a feed/feed/water schedule to mitigate buildup.

Outdoor in soil we feed/water/feed.

Nothing!

We don’t add any dyes to our products. 

Clean is the name of the game. 

No more funky tanks to scrub on the daily.

Cropsalt's line of products are like no other. Our ratios and built-in supporting additives are designed to out-perform anything on the market. Cropsalt strives to deliver the best product at the best price. We encourage you to try our line for yourself and see the difference. We welcome side-by-side trials. At the end of the day, we are growers, not marketers. We succeed when you succeed.

Calcium is key. Cropsalt is the only line with multiple forms of Calcium.

No. Cropsalt is complete and the use of calcium and magnesium supplements will alter the ratios plants need. If your plants are showing signs of calcium or magnesium deficiency, go back to the basics. First, make sure your environmental parameters are in check. Second, check your runoff. Your runoff will tell you a lot of information. If the ph or ppm of your runoff is drastically different from what you are feeding, run a decent strength feed through your root base as a flush until your runoff is correct. Most issues are caused by bad environment, low nutrient strength, or too little runoff causing ph swings and mineral buildup.

YES. 100%. Cropsalt was designed to outperform in every aspect. We source the purest raw minerals to formulate our products. You can rest assured that our products will produce clean, beautiful, abundant harvests.

Yes! Any doser system or fertigation skid that uses a stock tank or concentrated solution can be used with Cropsalt. Check out our Grow Documents page for stock tank charts.

Absolutely.

We ran current culture systems for years.

Use the Cropsalt feed chart and swap your nutrient solution once a week.

We recomend running .2ml per gallon (2 tenths of an ml) Clorox bleach to keep everything sterile.

Either way works!

We prefer the sterile method as it is consistent and removes variables from the equation. We don't like any organics in our feed lines and reserviors.

We run .2ml per gallon (2 tenths of an ml) regular Clorox bleach. We run this once or twice a week in all inert mediums. 

For DWC and recirculating systems bleach is added when the rez is mixed and again every 4 days until next changeout.

Sure! There are plenty of growers running Cropsalt and Autopots.

The main issue with Autopot systems is buildup. You have to either top feed or run water through your system on a regular basis to prevent buildup. Autopot would have the best answers on how to prevent buildup and ph issues in their systems.

We suggest applying at 40 grams per gallon in anything under 10 gallons. Pot sizes from 10-20 gallons apply at 30 grams per gallon. Containers above 20 gallons apply at 25 grams per gallon. Container plants with runoff will need a heavier application rate and/or a second application.

Cropsalt Granular can be applied 3 ways:

• By incorporating (mixing) the granular into your substrate before planting (best method)

• As a subdress by burying the granular a couple inches from the top of the substrate surface at a rate of 40 grams per gallon of substrate.

• As a topdress by applying the granular on top of the substrate. (must be watering by hose, sprinkler, or spray emitter so water will pass over the fertilizer and down into the rootzone). Using this method you will usually need to reapply.

Granular CRUSHES with soil and in-ground applications.

Cropsalt Granular is an awesome nutrient to use with Autopots, soil, or promix. 

When planting in fields/rows use at 20 lbs per 1000 square feet.

These rates are a great starting point.

Some growers like to use our solubles once a week in addition to the granular.

If your plants are feeding heavy and look like they need more you can always top-dress additional Granular at any time.

Yes! Check out our Grow Documents page for cloning guides.

In aerocloners:

Run the same Bloom A/B ratio listed on the clone documents and add .2ml per gallon of bleach to your system when you mix it and again every 4 days after. Dip cuts in clonex gel and allow to sit in the collars absorbing the rooting hormones for 10 minutes before turning on the sprayers. 

Run your timer  1 minute on, 6 minutes off.

Runclean reacts with carbonates and bicarbonates to prevent scale and fallout. RunClean does not increase EC or ORP and is safe with microbes. You will see the white scale dissapear from your tanks, lines, and pots. 

No more clogs.

You can pop your seeds and feed seedlings using the top ratio on the Veg A/B labels. 1.53 Grams Veg A / 1.03 Grams Veg B per gallon. Once the second set of leaves appear you can start increasing strength quickly from there.

Yes.

Cake is used for the final 2-3 weeks before harvest. 

If your flowering cycle is 8 weeks you would run cake only during the eighth week.

If your flowering cycle is 9 weeks you would run cake only during weeks 8 and 9.

If your flowering cycle is 10 weeks you would run cake only during weeks 8, 9, and 10.

We recommend flushing with tons of plain water on the first day of flush to strip the rootzone of as much remaining nutrients as possible and then feed Cake until harvest.

For autos you pop your seeds and feed seedlings using the top ratio on the Veg A/B labels. 1.53 Grams Veg A / 1.03 Grams Veg B per gallon. Once the second set of leaves appear you can start increasing strength quickly from there until you get to the feed chart strength.

Feed the 4.6/3.1 grams per gallon Veg A/B until you get pinky-nail sized flowers.

Switch to the 5.1/2.6 grams per gallon Bloom A/B.

Two weeks prior to chop switch to 3 grams per gallon Cake.
