Why use hydroponic fertilizers or nutrients?

For most beginners we recommend Fox Farm Liquid Nutrient Trio Soil Formula. Why put yourself through the stress of trial and error of mixing your own nutrient solution when there are tried and tested fertilizers on the market?

Three decades ago when hydroponic systems were still in their infancy, people were mixing their own nutrient solutions based on what they thought was a good mix for hydroponics systems.

Hydroponic fertilizers at the very minimum, provide a balanced mix of nutrients for plants so that they can reach maturity easily in a non-soil environment.

Just measure some fertilizer, add them to the water and watch how our vertical garden tower takes care of the rest for you.
