Ph UP

¿What's pH UP and why is it good for?

PH UP by Emerald Harvest is a liquid pH riser formuled to alkalize the nutrient solution. This water pH increaser gets to rise the pH of nutrient solution without interacting with other nutrients nor harming the rhizosphere

Ph Up is perfect to adjust the pH of water , in case of being necessary, once you added all nutrients and boosters if it got too low. It is specially important to check pH after adding all other products when growing in coco, or in hdyroponics, as these growing systems are specially critical.

The correction of nutrient solution's pH not only improves growth ratio and flowering performance, but it also helps avoiding lack of nutrients and increases nutrient uptake, turning into higher yields.

Add pH UP Emerald Harvest: Dose and how to use it

Ph Up is a concentrated solution to increase pH of water to optimal values for each growing stage. In case of cannabis, the optimal pH range of nutrient solution is between 5,8 and 6,2. Depending on the stage the plants are (growing or flowering) we should adjust the values closer to 5,8 or closer to 6,2.

The process to use the pH UP is easy, once you added all products to your nutrient solution you should check the pH to know if and how much has to be the pH modified to balance it and turn it optimal.

About the dose of PH UP needed to rise the pH, it is important for you to understand that more salty the nutrient solution is more pH UP will be needed to rise the Ph. So, lower the amount of nutrients dissolved in water less Ph UP will be needed to rise the pH of the nutrient solution.

Raise the PH of water with PH UP step by step

PH UP is a product extremelly corrosive, so NEVER touch the liquid with your fingers. It should never be mixed with PH Down with out dilluting them in water.

Once all nutrients and boosters of your receipe are added to water check the pH of the nutrient solution. If the pH is lower than 5,8 then you should some drops of PH Up and stir the solution.

After 30 seconds check again the pH of the solution. If the pH persists under optimal value then add some drops more of PH up and stir again. If the solution has reached the desired value of Ph then you can proceed with watering.

PH UP final reviews and its price

In this case, as it happens in many others, it is difficult to quantify the pros and cons of the product. basically in this case we can explain the need of using a Ph riser when growing, and about the concentration of this acid.

The importance of a pH up is based in the fact that nutrients and booster usually cause a too acidic pH for plants (specially when working with sinthetic nutes). Adjust this pH to optimal values can get much differences in nutrient uptake capacity, and so on the growth ratio and final yields.

In terms of quality, pH correctors are very similar, so the only factor we can value is frequently the product concentration. Obviously if the price per liter of the pH up is the same (or similar) and the product is more concentrated than competitor's, it's worth choosing it.

In case of Emerald Harvest PH Up we find a powerful and concentrated alkaline, that needs very low amounts to quickly modify the pH of the nutrient solution. Another detail to value of a pH corrector is that once the pH is modified, we need this value to persist (some growers use lemon juice or other similar products that modify the pH, but only for few minutes being totally useless).

Summing up, Emerald Harvest PH UP is a good ally, specially due its high concentration and average price (has a higher cost per liter compared with other brands, but it is way more concentrated so you can prepare many more liters of nutrient solution with it). This product has all our approval about how it works. With PH UP Emerald Harvest you can get 100% satisfactory results.
