Product Spotlight… HYDRoToPS biOpOnic Range

The HYDRoToPs biOpOnic nutrient range, a UK based and produced range, has the sole aim of producing high performance bio-organic nutrients that deliver consistent outstanding results for both hydroponic, coco and soil growers.

The biOpOnic range was specifically designed back in 1998 to combine organic horticultural chemistry with the spirit and ethos of the organic grower, but using their in-depth knowledge of hydroponic nutrients and growing.

Why use a UK produced organic nutrient?

Well, not only does it alleviate the obvious ‘nutrient miles’ issue of the other European produced nutrients, but it also has the ability to tailor its nutrient specifically to the UK market, and UK water quality – HYDRoTops was the first nutrient company to address this, tailoring its nutrient solution to the water quality of a region where required. In fact, they can tailor it specifically to your own water if required, offering custom formulated nutrients specifically for the individual customer – just bring in a water sample and they will test it and formulate your nutrients to suit your water quality.

So, the principles of HYDRoToPs nutrient range are taken directly from knowledge of your plants biochemical processes. During the life of a crop the nutritional needs and chemical processes change dramatically during the stages of growth. Each stage of growth requires a different nutritional and biochemical approach for optimal plant performance However, the plants needs don’t suddenly change with each stage of growth, rather they occur gradually. The biOpOnic range is designed to supply the demands of these subtle changes without causing stress to your plants. Each part of the nutrient range has been developed to be mixed with the previous one, achieving a gentle altering nutrient profile that reflects your plants needs during the cycle.

The range has 2 individual but interlinked parts:

biOpOnic Nutrient Concentrates: Hard/Soft water, area specific and custom formulations.

biOpOnic Additives and Bio stimulants: Universal root function enhancers, microbial root inoculation, microbial flowering stimulants, foliar nutrition and flowering boosters 

The nutrient concentrates are formulated using both refined mineral and organic components designed to allow your crop to assimilate the correct balance of nutrition without excessive use of chemical nutrient salts – not only is this better for your plants, but for the environment as well.

The additives and bio stimulants compliment your plants changing needs through out each stage of your crop. Plants need more than just a good staple nutrition source, they also need the necessary bio chemical links essential for improving growth and flowering. It is important to note that HYDRoToPS never has and never will use PGRs (plant growth regulator chemicals) in their flowering boost.

In HYDRoToPs very informative growers guide (pop in store to grab one for a great read) they suggest 3 approaches for using their products dependent on the growers experience.

The Simple Approach: Provides the basic recommended products required, perfect ‘first steps’ to become familiar with the products and the results that can be achieved.

The Enhanced Approach: Extends the simple approach but adds in a couple more additives to give greater yields and quality without increasing a grower’s workload dramatically.

The Complete Approach: For the discerning grower. Combines all the available products to help achieve further increase in yields, combined with greater sugar content, product density and flavour.
