Understanding Front Row Ag Feed Charts
A technical guide to Front Row Ag Feed Charts covering stock concentrate methods (3-2-2) vs. direct-to-reservoir (DTR), along with phase-specific recipes designed to optimize plant performance throughout the growth cycle.
Understanding EC Contributions: A Technical Guide for Cultivators
Front Row Ag provides precise EC contribution data for each fertilizer component. This enables cultivators to customize nutrient recipes and confidently control concentration throughout growth. Learn how and why we include "EC Contributed" in our feed charts, and how you can use it to improve your grow.
What Causes Irrigation Line Clogs? Monitoring & Maintenance Best Practices
A guide to irrigation system clogs in cultivation - their causes and effective solutions. Learn how to prevent, identify, and address blockages through best practices in water treatment, nutrient management, irrigation system design, monitoring, maintenance and more. 3 case studies included!
4 Reasons Why Innovative Cultivators Are Harnessing Enzymes in Hydroponics
Enzymes such as phosphatase and mannanase drive critical processes like digestion and nutrient cycling. Learn how enzymatic products like Phoszyme are made, how they work, and the positive effects they have on your grow.
pH in Practice
Adjusting pH levels, choosing from common bases and acids for pH adjustment, understanding the sequence of pH adjusters for fertigation systems, and the importance of calibration and accurate pH measurement.
How To Use Triologic As A Mycorrhizae Amplifier
How Front Row Ag Triologic Facilitates Mycorrhization through promotion of mycorrhizae spore germination, mycorrhizal fungal growth prior to root colonization, and promotion of the plant's ability to allow mycorrhizal colonization.
Water Cleanliness in Irrigation Systems
Water quality issues arise from seasonal changes, temperature shifts, and poor filter maintenance. This article compares effective pathogen risk reduction through disinfection methods like UV light, ozone, peroxides, hypochlorous acid, and chlorine compounds like Calcium Hypochlorite.
Unlock Your Grow’s Potential With This Unbelievably Simple Equation: $/ft2/day
Calculate $/ft2/day for each cycle and cultivar, associate the outcome changes with their causes, then do whatever is required to further increase $/ft2/day. If a cheaper input (e.g. fertilizer) decreases price or yield - you can easily lose much more revenue than you saved in OpEx.
Understanding pH: More Than You Wanted To Know (Part 2)
How nutrient absorption affects rootzone pH, when to use acids or bases, commonly used acids and bases in hydroponics, and considerations on pH management for cultivators.
Understanding pH: More Than You Wanted To Know (Part 1)
The chemistry of pH, acids, and bases and practical implications for cultivation.
