Optimize your hydroponic garden! Calculate precise nutrient dosages, diagnose plant deficiencies, get pH/EC adjustment guides, and unlock AI-powered insights for healthier plants and better yields.
Select your plant type and growth stage (e.g., 'Leafy Greens - Vegetative', 'Fruiting Plants - Flowering'). Input your reservoir volume in Liters, your initial water EC/TDS in PPM, and your target EC/PPM for the nutrient solution. Optionally, choose your nutrient brand/type for tailored AI insights.
Click 'Calculate Nutrient Dosage' to receive a recommended dosage for your reservoir. The calculation aims to adjust for your initial water's EC/TDS to reach your target, providing a balanced nutrient solution for your plants.
Describe specific plant symptoms you observe (e.g., 'yellowing lower leaves, veins green', 'stunted growth'). The AI will provide a diagnosis of potential nutrient deficiencies and suggest remedies, helping you identify and address plant health issues.
Maintain optimal nutrient solution parameters. Input your current and target pH values. The AI suggests step-by-step instructions and amounts of pH Up/Down or nutrient adjustments needed to reach your desired levels.
Tailor your feeding! Input your plant type, growth stage, and a desired outcome (e.g., 'higher fruit yield', 'stronger roots'). The AI suggests custom nutrient ratios (e.g., N-P-K values, micronutrient boosts) that align with your specific goals.
Ensure your plants get the best water. Describe your water source (e.g., 'Tap water, hard', 'RO water'). The AI then suggests pre-treatment or filtration methods (e.g., 'reverse osmosis', 'carbon filter') to optimize your water quality for hydroponics. It also highlights potential issues with your current water, like high chlorine or mineral content.
Grow sustainably! Describe your hydroponic setup (e.g., 'Indoor DWC system with 6 plants, LED lights, 20L reservoir'). The AI then suggests ways to optimize your system for sustainability, focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction.
If your plants are showing symptoms of over-fertilization or nutrient lockout, describe them to the AI. It will suggest potential causes (e.g., high EC, incorrect pH, nutrient imbalance) and provide actionable remedies like flushing the system or adjusting nutrient levels.
Plan your entire grow cycle. Based on your plant type, growth stage, and desired duration, the AI generates a suggested nutrient schedule, including recommended EC/PPM targets and pH ranges for different weeks of growth.
The Environmental Factor Optimizer provides advice on ideal light intensity (PAR/PPFD), temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels for your specific plant type and growth stage. It helps you fine-tune your grow environment for optimal plant health and yield.
This feature helps you estimate the cost of your nutrient regimen based on dosage and assumed prices. For commercial growers, it can also provide a conceptual ROI estimate based on projected yields and market prices. This is for financial planning and budgeting, not professional financial advice.
Mixing nutrients in the wrong order can lead to nutrient lockout due to precipitation. This guide provides the correct sequence for adding different nutrient components to your reservoir, ensuring optimal solubility and plant uptake.
Keep your grow logs organized! You can easily copy your calculations and all AI-generated insights to the clipboard. For detailed records, you can also export the data as a CSV or JSON file for personal reference or integration with other gardening software.

Individuals who appreciate integrating AI and digital tools into their gardening practices for enhanced efficiency and insights.
A: This tool helps hydroponic growers accurately calculate nutrient dosages for their systems, tailored to specific plant types, growth stages, and water parameters. It also provides AI-powered insights for troubleshooting and optimization.
A: The calculated dosages are estimates based on general hydroponic guidelines and your inputs. Actual plant needs can vary due to environmental factors, specific genetics, and nutrient brand formulations. Always monitor your plants closely and adjust as necessary. This tool is for guidance, not a substitute for careful observation and testing.
A: No, all AI-Powered insights (Deficiency Diagnoser, pH/EC Adjuster, Custom Recipe, Water Quality, Environmental Impact, Lockout/Toxicity Troubleshooter, Grow Schedule, Environmental Factor Optimizer, Nutrient Cost Analysis, Mixing Order Guide) are based on general hydroponic principles and analysis. They are not real-time or derived from actual lab data. They are designed to provide creative and strategic thought-starters for improving your hydroponic setup. Always rely on actual testing and professional advice for critical decisions.
