In traditional agriculture, fertilizer works alongside the soil environment in creating ideal growing conditions for plant development. While you can grow crops without fertilizer, they may take longer to grow.

However, in a hydroponic system, your plants are wholly dependent on the fertilizer you give them. If it’s not customized for their needs, you won’t be able to maximize their potential. If you don’t have nutrients in your hydroponic solution, your plants will not grow to maturity. However, if you provide them with the right mixture, they’ll reward you with bountiful harvests and rapid development.
