The importance of adjusting the pH is crucial. And it is that, at the time of nutrient absorption, the availability of these it depends directly on the existing pH in the medium. As an example, suffice it to say that at pH 7 plants can only absorb 50% of available iron and magnesium. Already pH 8 its absorption is totally null.

Therefore, the pH value that we must achieve in our nutrient solution would be that between values from 5.8 to 6.5, the ideal being a value of 6 so that most of the nutrients supplied are truly available for plants.

On the other hand, the addition of potassium hydroxide supposes an extra dose of potassium; one of the macronutrients indispensable for plants throughout their entire life cycle. It is essential in the formation of proteins that regulate the synthesis of essential oils that provide the aroma and flavor qualities of smoke. What's more favors flowering and fruit development.
