CropSalt FAQ

How is Cropsalt different from competitors?
Cropsalt uses unique nutrient ratios and built-in additives, offering consistent, high-performance results with multiple calcium sources. We aim to deliver the best product at the best price, ensuring you get better results with fewer adjustments.

What feed strengths should I use for Cropsalt?
For Veg A/B, mix 4.6 grams of Veg A and 3.1 grams of Veg B per gallon of water from clone to day 21 of flowering. After day 21, switch to Bloom A/B, mixing 5.1 grams of Bloom A and 2.6 grams of Bloom B per gallon of water until flush. For the final 14 days before harvest, use Cake at 3 grams per gallon of water.

Do I need additives with Cropsalt?
No. Cropsalt is a complete nutrient line. Only use Runclean for descaling and unscented Clorox bleach at 0.2 ml per gallon of water twice a week to maintain a sterile system. Adding other products can alter the nutrient balance and may reduce effectiveness.

Why wait until day 22 to use Bloom powders?
The first 21 days of flowering require higher nitrogen levels to reduce stretch and tighten node spacing, ensuring healthier growth.

What substrates can Cropsalt be used with?
Cropsalt works with coco, peat, soil, rock wool, and more. Follow the feed chart for each medium, and adjust for soil/peat by alternating feed and water.

Can I use tap water with Cropsalt?
Yes, tap water works well and reduces the need for pH adjustments. RO or tap water will both work, but we recommend blending with enough tap water to stabilize pH.

Do I need Cal-Mag supplements?
No. Cropsalt provides all the calcium and magnesium your plants need. If deficiencies occur, first check your environment and runoff pH before considering supplements.

Will my crops pass testing with Cropsalt?
Yes, Cropsalt uses pure raw minerals, ensuring your harvests are clean, abundant, and compliant with industry standards.

What’s the best way to get great results with Cropsalt?
Automate your watering, use 2-gallon pots with coco/perlite, feed daily with 20-25% runoff, and monitor pH regularly. Use our VPD guide to keep your environment optimized.

Why is my reservoir clear after adding Cropsalt?
Cropsalt contains no dyes, keeping your system clean and free from buildup. No more scrubbing tanks!

What is ORP and why does it matter?
ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) measures the ability of a solution to remove contaminants and maintain cleanliness. Cropsalt’s recommended use of small amounts of unscented bleach (0.2 ml per gallon of water twice a week) helps keep systems sterile without affecting nutrient levels or harming plants.

Can I use Cropsalt with fertilizer injectors or dosers?
Yes, Cropsalt is compatible with all doser systems. Check our Grow Documents page for setup details.

Can Cropsalt be used with DWC or Autopot systems?
Yes, Cropsalt works well with both systems. For DWC, swap nutrient solutions weekly and use unscented bleach (0.2 ml per gallon of water) twice a week to maintain sterility. Autopot systems may need regular flushing to prevent buildup.

How do I use Cropsalt Granular?
Incorporate 25-30 grams per gallon into pots or top-dress as needed. Adjust based on your plants' needs, or add solubles weekly for extra nutrients.

How should I feed seedlings with Cropsalt?
Use Veg A/B at 1.53/1.03 grams per gallon for seedlings, increasing strength as they grow.

Is Cake used during flush?
Yes, Cake is used for the last 2-3 weeks before harvest, depending on your flowering cycle. Start flushing with water, then switch to Cake for the final weeks.

Can Cropsalt be used with autoflowers?
Yes, start seedlings with the Veg A/B ratio, increase strength as plants grow, and switch to Bloom A/B when flowers appear. Two weeks before harvest, use Cake at 3 grams per gallon.

What does RunClean do?
RunClean prevents scale buildup in tanks, lines, and pots without affecting EC or ORP. It's safe with microbes and eliminates clogs for smooth operation.

Can Cropsalt be used for rooting clones?
Yes, follow the cloning guide on our Grow Documents page for instructions. In aerocloners, use Bloom A/B and add bleach (0.2 ml per gallon of water) to maintain sterility.

Does Cropsalt have a feed chart?
Yes, visit our Grow Documents page for the complete feed chart and week-by-week guides for optimal results.

How many grams are in a pound, and how many gallons can I make?
There are 453.592 grams in a pound. Depending on the feed strength you use, you can calculate how many gallons of nutrient solution you can make from 1 pound. For example, if you're mixing 4.6 grams of Veg A per gallon of water, 1 pound of Veg A will make approximately 98 gallons of solution (453.592 / 4.6). This varies based on the product and stage of growth, but here's a general breakdown:

Veg A/B: 4.6g Veg A 3.1g Veg B per gallon = ~98 gallons from Veg A, ~146 gallons from Veg B.
Bloom A/B: 5.1g Bloom A 2.6g Bloom B per gallon = ~89 gallons from Bloom A, ~174 gallons from Bloom B.
Cake: 3 grams per gallon = ~151 gallons per pound of Cake.

How many nutrients will I go through in one run, and how many pots should I use?
The amount of nutrients you’ll use depends on the size of your grow, how many pots you're using, and how often you’re feeding. Here's a general estimate based on a typical setup of 12 plants in 2-gallon pots per 16 square feet, feeding daily.

For one full run from start to finish (including Veg and Bloom stages, plus flushing with Cake), you’ll need approximately:

Veg A/B: From clone to day 21 of flowering, expect to go through 1-2 pounds of each nutrient, accounting for plant count and feeding schedule.
Bloom A/B: From day 22 of flowering until flush, you’ll use about 1-2 pounds of each nutrient for a similar number of plants.
Cake: For the final 2-3 weeks during flush, using Cake at 3 grams per gallon, you'll need about 1 pound for most setups.

How much RunClean will I need?

For a full 90-day run with 12 plants, you will need approximately 6-12 ounces of RunClean.
