      DWC & Recirculating Nutrients That Hold Stable

      Recirculating loops punish sloppy formulas. Every base in this range mixes fully soluble and holds a stable pH between reservoir changes — no sediment to clog pumps, drippers or air stones.

      A&B Sets, Single-Part and Commercial Dry Salts

      Run Canna Aqua Vega, House & Garden Aqua Flakes or Hy-Gen Hydro in bottles, or step up to Athena Pro Core, Grow and Bloom dry salts for bigger reservoirs at a lower cost per feed.

      FAQs

      What's the difference between DWC nutrients and standard hydroponic nutrients?

      DWC and recirculating formulas are built to stay fully dissolved and pH-stable while the same solution circulates for days. Standard drain-to-waste nutrients only need to hold up for a single pass.

      Do I need an A&B nutrient for DWC?

      No. Single-part options like Hy-Gen Hydro Growth and Bloom work well in DWC. A&B sets keep calcium separated from sulphates and phosphates until dilution, which gives more headroom in hard water and larger systems.

      How often should I change the nutrient solution in a recirculating system?

      Every 7–14 days is standard practice, topping up with pH-adjusted water between changes. Stable, well-buffered nutrients stretch the interval and keep EC drift manageable.

      Growers First, Retailers Second

      Welcome to The Grow Guys

      We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
