Hi all
I’m new to hydroponics and tomorrow I’m going to switch to growing my monstera in leca.
Before I go out and spend more money I wanted to ask if this fertilizer can be used in hydroponics?
Thanks so much seriously !

Well you can USE anything you want, Will it work, the answer is most likely no it will not work
No, it probably won’t work. The product has most of the nitrogen in the form of urea. Urea requires soil bacteria enzymatic action to make the nitrogen bioavailable to plants. In general, this will not work in soil less hydroponics.
no, there is far to much nitrogen ratioed in that, plus most of the nutrients are probably not water soluble, because they are designed to sit in soil substrate and deteriorate over time, instead of being immediately available to plant roots like hydroponic solution
Look like it’s meant to be dissolved in water so I would guess so.
As other have stated, the N is a little on the high side but if your growing greens then you’d probably be fine.
I’d keep it around 400-500 PPM. Or probably quarter strength. Definitely worth investing in an inexpensive EC/PPM meter from Amazon.
No. even if a fertilizer can be dissolved in water, if it’s meant for soil, it’s going to be ammonia based. That’s not suitable for hydroponics.
