Cleaners

But there is no need to worry, as there is a range of products specifically designed to get rid of these residues efficiently and quickly. The solution is provided by cleaning fertilisers, those fertilisers designed to eliminate toxic substances that may reside in the substrates due to the passage of time, over-fertilisation, etc.

Functions and characteristics of cleaning products

One of the main functions of cleaning fertilisers is to carry out what is known as root washing. Many growers choose to carry out this process at the end of the flowering cycle in order to improve the organoleptic properties of their crops and obtain better aromas. 

With the use of cleaning fertilisers it is possible to remove certain substances from the roots that can worsen the aroma of the crops. Thanks to their cleaning action, these products also rid the plant of excess compounds that hinder the development of the crop and can spoil the aroma of the harvest.

However, this is not the only purpose of cleaning fertilisers. They can also be used to stop over-fertilisation, a process in which the grower is adding excess nutrients to the plants and which can reduce the yield capacity of the plants. If a crop is over-fertilised by mistake, it is necessary to clean the substrate (root flushing) in order to get rid of the excess nutrients.

In the fertiliser cleaner section you can also find products specially designed to clean the drip irrigation lines or the lines through which the nutrient solution passes in hydroponic crops. Both of these lines are susceptible to collapse and become clogged with mineral sediment from fertilisers. Fortunately, there is a solution to this type of clogging, with the use of products designed to clean the crop.

Best cleaning fertilisers

First of all, it is worth mentioning BAC Final Solution, a product designed to clean the crop at the end of its life cycle. The Final Solution formula allows the recovery of nutrients from the soil and frees the plant from excess nutrients by incorporating live microorganisms and enzymes into the substrate, which finish decomposing the excess organic matter to convert it into nutrients that can be used by the plant. This ultimately improves the yield and especially the organoleptic properties of the plants. 

It is also worth mentioning the ATA Clean product. This is an irrigation system cleaner. Although it is not a root or substrate cleaner as such, it is a clear example of a pipe cleaner that works by eliminating mineral sediments that can obstruct irrigation in drip irrigation or even hydroponic systems. In other words, ATA Clean works by acting as an essential unblocker for certain indoor and outdoor growing mediums.

Finally, Canna Flush is one of the classic products that can be found in the cleaning fertiliser section. It is a root and substrate cleaner that will remove excess nutrients without killing the beneficial bacteria and fungi present in the soil, something that happens with most root cleaners on the market.
