Why Test

Your Feed Chart Was Written For
Someone Else's Water

Off-the-shelf nutrient programs assume perfect baseline water. But source alkalinity, bicarbonate loads, and substrate variations change how nutrients actually interact in your root zone.

Generic Feed Schedule

Standard chart guidelines written for synthetic laboratory baselines.

  • Baseline Water EC 0.0 mS (Distilled)
  • Calcium Availability Standard Assumption
  • pH Drift Tolerance Narrow Window
  • Runoff Lockout Risk High Risk

Your Actual Grow

Formulated precisely against your tap water chemistry and substrate biology.

  • Baseline Water EC Adjusted for Tap (0.4 mS)
  • Calcium Availability Optimized Ratio
  • pH Drift Tolerance Buffered Formula
  • Runoff Lockout Risk Actively Avoided

Test At The Moments
When A Decision Matters

Plant health testing is an investment that saves thousands when deployed at structural transition points. Prevent stress before it manifests visually as crop damage.

Phase 1

Before a New Run

Test source water and freshly blended substrates to verify nutrient starting values and exclude biological pathogens before planting.

Phase 2

After a Change

Run tissue and media panels 7 days after changing environmental variables, nutrient lines, or genetics to verify plant adjustment.

Phase 3

When Growth Drifts

Avoid visual diagnostic guesswork. Test tissue and run-off at the first sign of leaf tip curl, chlorosis, or slow transpiration.

Phase 4

At Key Crop Stages

Establish a baseline profile at transition to flower, peak swell, and flush stages to compile custom seasonal data playbooks.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about setting up plant diagnostics, shipping biological materials, and using agronomist data.

How often should I run plant health diagnostics?

For commercial facilities, we recommend testing source water quarterly, and root zone media/tissue at 3 key developmental stages per run (Vegetative baseline, Week 3 of flower transition, and Week 6 peak bloom).

What export report formats do you support?

Every report is delivered as a PDF diagnostic sheet, with raw values also available as CSV so your team can drop them straight into existing tracking sheets.

Does HGV support commercial team collaboration?

Yes. Reports can be shared with multiple contacts at your facility, and your agronomist consultation can include your head grower, cultivation manager, and ownership on the same call.

How is facility data and genetic privacy protected?

Samples are processed under double-blind control at the lab. Your results are never shared, published, or used in aggregate reporting without written permission.

Can I test organic soil or only hydroponic rockwool/coco?

Both. Our media panels handle living soil and organic amended mixes as well as coco coir, rockwool, and peat-based substrates.
