Alpha & Omega Passive Hydroponic Nutrient Kit – Binary Concentrates

Pre-Mixed 2x 500ml — Perfect for Kratky & Desktop Planters

The Eco Bini™ Liquid Alpha & Omega Kit is the ultimate “Plug-and-Play” solution for small-scale and passive hydroponic cultivation. We have taken our professional-grade, high-purity Hoagland Alpha and Omega formulation and pre-dissolved it into stabilized, high-potency liquid concentrates using pharmaceutical precision. This kit is tailored perfectly for indoor growers, windowsill herb arrays, and Kratky setups where mixing massive 5L tubs isn’t practical.

To eliminate the risk of light degradation and algae growth in storage, this batch is packaged in high-seal, UV-opaque white 500ml bottles. This keeps the delicate chelated micronutrients completely protected from ambient light, ensuring 100% bioavailability the moment it reaches your root zone. Each batch is cold-sterilized to guarantee your delivery lines and static reservoirs remain completely clean and free of biological biofilm.

The Passive Cultivation Advantage

Active hydroponics requires constant power, water movement, and noisy air stones. The Kratky Method removes the clutter by using a static, non-circulating water column. As plants drink, the water level recedes, creating a high-humidity oxygen zone where specialized “air roots” thrive while the feeding tips remain submerged below.

Why Choose the Liquid A&O Kit?

  • Instant Passive Dosing: No waiting around for dry salts to dissolve. Measure, pour, and grow.
  • Algae & Light Shield: Packaged in specialized white opaque bottles to stop photolytic nutrient breakdown dead in its tracks.
  • Sterile Stability: Our cold-sterilization protocol ensures no nasty mold or bacterial surprises sitting in your static reservoirs.
  • Anti-Lockout Design: The binary system keeps reactive Calcium and Phosphorus separated until the split-second they hit your reservoir water.

Professional-grade passive plant nutrition made simple. Formulated under Act 36/1947 (K5709 & K6888).

A&O Dosage and Mixing

Eco Bini™ Alpha & Omega Kratky Passive Hydroponic Nutrient Kit

Eco Bini™ Alpha & Omega is professional-grade hydroponic nutrition, formulated under Act 36/1947 (K5709 & K6888). The binary Alpha & Omega system maximises nutrient availability while preventing calcium “knockout” during storage.

Kratky & Passive Hydroponic Dosage Table

Note: In passive Kratky systems, water is normally lost faster than nutrients are consumed. As the reservoir level drops, the nutrient concentration gradually increases. For leafy greens and herbs we recommend maintaining a conservative operating range of 750–1,000 μS/cm to minimise leaf-tip burn while maintaining rapid growth.

Dosage (each ml/L) Final EC (μS/cm) Recommended Application
1.5 ml 375 Cuttings & Clones
2.0 ml 500 Young Seedlings
2.5 ml 625 Early Kratky Growth
3.0 ml 750 Lettuce & Leafy Greens
3.5 ml 875 Standard Kratky Herbs & Greens
4.0 ml 1,000 Basil, Chard & Heavy Leaf Crops
5.0 ml 1,250 Fruiting Crops – Early Vegetative
6.0 ml 1,500 Peppers, Chillies & Young Tomatoes

The Binary Mixing Protocol

Alpha & Omega must always be added in equal volumes and separately.

Example – Standard 5 L Recycled Bottle Kratky Planter

Target EC: 875 μS/cm

  1. Fill the reservoir with 5 litres of clean water (rainwater preferred).
  2. Add 17.5 ml Alpha and stir thoroughly.
  3. Add 17.5 ml Omega and stir again.
  4. Allow the solution to mix completely before checking the EC.

CRITICAL

Never mix the Alpha and Omega concentrates together before adding them to water.

Always:

  1. Add Alpha.
  2. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Add Omega.
  4. Stir again.

This sequence prevents calcium precipitation (“nutrient knockout”) and maintains the full nutrient balance.


STS Tip – Pin-Point Precision Formula

Need to hit a precise EC in any Kratky container?

Use the Eco Bini engineering equation:

Where:

  • Vol A&O = Volume of each concentrate required (Alpha and Omega added separately).
  • Target EC = Desired nutrient strength (μS/cm).
  • Reservoir Volume = Total reservoir volume (L).

Example

Desired EC = 1,000 μS/cm

Reservoir = 10 L

Alpha required:

(1000 × 10) ÷ 250 = 40 ml

Add 40 ml Alpha, stir thoroughly, then add 40 ml Omega.
