SLF-100 2.5 Gallon (2/Cs)

SLF-100 by Grand Hydro Solutions is a commercially proven enzymatic formula designed to break down salt buildup, prevent toxic accumulation, and keep hydroponic and soilless systems running smoothly. With over 18 years of success in professional cultivation, this 100% organic, OMRI-listed solution is trusted by growers for cleaning root zones, improving nutrient absorption, and maintaining a balanced growing environment.

Compatible with all nutrients, fertilizers, and rooting compounds, SLF-100 is a versatile and effective tool for hydroponic growers, soil-based farmers, and greenhouse cultivators. Whether you're running a deep water culture, drip irrigation, aeroponic, or NFT system, this enzymatic cleaner ensures plants receive optimal nutrition without salt interference.

Why SLF-100 is Essential for Plant Health

Salt buildup in hydroponic and soilless growing systems can lead to nutrient imbalances, root damage, and reduced plant growth. Over time, excess salts can accumulate in reservoirs, drip lines, and growing media, disrupting pH balance and nutrient uptake. SLF-100 solves this issue by breaking down and dissolving salts, ensuring optimal root health and system efficiency.

Key Benefits of SLF-100

• Breaks Down Salt Accumulation – Dissolves and prevents salt buildup in hydroponic systems, drip lines, and growing media.
• Improves Nutrient Uptake – Helps roots absorb essential nutrients more efficiently by eliminating salt-induced nutrient lockout.
• Cleans Hydroponic Systems – Keeps reservoirs, irrigation lines, and soilless media free from toxic buildup.
• Supports All Growth Stages – Safe and effective for use in seedling, vegetative, and flowering stages.
• 100% Organic & OMRI Listed – Certified for organic farming and hydroponic use.
• pH Neutral Formula – Does not alter nutrient solution pH, ensuring system stability.
• Compatible with All Fertilizers & Nutrients – Works seamlessly with synthetic and organic fertilizers, compost teas, and rooting compounds.
• Works with Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) – Can be used alongside H₂O₂-based treatments without losing effectiveness.

How SLF-100 Works

SLF-100 is formulated with a proprietary blend of naturally occurring enzymes that break down organic matter and salts without harming plant roots or beneficial microbes. This biological process helps maintain a clean and stable root environment, preventing nutrient lockout and toxicity.

Mode of Action

1. Salt Breakdown – Enzymes target and dissolve excess mineral salts, preventing toxic accumulation in hydroponic and soilless systems.
2. Root Zone Optimization – Supports healthy root development by maintaining a clean and balanced environment.
3. System Cleansing – Removes organic buildup, biofilm, and mineral deposits, improving system efficiency and longevity.
4. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption – By eliminating salt interference, SLF-100 allows nutrients to be fully available to plants.

Recommended Uses & Application Guidelines

SLF-100 is versatile and can be used throughout the entire growing cycle, from seedling to harvest. It can be applied in hydroponic, soilless, and soil-based systems for routine maintenance or intensive cleaning.

How to Use SLF-100

1. Routine System Maintenance:
• Use 5 mL per gallon of water with each watering or reservoir change.
• Helps prevent salt buildup and nutrient lockout in hydroponic and soil-based systems.
2. Deep Cleaning & Salt Flush:
• Use 10 mL per gallon of water to flush excess salts and clear clogged irrigation lines.
• Apply before nutrient changes to keep roots and systems free from toxic residue.
3. Rescue for Salt Toxicity & Root Issues:
• If plants show signs of salt buildup, slow growth, or nutrient lockout, apply 20 mL per gallon as an intensive flush.
• Wait 24 hours before resuming normal nutrient feeding.

Compatible Growing Systems

SLF-100 can be used in all hydroponic and soil-based environments, including:

• Deep Water Culture (DWC) – Prevents salt buildup in reservoirs and air stone blockages.
• Drip Irrigation & NFT Systems – Keeps lines, emitters, and pipes free of mineral deposits.
• Aeroponic Systems – Prevents organic matter from clogging misters and spray nozzles.
• Soilless Growing Media – Works with coco coir, rockwool, peat moss, and perlite to maintain a clean root zone.
• Traditional Soil Gardens – Helps flush out excess fertilizers and improve soil microbial activity.

Best Practices for Maximum Effectiveness

• Apply SLF-100 with Every Watering – Consistent use prevents salt accumulation before it becomes a problem.
• Flush Before Changing Nutrients – Before switching to a new nutrient formula, use SLF-100 to clear out residual salts.
• Use in Combination with Organic Fertilizers – SLF-100 works well alongside compost teas, fish fertilizers, and mycorrhizal inoculants.
• Pair with H₂O₂ Treatments – If using hydrogen peroxide for root sterilization, SLF-100 remains effective without degradation.

Storage & Handling Instructions

To ensure maximum potency and effectiveness, SLF-100 should be stored properly.

• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not expose to extreme temperatures to maintain enzyme activity.
• Shake well before use to evenly distribute active ingredients.
• Use within 1 year of opening for best results.
