Chapter explains in detail the different components that make a nutrient
solution, describing in depth the isolated elements and the use the
plants make of them. This includes macro and micro elements as well
as other new elements that are currently being employed by hydroponicists.
This is demonstrated with a diagram and a 3 dimensional CAD rendering,
each element is illustrated as a periodic symbol with the complete chemical
formula of its make-up. The chapter concludes with a break down of the
different types of nutrient solutions available and the strengths and
weaknesses of each commonly used type as well as photography of said
nutrients.
