Hopelessly Hooked
Getting your feet wet in hydroponics is not easy . However , when my local shop gave me a copy of your informative magazine , it answered a lot of questions on how to get started and what I needed . I am hopelessly hooked on Maximum Yield now . Thanks !

Editor ’ s Note : Michael has Michael Forsberg won a cash prize to spend at his favorite indoor gardening shop , Happy Hydro in St . Louis , Missouri , for telling us why he loves Maximum Yield .
Higher Yields
Maximum Yield is one of the best free gardening magazines I ’ ve read . The articles have given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and try new things , most of which have resulted in higher yields and healthier plants . I always look forward to my next issue .

Looking for Alternatives
I would like to know if there are any alternative / substitute elements for potassium nitrate and potassium hydrogen phosphate for the purpose of making hydroponic nutrients .
Mahmud
Editor ’ s Note : Great question ! For input , we went to Harley Smith , a former Maximum Yield contributor and the director of research at NPK University . He says , “ Potassium nitrate and monopotassium phosphate are the preferred sources of phosphorus and potassium in hydroponics because of their solubility .
Potassium sulfate is an alternative for potassium , but it ’ s not quite as soluble . Monoammonium phosphate is an alternative source of phosphorus , but it ’ s fairly acidic and it adds quite a bit of ammonium nitrogen . I use them mainly as supplements .”
