Hydroponics Knowledge Platform

Hydro Platform

Phase 1

Foundation scaffold is live

Water chemistry. Nutrient formulation. Verified calculators. Real field evidence.

Astro is running with two locales. No hydroponics formulas exist yet — by design. Phase 2 begins only when each formula has a written spec, a cited source and verified test cases.

The seven pillars

Established conceptual direction — labels are not yet owner-ratified.

  1. 01

    Learn

    Fundamentals, systems, terminology and scientific explanations.

  2. 02

    Grow

    Crop-specific guidance, growth stages and practical growing information.

  3. 03

    Understand Water

    Quality, pH, alkalinity, hardness and how source water drives nutrient management.

  4. 04

    Formulate

    Nutrient formulation, fertilizer salts, stock solutions and A/B preparation.

  5. 05

    Diagnose

    Plant symptoms, nutrient problems and growing-system faults.

  6. 06

    Calculate

    Calculators for water chemistry, nutrients and fertilizer quantities.

  7. 07

    Real Field Data

    Polyhouse observations, measurements and evidence from real conditions.

Unit and locale foundations

Proof that the global-first mandates are wired before any formula exists.

Digit grouping

1,234,567

Hindi uses lakh/crore grouping (12,34,567), not Western grouping (1,234,567).

Decimal separator

1.5.

Display unit systems

  • Metric (SI)
  • US customary
  • Imperial (UK)

RTL readiness

Layout uses logical properties only (ms/me). Arabic can be added without touching components.

Locale-aware input parsing

Type a number. It is parsed using this locale's separators — never with Number().

Priority crops (D4)

  • LettuceLactuca sativa
  • CorianderCoriandrum sativum

Coriander is called cilantro in North America — alias handling is a data requirement, not a translation detail.

Approved fertilizer salts (D5)

  1. Calcium nitrate
  2. Potassium nitrate
  3. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt)
  4. Mono potassium phosphate (MKP)
  5. Chelated iron (EDTA/DTPA/EDDHA)
  6. Potassium sulfate
  7. Mono ammonium phosphate (MAP)
  8. Boric acid

Micronutrient gap flagged: this set covers Ca, N, K, Mg, S, P, Fe and B. Mn, Zn, Cu and Mo still need a sourced salt or a chelated premix.
