Concentration of the macro nutrients used in the nutrient solution (NS).

Phenological phases	N_NO3	N_N H4	K+	P	Mg2+	Ca2+	SO42--S
	(mM)
Start of cycle - Fourth inflorescence	9.4	0.6	6.1	1.6	1.6	3.2	2.5
Fourth inflorescence - Beginning of harvest	10.1	0.6	7.7	1.6	1.9	3.2	0.7
Beginning of harvest – Third truss	8.1	0.5	7.7	1.6	1.9	2.5	0.4
Third truss – End of the cycle	8.1	0.5	9.2	1.6	1.9	2.5	1.7

The micronutrient concentrations were the following: Fe (20 μM), Mn (5 μM), Zn (2 μM), B (25 μM), Cu (0.5 μM), and Mo (0.1 μM). The starting EC value of the NS was 1.7 dS ⋅ m^-1. The concentrations of Na⁺ and Cl^- increased until the values reported into the experimental protocol.
