Nutrient solution is one of the most essential factors in influencing the production, yield and quality of plants hydroponically. This study aimed to obtain the best concentration of AB Mix nutrients and foliar fertilizer, as well as their combination on the growth and yield of pakcoy in the Floating Hydroponic System. This research was carried out at the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh from February to March 2023. This study used a 3 x 3 factorial RCBD with two factors. The first factor was the AB Mix concentration (800, 1000, and 1200 ppm), and the second factor was foliar fertilizer concentration (0, 250 and 500 ppm). The AB Mix concentration had a very significant effect on the total and consumption part wet weight, and also it had a significant effect on the number, length and width of leaf at 4 WAP. The foliar fertilizer concentration had a very significant effect on total and consumption part wet weight, had a significant effect on plant height at 4 WAP. The best growth and yield of pakcoy plants was obtained with the combination of 1200 ppm AB Mix nutrient concentrations and 250 ppm foliar fertilizer concentration. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
