What order do you add General Hydroponics?

How do I mix the Flora Series? Always start with a reservoir filled with water, then add the concentrated nutrients one by one. Never mix the nutrients together in their concentrated form, as this will cause nutrient “lock-out” making some minerals unavailable.

How do you use General Hydroponics Flora Series?

Mix in the proper amount of Micro first, then Grow and Bloom separately (order not important). For hydroponics and aeroponics, mix into reservoir or irrigation system to the desired ppm level.

Is pH down bad for plants?

pH down is primarily phosphoric acid, which is the most stable and least harmful to your plants. It is also safe for fish, which means you could use it in an aquaponic system.

How much does a gallon of flora bloom?

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Mix 2.5 ml (seedling) to 20 ml (aggressive bloom) per gallon of water. Combine with FloraGro and FloraMicro to meet the specialized needs of each phase in a plant’s life cycle: seedling, vegetative, transitional, flowering and fruiting.

What is a good EC for soil?

As with most things in the soil, it is important that the EC does not get too high either, as too many of these nutrients, especially Na and Mg, can be detrimental to soil health. Optimal EC levels in the soil therefore range from 110-570 milliSiemens per meter (mS/m).

Is pH down bad for soil?

Extreme levels of acidity and alkalinity (pH) can cause some nutrients to become toxic, even killing plants. If the pH of your fertilizer solution is off, no matter the quality, cost or how many additives you use, the plant will not be able to make use of them.

What happens when pH is too high for plants?

When the media-pH is too high, micronutrients (especially iron) are less soluble and unavailable for uptake by plant roots. High-pH induced iron deficiency can develop within one to two weeks, resulting in chlorosis of new growth and overall stunting.

What is Flora Bloom used for?
