Hi there growing community, i just wanted some POVs on mixing powder nutrients with liquid organical ones. Is this a good practice at all? In my case im using green house hybrids for short flowering that should cover the hole process but i cant find the booster powder in my mkt.

Hi there! I think you should be fine! Just mix all powder nutrients to water first before adding liquid nutes. Sometimes when you add powder nutes to nutrient water there might be some chemical reactions and some nutes will not be usable to plant anymore cos they combine with other. If you mix powder to water first then liquid I think its safe to do! I use pure salts and some bottle nutes myself and no problem when done correctly! 👌🏿

Hey gardener! I prefer to get everything from the same brand because the guys create fertilizers that are compatible with each other, but well, you can't do that, so use what you have on hand. So if you have a liquid booster, it's not a big deal because it's still a booster. On the other hand, I know there are PK 13/14 powders from other brands, so if you prefer powders, you can always find some on Amazon, for example. I saw the Platinum Monster PK 52-34 on the indoor growing site, and it's a powder, but I admit that the PK is a bit scary. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

More information here. I think that EVERY nutrient is made from some kind of salts and they are in solid form at first. So every liquid nutrient has been solid salts at some point but manufacturers dilute them with water to make it easier for you and to get GOOD money ofc lol So thats why you ALWAYS mix every powder/solid nutrients with water first to avoid any unwanted reactions, unless the packaging tells you otherwise.
