Wondering if I’ll have any issues mixing nutes. I want to add a bit of cal mag to my fish bloom? Or possibly adding fish bloom to advanced nutrients micro grow bloom?

Hi friend,
Consider your nutrient mix a chemical reaction. Adding concentrates together can result in exponentially fast reactions that can make the nutrients unavailable the plant. Generally you want to add the least soluble nutrients first. This is why they recommend you add micro first in most 3 part systems. Most nutrients can be compatible at low concentrations so diluting your mix before adding it to another will keep the unwanted reactions to a minimum. Essentially, they should work together as long as they are added together in a diluted form.
Hope this helps,

Flushing timingHow many weeks do u think flowering before flushing? I want to flush for at least 2-3 weeks.
When I did my purple lemonade and one of my lemon pie auto’s and you get a nice fade. It’s hard to know when to stop nutes and start plain water. I was thinking 3 weeks nutes + 2 water.

It doesnt smell bad or doesnt look bad either, maybe tiny bit of solidified stuff at the bottom but nothing major. How safe is it to use these? whats worst that can happen?Feeding. Other

Plagron sugar royal - hermie´sCould plagron sugar royal cause plants to hermie? I have used sugar royal for 2 grows and in these grows, always 1 or 2 plants went hermie. Before I have never used sugar royal and I never have had any hermies.
Sugar royals creates a kind of drought stress to increase trichomes.Feeding. Other

Ec rising in hydro (6th week flowering - closed circuit tank and drip)At the end of every day, EC rises by 0.2 at least. Starts at 1.60 and then in their evening it goes up to 1.83 ! So I have to add water (2L) in order to go down. Does it have to do with the fact they had overfeeding, toxicities and deficiency so they don't feed well ?

Will excessively aerating and circulation change the PH?I have a reservoir which holds my nutrients until they need to be used. Recently I had added in a pump for circulation in addition to my air stone. Since then my solution has been rising to over 7 within a few hours. I adjust back down and it goes back up again? What the heck?Feeding. Other

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?2y ago

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????5y ago
