When mixing different nutes and additives what is the correct order for the nutes. I've seen mix base and than the additives, I've seen mix additivives and than the base, I've also seen mix your silica first, base, cal mag, than additives. Im using Hydroguard, AN MGB, +additives.

I just posted a table listing this the other day, and even I cant remember the list from memory. Some people say it depends on brand or if its organic or synthetic. Personally I follow the silica first, base, cal mag and additives in hydro. In soil its base and humic/fluvic acids in that order, and cal mag becomes an as needed additive used separate on its own, as my base has cal and mag in it, if thats not enough then I dont want to add more with my base mix. Also soil is full of silica so not needed in dirt.

You want to mix your silica first. Other than that it doesn't matter what order you add nutrients.

First Silica, second cal mag, third micro.. then anything and everything else. At low doses it’s unlikely to precipitate in any order.. but this is the order to play it safest. Doesn’t matter when you do hyroguard, I do it last

I use a 3 part very similar in my directions it says go micro, grow, bloom. Additives, ph adjusting last. It says if micro mixes with other nutrients it may block out them from remaining active.
