Nutrient mixing
FreakyMilkstarted grow question 4y ago
I just received a box of General Hydroponics GO nutrients. I still have some of my Flora Trio left. Is it safe to mix organic feed with the Flora trio? Any benefits?

shouldn't have a major issue... i'd use the one up then switch, sure... i wouldn't use both at the same time - that would be bad idea for any 2 nutes at instructed doses.
the good ones will all be fairly similar, anyway. If any of the organic stuff is slow-release in effect, not necessarily osmicoat-like stuff, you may need to adjust your GH products as it transitions. The organic stuff isn't as plant-ready as what you will be feeding with the GH hydro nutes, so there may be some lingering added nutrients.
be a little extra religious about maintaining a 10% waste runoff with the hydro nutes. Any transition will be minimized quickly.

I would not mix brands. Can encounter chemical reactions. Is why they say it is best to use 1 nutrition line to avoid any reactions.

As long as you do not exceed a combined maximum dilution strength, it will be fine, the plants can not tell which bottle a fertilizer came from.
There are no benefits or drawbacks to mixing the two.

Coco and Worm Castings - Does Total Dissolved Solids Matter?Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY5y ago

Ready for a flushing ?As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?

Outdoor Hempy Bucket fertilizer use?Added perlite and clay mix to a 10L outdoor hempy bucket, with Skunky Lady on top. Curious about hydroponics fertilizer use outdoors, should it be added early or wait for some growth when the roots hit the reservoir? Seems like it would be wasted if I add it early on....
