in your fertilizer lime up case just use silica first of all then base nutrient then other things. as all your fertilizers are from General Hydroponics they'll mix well together

like dudes said : 1-always first silica 2- then chelated calcium if it has micros with it so much better 3-base fertilizer like grow in grow stage and bloom in flowering stage 4- you can add some carbos in it for microbes done don't mix more than 4 always use bloom boosters especially salt based ones solo don't mix it with others. if you don't have some of those fertilizers just add chelated calcium first then based nutrient or if your calcium is not chelated you have to use it separately or it will block iron and iron will block it!

I don't think it mater that much. I wouldn't stress about it. There is likely a bigger limiting factor in your grow othan the order you mix your nutrients I would try to identify and focus on

Anything with calcium and silica should always be added last. Add Ca last of the two. These are the molecules that will be the first/easiest to form a precipitate. The only real concern is when in concentrated form. Most liquid fertilizers probably won't be high enough concentration to cause a precipitate even if you don't follow a more intelligent order of mixing fertilizers. An example - i've recently gotten lazy about hand-mixing some 2-gallon tanks. I have 100:1 (relative to mass/volume dose) concentration of my dry ferts pre-mixed. I add 10mL per L. I used to make sure to rinse out the little measuring cup i use but stopped bothering between each part of fertilizer added. I haven't gotten a precipitate even with the remnant drips of 100:1 first part with the 100:1 calcium nitrate that i pour in at the end. I would not advise doing this. It's stupid and lazy, lol. I do wash it out between uses. In this context, it's never interacting with each other in larger amounts at higher concentrations, which is the key. Even so, no precipitate with highly concentrated calcium nutriate with highly concentrated "Part A" in the measuring cup.

Bulshit. Long lasting question 4 me too. But answer is just mix it and use. Any chemical reaction will happen because some particles will attract others. No air supply - use now. Air and recycling - make sure it gets enough air. Half of manufacturer lies what inside, having some rules - Mean you know 4sure. Then maybe you could stabilize it and have less variations.

1 Silica is always first to be added to a feeding solution 2 Calcium-Magnesium 3 Micro 4 Grow 5 Bloom 6 All the supplements and enhancers, cannot say whether they order matters, I usually check recommendations of the nutrient's company. 7 pH down or up in the very end
