I just started using Plagron PK 13/14 and mixing with my nutes caused my nutrient solution to go cloudy af. Is this normal? I’m thinking about using it once a week as a stand alone because it just didn’t look right after mixing it.

Plagron PK 13/14 is highly concentrated in phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). When mixed with calcium-rich feeds (like CalMag, certain base nutrients, or tap water with high Ca content), it can cause cloudiness or flocculation (tiny particles binding together). This means part of the nutrient mix has fallen out of solution — it’s not fully dissolved anymore. How to Fix / Prevent It 1. Mix Order Matters: Add base nutrients first (A/B or main feed). Adjust pH if needed. Add PK 13/14 last, slowly, with good stirring. Never mix PK 13/14 directly with concentrated nutrients — always dilute in water. 2. Use Clean, Warm Water (18–22 °C) to help solubility. 3. Check EC — if the mix spikes way too high, dilute it. Cloudiness can be a sign of overconcentration too. 4. Don’t Mix With Enhancers or Organic Boosters in the same jug — especially ones like enzymes, humics, or bio-based calmag, which can destabilize the solution. Using PK 13/14 Stand-Alone Yes, you can use it as a stand-alone supplement once a week during mid- to late-flower. Typical use: Add it to plain water (no other nutrients). Keep pH 5.8–6.3 (soil/coco dependent). Apply once per week or every 3rd watering. That way, you avoid interactions and get a clean phosphorus/potassium boost. Keep growing ganja farmers!

Cloudy normally means a participate has formed and reacted with something locking out he nutrients and creating undesired reactants.

From what I believe when this happens is because of high pH already in the solution.. Lower the solution to below ph6 before adding the pk and see if the problem persists.. Hope this helps.. Good luck..
