How To Mix Hydroponic Nutrients For Beginners

[@CurieBohr]

Always mix flora micro first. Then flow grow. Then flora bloom. You must mix the micro first to prevent it from getting locked out. You also must stir them between adding. You should not do them in the order that you did, and not stirring between is bad.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I didn’t know that! I’ve never had any issue doing it, but it’s definitely something I’m going to look more into. I appreciate the input!

[@71borto]

Over 19k people got taught how to mix this product incorrectly.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Here’s a tip for the pH meters. 1st those 12 dollar ones are about as reliable as a taste test and they’ll drift wildly even within a day of calibration. The nicer one like shown in the video (blue lab or Apera) are much more reliable and much easier to calibrate. Also, you can stand them up in the top of that one gallon jug and just gently squeeze the jug to bring your solution level up to the probe. Saves time, saves an extra step, and saves a solo cup from ending up in our oceans.

@@Pandiili glad to help. My Apera tester has been running for a little over a year. Calibrated it twice in that time and trust it down to the hundredth with confidence. Always store it in the 3M KCL solution.

[@jermaudeearl]

Dude you really made this super simple for me thank you mixing for dummies like myself You're the man

[@lisaamante5384]

Excellent detail! Really appreciate the explanations. Didn't know to wait 10-15 mins in between pH testing or that shake/stir well was required! One note, I read that it's better to create a diluted cup of pH adjuster, then incrementally add from that into the main mixed nutrients because sudden drops in pH can damage the nutrient solution ("lockout" or something like that...). Thanks so much!

[@itatae10]

Thank you. Even the most well known "advance" type of youtube growers tend to skip over how in what quantities is needed to start off and im literally trying to plant my first basil plant in a hydroponic style. I was going to get the "dry nutrients" but honestly this stuff is wayy more cheaper. So I wanted to understand the ratio needed to begin growing them.

[@saydat420Buds]

I'm just starting back out and I'm using your videos to help on which nutrients and how to give them

[@kelseylynnebarber]

Thank you SO much for doing this! I think I’ve been over doing my nutrients and your example helped me a ton. Can’t wait to see more!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

You're Welcome!

[@dunndub]

So once you have created the solution. How do we know how much solution to give out plants? and how often?

[@foots-z8r]

When I wonder about is the reservoir how often do you change the water or you just add nutrients and pH check

[@countrybarber]

RE: Medicinal Plants 🪴🌱 What is/are the ratios for: 1. Foliar Spray 2. Proper nutrient mix/ratio Mid-Late Veg. & beyond? (10 gallon fabric, 3 gallon nursery pots. Peat moss base w/perilite, vermiculite, Dr. Earth Tomato, Superthrive, CalMag+, Alaska 5-1-1. Alaska Morbloom 1-1-10.)

[@jeremysowik5969]

Love the video, just gotta mix micro first before adding grow and bloom.

[@denivyruck]

What's the expire date of the mixed gallon? Or is it expected to be used right away?

[@joty3100]

Could you please share a ratio for the each stage and mention the duration of each stage such as vegetative stage 1 month and bloom session starts with what signs on the plants. I’m a new grower with 4 plant in hydroponic. A detailed update will be very helpful to follow up. Thanks in advance. 😊

[@OscarGonzalez-is9yz]

Great detail and demonstration👍👍

[@thegistinside9796]

Hello, can this mix nutrients be use in soil plants as well, coco peat soil n other soil❓

[@Nathan-ot9eu]

thanks for sharing your knowledge, it can be quite confusing when first starting out expressly when you then have to convert gallons to litters.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

You’re welcome! Thank YOU for watching!

[@sanlyn9]

My only question I can’t seem to find in any video on this brand is a two fold question. 1. Do you use the mixture entirely in place of a regular watering, or do you mix it in? 2. Since the hydroponics in water doesn’t really deteriorate that quickly, how often do you replace the mixture for a fresh solution? Every two weeks?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I pretty much use it entirely in place of watering. Well.. it’s mixed with water but as long as the plant is healthy you don’t have to add any normal watering. That’s a tough question, it depends on the size of the container and the plant. At first.. I can go quite a while (over a month) without a fresh solution. Once the plant is mature it can deplete really quickly. I’ve had to add solution ever other day or so. If you are topping to solution off before it empties out, I would only do that 2 maybe 3 times at most before rinsing your container out and adding fresh nutrients.

[@sanlyn9]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead yeah right after I typed that, I replaced my solution in my teeny Walmart special hydroponic garden I’m starting with. After a week and a half, my promising arugula sprout started looking a little wilted and sad, so I emptied it out, wiped down the water reservoir and replaced it with fresh solution

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

An old solution can absolutely make a plant mad! Sometimes I will even bring the solution down to half or a quarter strength if I have something that isn’t too happy!

[@sanlyn9]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead I definitely noticed my solution wasn’t as dark this time when I used a gallon jug of water I had stored away. I think I mixed it in my two gallon tea pitcher last time and I’m not sure I got the ratios right. This one was much more diluted. Next time I’m just going to refill my gallon jug and mix it that way.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

That will happen! That’s half the fun though, figuring out what works best for what types of plants, I love it!

[@db-333]

thank you, how long can the solution stay in the gallon jug? is there an expiration once its mixed?

[@garygesell5629]

When you mix flora, grow into a gallon of water. If you're using it for hydroponics, I assume you would be doing the same measurement for each gallon of water that you put in a bucket, am I correct?

[@phyonapanton7600]

Can this mixture be used for all leafy greens? Or does it need to be adjusted based on what is being grown?

[@skimmy90]

Hello. Beginner here. Trying to start with lettuce. Quick Google Search says Lettuce takes around six to eight weeks to harvest For how many days should I use "Cutting and Seedlings" measurements When should I move to "General Purpose - Mild Vegetative" measurements When should I move to "Transition to Bloom" measurements When should I move to "Blooming and Ripening" measurements (If this even applies to lettuce) Where can I find specific guidelines for each stage of growth? On which day or week am I suppose to switch up to the next measurement?

[@Shane98270]

I would start using it after the second set of real leaves and start at like 1.5ml/gallon of each then ramp up to the full 5ml over the next month. If you want to grow your own seeds then you can give it the transition and bloom ratios at the 6-8 week mark, but if you're growing head lettuce or dont want seeds, then just stick with the vegetative ratios.

Hello. Beginner here. after you feed plants to hydroponic series mix, how many days or weeks to feed again?

[@kngjermal0t]

So if using 5 gallon buckets with this hydro solution and changing the water about every 2 weeks or so, depending on when needed, how much of each should I use for 5 gallons of water with no cycling? TIA Jeremy

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Hey Jeremy! A lot of it depends on where your plants are in their growth. I would have to get home and look at the chart to be sure BUT if I remember right the all purpose blend is 5ml of each per gallon. So 25ml of each per 5 gallons is what I would be doing for a general purpose mix. Definitely take into consideration where your plants are though, if they are seedlings I would be cutting that in half, and then if they are older and flowering I would be adding more bloom, etc.

[@kngjermal0t]

Are you sure that's not 800-1200 EC? (400-600 PPM) Just use EC. Take the 17 minutes to drill it into your brain and never speak of PPM again.

can I use this to grow outdoors I'm the ground or is it hydroponics only

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

These are mineral based nutrients and can be used in coco, soil, and hydro just make sure you read the dosage and recommended pH for your medium. I’ve used this trio for over a decade and find it’s easy and effective. Always start at 1/2 the recommended dosage and if you see any deficiency then gradually increase the dose. It’s always easier to add more than it is to take out especially in an outdoor setting. Hope this helps you. Short answer is yes you can use these in soil and outside.

[@AngryPepper1964]

When using Calmg., isn’t that added first?

[@MissCookie8260]

[@geroldwilson-hs5fm]

Hello, how are you? I just started my growing journey, and is PH'ing your water very important, or is it only for indoor grow or outdoors also

[@itatae10]

It's necessary for both technically. With soil growing you can get away with dealing with it later on when the plants start blooming. But with hydroponics it's crucial to sustain the pH as you recycle the water over time.

[@nikkiniks1996]

Do you water the seedlings and regular plants with it? How would you use the solution after it’s mixed? Love your videos btw!!

I normally do Kratky hydroponics with it. It’s a non circulating form of hydroponics. If you’re not familiar with it, next weeks video will be about it. BUT, I do use the same mixture for pretty much everything. Soil plants get watered with them any time they need water!

Can i mix bio roots with these?

[@davidcrawford6505]

I used these for my bell peppers in a DWC setup. My pepper roots turned brown and the peppers stopped growing. I followed the instructions for the dosage precisely. I ended up trimming the roots so that they don't go more than a half inch into the water. I see new white roots developing above the water line. Hopefully this lousy nutrient system didn't destroy what was a thriving set of pepper plants. If using this system ever again, I'll try without the Floramicro bottle. Or just go back to using an A & B pre-made nutrient program.

The plant will tell you if you need more or less of anything. Most people use Flora Trio at 1/2 recommended strength and everything works out fine provided all other factors are in order. If after that your plants don't look healthy, google the symptom and you'll get the solution. Grow forums for the particular plat your growing are invaluable
