How to Mix Hydroponic Nutrients - Masterblend & General Hydroponic Flora Series

[@cd1655]

There are other comments that say the same thing. You are supposed to add calmag before micro. To expand a bit, it should follow this path... Armor si -> Calmag -> micro -> gro -> bloom -> others Feel free to comment if I'm wrong. I think that is the order. Not following the correct order could cause nutrient lockout and deny certain nutrients. Also shake the nutrients in their bottle before measuring

[@Pepper_Rookie]

That's exactly how I mix my nutrients for Kratky hydro peppers, also use the same mix on my Canna plants, don't always use armor si tho, my mix per gallon is Dependant if plants are in growth or in fruit for growth it's 7.5 ml Calmag , 10ml Micro, 15 ml grow, 5ml bloom ph comes out to 5.9-6.1 ppm is 1100-1200 depending on the city water. Then in Bloom/Fruiting it's 7.5ml Calmag, 10ml Micro , 5ml Grow, 15ml Bloom, 5ml KoolBloom ph comes out to 5.9-6.1 ppm is 1310

[@Dom59878]

I used to mix Masterblend like you did and I would get salts deposit in my containers. After some research I found that the correct way to mix them is Masterblend first, Epsom Salt second and lastly Calcium Nitrate. No more salts . Nice video.

Amino acids will also help with calcium buildup as it helps the plant uptake more calcium

Using a scale accurate to a 10th of a gram can help get accurate measurements when mixing small quantities of nutrient solution.

[@HeyZeus667]

Masterblend is already formulated for flowering plants that's why it is a tomato formula, you don't need to add anything for growing peppers unless you are in the vegetative growth period. If you are in vegetative growth, then you add the calcium nitrate. The calcium nitrate will raise the nitrogen level of the mix turning it into a general purpose type fertilizer, like 19-18-38 from the original 4-18-38.

[@maker8172]

[@John336NLT]

I use General Hydroponics and I agree, it is best to mix the nutrients a little weak. I have burned seedlings over doing it. Start low and slow, and incraese with growth. Very good video!

[@capthook1]

Great vid! According to Gen hydro, they state (on the feed schedule document) to add calmag BEFORE micro.

[@mikesomewhere7214]

ADD nutrients then adjust your PH

[@fsu3784]

Mike Somewhere does that go for ph up as well?? I ask because whenever I add it at the end it goes in cloudy

[@easygrows2699]

Exactly, it has always been like that and it will always be like that. Liquid Silica if using always first, then Nutrients, then Calmag and then pH adjust. To be honest, my tap is exactly the same 7.8 and when i mix GH i have to adjust ph, but with Masterblend 4-18-38 i get around 6.50 spot on, no needs for ph down.

very helpful information. I'm starting to grow my own peppers indoors. currently I'm growing scorpion Trinidad morunga, carolina reapers and some scotch bonnet moa.

[@alejandrogutierrez8330]

Hey Bassmachain how is the indoor pepper growing going?

[@daveborchard2019]

Khang, you didn't mention anything about filtering your hydroponic water. My tap water is about 340 PPM. I heard with hydroponics, the water should be under 20 PPM, and under 10 PPM is considered excellent. I used to use a Zero Water pitcher to filter my water, but that was too much of a hassle, so I bought a Hydro Logic 200 reverse osmosis filter, which brings my 340 PPM tap water down to about 4 PPM to 6 PPM. It takes about an hour to create 5 gallons of filtered water. 15 gallons of water is discarded to create the 5 gallons of filtered water. Do you filter your hydroponic water before adding the nutrients? What is you PPM before adding the nutrients? I heard that if the PPM is too high before adding the nutrients, you can get nutrient lock-out. I also use the Masterblend / Calcium Nitrate / Epsom Salt mix. For tomatoes and peppers, per 5 gallons 12 gm / 12 gm / 6 gm. For lettuce and greens 10 gm / 10 gm / 5 gm. Have you compared using the Masterblend / Calcium Nitrate / Epsom Salt mix to the General Hydroponics liquid nutrients? The liquid nutrients are generally much more expensive than the dry nutrients that requires mixing. If you've compared using the liquid verses dry mix nutrients with growing peppers, what were the results? After filter my water, I've been adding Masterblend, then heat up a large glass of filtered water in the microwave for two minutes, then mixing Calcium Nitrate in the hot water, which dissolves the Calcium Nitrate particles very quickly. I then add the Calcium Nitrate to the 5 gallon mix, followed by the Epsom Salt. From my experience, only the Calcium Nitrate doesn't dissolve very well unless warm or hot water is used. I haven't noticed a salt build up, but I will try changing the order to Masterblend, Epsom Salt, then pre-mixed Calcium Nitrate.

[@KhangStarr]

Wow you're very technical. I don't do any filtering, everything is straight from tap. If it's more difficult than tap water, I will not do hydroponic lol. Yes, I have done some comparison for peppers and I prefer the flora series for peppers, but prefer MB for leafy greens. With the 3 parts, I can adjust more bloom to feed peppers when they are budding, which in my experience, works very well.

[@Rok1900]

if you use silica use it first ,cal mag second (if you dont use silica , then add call mag first), micro , grow, bloom , and after it all settles you adjust ph.

[@asamusicdude]

Khang Starr has gots to be the sure shot!

[@musicmaneman38]

For master blend the correct method of mixing is as follows. Test the ppm of the water first for a base value. Disolve 12g mb in a quart of hot water. Dump it in. Disolve calcium nitrate in a quart of hot water. Dump it it. Disolve 6g Epsom salt in hot water. Dump it in. Mix completely. after 20 minutes or so Then check your pH and adjust to 5.5-6.5.

That is not correct even if GH states it on their website. Trust me, i have been growing all kinds of Plants with these Nutes way before they got popular. The correct order is: Silica, Micro, Grow, Bloom, Calmag, pH Down. If one has individual Packs of Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Sulfate, add the Mag after Bloom mix and wait 5mins, and then add Cal, otherwise you will have dissolving issues with the Calcium.

Khang I have a question. I built a few of the self watering buckets for my peppers. Can I use the mixes you have made in this video to add to the bottom bucket or should I add it to the top dirt? My peppers have really greened up since putting them in the buckets. What would you suggest for fertilizer?

[@KhangStarr]

I suggest sticking to soil based fertilizer to keep it simple and easy. If your plants are looking healthy, don't fertilize yet. Watch for signs and feed only when they need some. My routine is usually once every two weeks. I start with a balanced fertilizer when the plant is in vegetative stage (14-14-14 or anything similar). Once you see bloom, switch to a lower nitrogen fertilizer.

From what I’ve learned, if you want to stick with Masterblend then once the plants bloom you want to cut back on the nitrogen (calc nitrate) by 75%.
