Here are some instructions for mixing FloraMicro with other nutrients for hydroponics:
Mixing order:
Start with a reservoir of fresh water, then add concentrates one at a time, stirring each one in.
Mixing FloraMicro first: Mix FloraMicro first to prevent it from getting locked out.
Add FloraMicro after calcium sources, and before any bloom supplements that contain phosphorus.
Mixing ratio: The ratio of nutrients depends on the crop and its stage of growth. Here are some general guidelines:
Seeds, cuttings, or seedlings: Use 1/4 teaspoon of each nutrient per gallon of water.
Vegetative stage: Use 1–3 teaspoons of FloraGro, 1–2 teaspoons of FloraMicro, and 1 teaspoon of FloraBloom per gallon of water.
Bloom to ripening stage: Use 1–2 teaspoons of FloraGro, 2 teaspoons of FloraMicro, and 2–3 teaspoons of FloraBloom per gallon of water.
Monitoring pH: Use the included pH Control Kit to monitor and adjust pH levels.
Rinsing: Rinse the container after each use to avoid mixing in concentrated nutrients.
