Nutrients

FloraFlex nutrients are synthetic.

This is for the Foliar Veg or Bloom.

1. Power si 2. Cal/mag 3. V1 or B1 4. V2 or B2 5. Bulky B or Full Tilt (when applicable)

Feed every watering in DWC, rockwool or coco. In soil it depends on what elements are already in the blend.

Most change the reservoir once a week when only using our nutrients, but it could last up to 6 months with agitation to prevent the water from becoming stagnant. 7 days max once incorporating any other additive.

You do not need constant agitation, just a few minutes every 30-60 minutes and/or before irrigation events are best practices.

Yes, just make sure you are adding the parts in the same ratio and are achieving your EC.

Yes, you would need to monitor the EC levels and make sure the additional nutrients are mixed in after completely dissolving the Floraflex Nutrients.

Yes. See our Super Simple Feeding Schedule. linkto it

We do not recommend it, but if you need to get by for a few days use V1:V2 at a 0.5:1 ratio.

If it is still in the bag or a container and has changed colors it is from humidity getting into the bags. It can still be used, we recommend a dry cool environment and of course sealing them so no air gets in.

No, you do not need anything other than the No Cal Mag Full Tilt Schedule.

We do not recommend changing nutrients after week 3 of bloom.

We never recommend a recirculation setup. Drain to waste is pretty standard in Big Ag and commercial grows. Below are a few reasons that make drain to waste the optimal option. 1. pH doesn’t fluctuate as much. 2. Ability to feed a fresh nutrient solution each watering. 3. Less chance of developing root rot. 4. System itself stays cleaner. 5. You are able to flush properly. 6. Better control over what is being fed to your plants. Depending on your growing medium you should only have 2-10% runoff per plant, if that. See our Crop Steering Guides in our How To Grow section of the website.

Silicate is added first, allow it to sit in the reservoir for 5 minutes before adding anything else. Lastly you would mix in the FloraFlex Nutrients in order of our Full Tilt Schedule..

Yes.

Day 15.

Many in soil typically start at a lower strength feed (50-80%), depending on what elements are already in your soil, then decrease or increase as needed based on plant response.

Gauge plant responses, ensure 20-25% runoff and keep an eye on the runoff ph, since you will have less control over drybacks when hand watering. Raise the EC if the runoff pH is drifting more than .5 upwards or you notice deficiencies/light green growth. Decrease EC if the pH runoff is dropping more than .5 of the input and/or you see tip burn.

You may need slightly more or less depending on your starting water.
