I've always used a Magic Bullet blender to mix all three chemicals at once in about two cups of water, then add that to a gallon water. It's always worked fine for me. Is there any problem with mixing the three chemicals that way?
Master blend 4l18l38 main source of potassium is potassium chloride which, has the highest salt index of all fertilizers, the chloride can damage & burn plants once it builds up in the soil, especially if growing in containers that don't get flushed, it's the cheapest potassium source in the cheaper fert blends, tomatoes seem to like it but I'd not recommend the 4/18/38 blend for other plants depending? MB makes a 0/12/24 formula with potassium phosphate, potassium sulfate as K source, much better product, no excess chloride. Use it with CaNo3 & MgSO4,. It's a cheaper alternative to Jacks fertilizer 3 part
I just received my first 25lbs order of Master Blend fertilizer kit. I also have an 2.5 gal EZ-FLO fertilizer injector setup on my drip water system that waters 8 @ 2'x6' raised garden beds. The Master blend instructions on the package are for hydroponic growing, where the plants have constant and full access to all the benefits of the Master Blend fertilizers directly to their roots. Where in a standard garden bed the drip irrigation drips on the soil and is absorbed and or partially evaporates as the sun helps it dry up. I was wondering how to mix the Master Blend products for an in ground / raised bed / drip water system using a 2.5 gal fertilizer injector?
I mix it the same way but I don't water daily or weekly when it rains. If you plan a regular watering interval I'd go half strength. Then go up from there if needed.
I've found the calcium nitrate that comes with the kit is lower quality than what you can buy online. I only noticed when I knocked up a stock solution and had a bunch of residual crap left in the bottom.

What to do if my pepper is growing and growing 😅? Should I reduce part c (calcium nitrate) ? Bu half?. I am a victim of my own success 😂
Lol, grow less of them, we do have that trouble as well, we grow 1 habenero and get 100 peppers.

Apparently the calcium nitrate, step 3, can cause nutrients to bind up doing it this way. I have tried it and can confirm I've seen it.
Is this ok for sweet potatoes, as well? And i should use this for my tomatoes and peppers every time I water?
I use it every time I water and have yet to find a plant that doesn't like it.
Thank you!
Thanks! Good mixing tips!
You're welcome!

Thanks for sharing, I've thought about Jack's as well but right now it's not broke here so I don't want to change anything.

Maxibloom powder i mess with. But always wanted to try this
I used to use the maxi series and had good luck with it, this ones been a bit better overall.
Thank you sir.
You're welcome Ron, enjoy the much needed rain.
Can this just be poured onto the plant from a watering can?
You bet it can! And you'll get the benefit of foliar feeding.

That's good information thanks for sharing your experience.
