- Today we are talking about how to mix hydroponic nutrients for beginners! When I first started to grow hydroponically, this was something that confused me. I hope that I can ease the confusion for some of you. This is specifically for the Flora Series nutrients, but others will be very similar!
Here is a link to the nutrients I use!

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.
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!
@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead he’s correct. ALWAYS add micro first
Yuuuuuuup
Exactly. Out here trying to ruin peoples crops.. :/
Over 19k people got taught how to mix this product incorrectly.
Always do half of what it says on the bottle or you will end up burning your plants. This stuff is amazing just as long as you don’t over do it.
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!
You're Welcome!
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!
Great detail and demonstration👍👍
I'm just starting back out and I'm using your videos to help on which nutrients and how to give them
Thanks for the input
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.
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. 😊
thanks for sharing your knowledge, it can be quite confusing when first starting out expressly when you then have to convert gallons to litters.
You’re welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
Hi, Do I ever need the bloom for leafy greens?
Thank u
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.
but im to broke for a real one
@@swollie5608 save up or talk with Santa in December. Definitely worth the 75 bucks in the long run.
thanks so much for this comment and for listing some good brands. You saved me a $12 mistake and wasting of time, and I was able to go straight for a good one!
@@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.
Yup still got my blue lab ppm meter after 6 years
My plants are in the beginning stage of flowering , how many times should I feed them a day /week?
Any links to the liquid grabber I for for what it was called sorry I need it too
I have a 55, gal drum I need tea for eh 5 gal I'm using a 200cc syringe on how to break down to know the correct measurement using the 200cc. syringe. I just need a refresher cuz I think I stuck 400 cc's build the shrooms up twice to do a 55 gallon so far and I don't want to mess the rest of it up or I'm dumping if I overdid it the 55 barrel. I'm using general hydroponics three different types of liquids. thanks
So once you have created the solution. How do we know how much solution to give out plants? and how often?
My son just bought me a hydroponic grow kit it's 3.8 liters so how much of the mixed solution do I need
How much flora series should I use on 15 ounces of water
How do you do this with hydroponics?
I need help on what to get n what not to get
can i mix 10 gallons worth in a 5 gal bucket and add to 5 gallons of water already in the tub?
I have a 3/4 gallon of water how much ml of solution do I add? And how much of that solution do I add to the plants?
Can i mix bio roots with these?
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.
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.)
What size syringe are you using?
I prepare the fertilizer according to your recommendations and mix them in the same order, I do it in two gallon containers and therefore I have a question, after two days it becomes slightly cloudy, is this normal and will it not harm my plants?
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!
And thank you, I appreciate it!!
@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead o
Can I empty my weekly nutrient water into a bucket and dump that in a raised dirt bed garden? Or is that change out solution no good ?
My water turned back clear after adding ph down is this normal ?
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?
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.
@@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
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!
@@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.
That will happen! That’s half the fun though, figuring out what works best for what types of plants, I love it!
Thanks so much for information
I have a quick question , in my hydroponic I was taught PPM should be around 800-1200. But when I use these nutrients, PPM is way less . Will that still work ?
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.
Salute
Do use ph for every watering
Yes
excellent video but i have one question.Should i wash by water every third irrigation,i mean every forth watering to be only with water or i can go till the end with nutrients only?Thank you in advance
Ok I know how to mix the nutes but how much of the gallon do they get ?
Once the solution is created, is it ready to use or do I have to dilute it some more
Ready to use once you mix it with water!
can I use this to grow outdoors I'm the ground or is it hydroponics only
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.
What do i do when I’ve finally got the pH dialed in but my ppm is way over what I need
Would love to talk to you directly. I am starting to build my hydroponic system and would love your help. Thanks
So the three solutions that you use is that good for like all plants and vegetables like tomatoes peppers green beans stuff like that?
I use these for my pepper plants, but I would use them for pretty much anything!
These stunted my bell peppers. Be careful.
Just wondering if the hydroponic nutrients is organic I would like to order them if they are organic and also the ph meter, forgot to mention also the ph down.
Unfortunately they are not organic! I’m currently looking for a good organic hydroponic nutrient though!
When using Calmg., isn’t that added first?
Yes
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
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.
@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead great thank you, I appreciate your response.. I’m going to seed them in dirt and move them to clay pebbles for the hydro in a grow tent. I haven’t ordered this set up yet, but seems like hugely popular. Thanks again for your help!
No problem! Good luck with your grow!!
I thought the nuts needed to be in order, if not calmag then micro 1st
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
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.
how will u know if u'll need to add more nutrients after a period of time?
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
Can be use this product in soil as well?????
Yep, I do that all the time!
Thanks.
Sea-90 is the best hydroponics solution for growers period. 100% natural and the most productive. I'm farmerlion and I will never miss lead you.
Do you use pH every time you feed ?
He has to otherwise its not worth the mix
Will you be doing a canna series, just wondering
Unfortunately not. Here in Utah… I wouldn’t have a channel very long 😂
Is flora Bloom better than fox farm?
I would imagine they are pretty similar! The flora series is just what I’ve always used, but I do know people that use fox farm with a lot of success! Definitely a lot of good things to say about fox farm in general throughout people I know!
@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead it's probably more expensive. But it's organic or whatever
@@vincecammisano5256 3 part fox farm is not organic. 1 of 3 bottles does have some organic (worm castings for example). I find general hydro great for hydro, but it’s the most expensive way to go, and fox farm way better for soil. Both need to get flushed from soil at times because of salt build up
I do have problems
do you use this mixture with every watering ?
Yep!
@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead thanks
Never dollope use a sureng or dropper cause as he shown you it will bring ur ph down super quick
Always put in Micro first or it will not work.
Everyone examples the mpk, what’s it’s used for why it’s used blah blah we need a video on exactly how to feed, water then wait until dry ? Then feed ? Wait until dry ? Then water again ? How much water ?
Mix in this order:
1. Armor Si
2. CaliMagic
3. Micro
4. Gro
5. Bloom
6. Floralicious
7. Koolbloom
8. Any other additives
9. pH your water
10. Feeeeeeed the girls!
I also use synthetic nutes on a FEED, FEED, PLAINWATER kind of schedule.
Happy growing ! 🤗🤘🏻
This is for Coco/Soil!
Ok so.... if I get this right. I have my system, 5 - 5gallon buckets. if its 4.92ML or 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Per bucket I should be adding 24.6ML or 1.25 TSP. Did I get that right or are my mathematical skills fucking me over once again?
Not citicizing you but....I think your order is wrong ,purple,green,pink is correct.Mix it well and let it sit then mix again in 10 minutes then add the next. I don't think you should clean the syringe in the same water,squirt it in your main so as not to contaminate the syringe and use extra cups to rinse it..
You must be a beginner yourself
GH and happy frog every time...no need to waste money elsewhere
Doing it all wrong bud….
Yes sir if he doesn’t mix things properly it causes things to fall out.
Was123456
Please talk little slowly🥴🤔
This is completely wrong-will potentially cause nutrient lock out if you follow these instructions 😬Micro first and mix, flora and mix, bloom and mix. Rinse syringe between and use separate containers for each or rinse between. This video should be taken down. Terrible advice.
The feeding chart is stupid. Who can measure down to a . anything when it comes to ml. Come on 4.2 ml??? Yeah right.
