pH stands for potential hydrogen. It is measured on a scale of 0-14 and is used to tell us how acidic or alkaline the water source is. Pure water typically has a neutral ph of 7. The solution is acidic if the pH is below 7 and alkaline if the ph is above 7.

Yes, plants best absorb nutrients grown hydroponically between a pH range of 5.3-6.3.

EC stands for Electrical Conductivity. It is used to measure the strength of the nutrient solution.

Can I use FloraFlex Nutrients with a doser or fertigation system?

https://floraflex.com/fertigation-dosing

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

V1 and B1 contain Calcium. Additional Calcium is not needed. We recommend keeping it super simple with our line, only adding a Silica if you prefer. The more stuff you start to add the more you have to play with the ratios of our nutrients to adjust for the NPK levels of the additives.

Using the 1:100 ratio you would mix 200 grams per gallon and inject at 1% (38ml) per gallon.

67 to 72 degrees fahrenheit.

In concentrated amounts the Calcium from the 1’s and Magnesium from the 2’s will fall out and leave your plants with deficiencies.

Roughly 6 months, it has the same shelf life as a bottled nutrient once it is opened.

Yes, just use the recommended grams per gallon.

Yes, just follow the grams per gallon and your plants should be healthier than ever as our nutrients work better at a higher ratio with no CalMag additives.

Because Calcium is already in parts 1 and Magnesium is in parts 2.

Yes, our nutrients are compatible with all growing mediums. Soil typically requires less EC than hydroponics, 1.6-1.8 is usually a safe range depending on your soil of course.

Not all soil is created equal so it really depends on the soil itself and what elements are available in it etc. Typically starting at a lower EC (1.6-1.8) and adjusting based on plant responses. Many in soil feed nutrients 1-3 times per week with nutrients, and may water more frequently.

Yes, our nutrients can be used in a RDWC setup. It is recommended to do a complete reservoir change out every 7-14 days. A good rule of thumb is to top off your reservoir with fresh water without any nutrients added, and adjust PH in between complete reservoir changes. Users will typically run a lower EC in veg and bloom (1.6-2.0).

We recommend changing the full reservoir at least once every 7-14 days in a DWC or RDWC system. Once a week to match the feeding schedule is optimal.

It is a homogenous mix so it should still be usable once broken up and will dissolve in water with no issues even when hard.

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), plants best absorb nutrients grown hydroponically between a pH range of 5.3-6.3.

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.

Additional CalMag is not needed with our nutrients. But you can run the Full Tilt Schedule at 90% strength when buffering your water with CalMag.

Yes, use 2-3 grams of each per gallon, with a 5.5ph.

Adjust your pH after you hit your target EC.

Yes, you can use enzymes with our nutrients in your RDWC setup, but additional CalMag is not needed

We recommend that your starting water be under 0.7 EC before adding nutrients, an RO system is needed for anything above.

Once the seedlings have sprouted begin using V1:V2 at 2-3 grams each per gallon.

3g each B1:B2 or 1.8 EC.

.75 grams each B1:B2.

We recommend 3 grams of each B1:B2 per gallon.

Extend week 4 of Veg for the extra weeks.

Our Full Tilt Schedules do not need CalMag no matter the starting water EC.

5 grams of each V1:V2 per gallon or 3.0 EC.

1. Coco - 5.6-6.0 pH
2. Soil - 6.0-6.3 pH
3. Rockwool / DWC - 5.5-5.8 ph

Yes, V1 and/or B1 both contain all necessary micronutrients.

Yes, start using the bloom nutrients as soon as you switch to the 12/12 or 11/13 light cycle.

Can I run Full Tilt with other nutrients or is it only compatible with FloraFlex Nutrients?

Full Tilt is our bloom booster that adds size and weight to your flower in the early stages of bloom.

We highly recommend it and it is very popular with all growers.

1. Coco - 5.9-6.2 ph
2. Soil - 6.2-6.5 ph
3. Rockwool / Dwc - 5.6-5.9 ph

Yes, B1 contains all of the micronutrients necessary.

1 hour before the lights are on, or with low light intensity until the leaves are dry.

Yes, 5.5-6.0 pH.

Yes, you can and they love it.

Once every 5-7 days.

Use the Veg Foliar once a week throughout the vegetative stage.

Yes. 5.5 ph.

How often should I use the Bloom Foliar?

Yes, spray the Foliar and feed on the same day.

We recommend spraying 1 hour before lights on or under low light intensity until the leaves dry (less than 400 umol).

Yes, they can be sprayed together, first mix the Silica and then the Foliar nutrients.

1. The Veg Foliar is sprayed onto the plants to help promote faster, healthier plants in the vegetative stage.
2. The Bloom Foliar is sprayed onto the plants to help promote earlier onset of bud or flower sites.

For the first week of Veg Foliar do you spray them every day or just that first day?

Yes, use 1 gram per liter.
