How To Mix Hydroponic Nutrients For Beginners

How To Mix Hydroponic Nutrients For Beginners

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!

    Please talk little slowly🥴🤔

    Hi, Do I ever need the bloom for leafy greens?



  3. @kelseylynnebarber on June 15, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    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!



  4. @vienta-saydatTV on June 15, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    I’m just starting back out and I’m using your videos to help on which nutrients and how to give them



  5. @hassannasr7565 on June 15, 2024 at 12:09 pm

    Do you use pH every time you feed ?



  6. @lisaamante5384 on June 15, 2024 at 12:10 pm

    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!



  7. @johnrustic on June 15, 2024 at 12:11 pm

    How do you do this with hydroponics?



  8. @kngjermal0t on June 15, 2024 at 12:12 pm

    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



  9. @victorvasquez1739 on June 15, 2024 at 12:21 pm

    I thought the nuts needed to be in order, if not calmag then micro 1st



  10. @vienta-saydatTV on June 15, 2024 at 12:23 pm

    I need help on what to get n what not to get



  11. @hassannasr7565 on June 15, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    Do use ph for every watering



  12. @ankushgugnani09 on June 15, 2024 at 12:29 pm

    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 ?



  13. @BeHappy-hh1ty on June 15, 2024 at 12:30 pm

    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.



  14. @Kentuckyassasin on June 15, 2024 at 12:30 pm

    Would love to talk to you directly. I am starting to build my hydroponic system and would love your help. Thanks



  15. @christalnunamaker3890 on June 15, 2024 at 12:31 pm

    My son just bought me a hydroponic grow kit it’s 3.8 liters so how much of the mixed solution do I need



  16. @dennisbrown6237 on June 15, 2024 at 12:33 pm

    can i mix 10 gallons worth in a 5 gal bucket and add to 5 gallons of water already in the tub?



  17. @drkwoods on June 15, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    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 ?



  18. @geroldwilson-hs5fm on June 15, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    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



  19. @ProperSkill on June 15, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    The feeding chart is stupid. Who can measure down to a . anything when it comes to ml. Come on 4.2 ml??? Yeah right.



  20. @delroyblanc755 on June 15, 2024 at 12:35 pm

    I do have problems



  21. @carlwebbiii6731 on June 15, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    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 ! 🤗🤘🏻



  22. @KoricTheBrave on June 15, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    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?



  23. @MelissaMctavish-di1zx on June 15, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    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.



  24. @countrybarber on June 15, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    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.)



  25. @benniboat4664 on June 15, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    My plants are in the beginning stage of flowering , how many times should I feed them a day /week?



  26. @desperadopharaoh2361 on June 15, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    can I use this to grow outdoors I’m the ground or is it hydroponics only



  27. @joty3100 on June 15, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    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. 😊



  28. @WheelgunsOnWheels on June 15, 2024 at 12:42 pm

    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.



  29. @Arboreal-J on June 15, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    Doing it all wrong bud….



  30. @jonathangarcia2178 on June 15, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    Any links to the liquid grabber I for for what it was called sorry I need it too



  31. @AngryPepper1964 on June 15, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    When using Calmg., isn’t that added first?



  32. @jameswilliford5478 on June 15, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    GH and happy frog every time…no need to waste money elsewhere



  33. @megalepivolos on June 15, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    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



  34. @BeHappy-hh1ty on June 15, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Always put in Micro first or it will not work.



  35. @OscarGonzalez-is9yz on June 15, 2024 at 12:46 pm

    Great detail and demonstration👍👍



  36. @francs5576 on June 15, 2024 at 12:47 pm

    how will u know if u’ll need to add more nutrients after a period of time?



  37. @pacman9669 on June 15, 2024 at 12:47 pm

    Never dollope use a sureng or dropper cause as he shown you it will bring ur ph down super quick



  38. @benniboat4664 on June 15, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    My water turned back clear after adding ph down is this normal ?



  39. @tylergage5719 on June 15, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    What size syringe are you using?



  40. @Androbench on June 15, 2024 at 12:50 pm

    You must be a beginner yourself



  41. @Ahezerith on June 15, 2024 at 12:50 pm

    Ok I know how to mix the nutes but how much of the gallon do they get ?



  42. @meandbae333 on June 15, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    Can i mix bio roots with these?



  43. @davidcrawford6505 on June 15, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    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.



  44. @brianfaulkner5249 on June 15, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    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



  45. @eatsbyray on June 15, 2024 at 12:55 pm

    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?



  46. @70bluesville on June 15, 2024 at 12:55 pm

    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.



  47. @QueenOpposition on June 15, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    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 ?



  48. @user-se6pr5ob6v on June 15, 2024 at 12:57 pm

    How much flora series should I use on 15 ounces of water



  49. @user-ry6sr1cs4x on June 15, 2024 at 12:58 pm
