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!

  1. 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?

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

  3. 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!

  4. Hello. Beginner here. Trying to start with lettuce.
    Quick Google Search says Lettuce takes around six to eight weeks to harvest

    For how many days should I use "Cutting and Seedlings" measurements
    When should I move to "General Purpose – Mild Vegetative" measurements
    When should I move to "Transition to Bloom" measurements
    When should I move to "Blooming and Ripening" measurements (If this even applies to lettuce)

    Where can I find specific guidelines for each stage of growth? On which day or week am I suppose to switch up to the next measurement?

  5. Someone else had like 13 bottles of nutes. Is this brand covering all those marks like cal-mag etc or is this a simple baseline to start with for beginners. Asking for a beginner hydro grower 😅

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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 ?

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

  13. 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 ! 🤗🤘🏻

  14. so once you mixed then what? How are you adding to your DWC system? I assume you are not making 5 gallons of nutrient mix! There must bea chart somewhere of how much of your pH adjusted gallon of nutes is added to your main containers.

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

  16. 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?

  17. When I wonder about is the reservoir how often do you change the water or you just add nutrients and pH check

  18. 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 ?
