Mixing Nutes

[MichiganHooligan]

What's the deal here? I've read a bunch that say to not mix nutes.

I guess if I am feeding the exact same amount over a period of said weeks, what is the issue? I know to flush before feeding to remove excess nutes but I don't understand this logic I guess. What does the plant care of the nutes are combined or given individually? Huh? Huh?! Huh?!!

Huh? I have always mixed my ferts together.

Logically this makes sense yeah? If you start reading about it there are plenty posts advising against it....maybe this is due to a more complicated feeding schedule though?

Never heard that before. The plant will uptake what it needs no matter how you feed it.

Well, you can overfeed and underfeed based on my knowledge.

But mixing Nutes and applying them should logically be no different than mixing them individually and applying them. I guess that's my point of interest.

I generally mix mine.

Your plant will tell you. If it is healthy and thriving don't over think things.... remember it is a weed.

I used FF NPK then House and Garden in flower

I use all FF Nutes and Soils.

At one point I switched from FF trio to Advanced Nutrients products. For me, my plants have never looked better. Although the FF worked well, as have the Nukeheads nutes.

I mix the A & B bloom, their version of cal mag & carbload weeks 1 through 6. Weeks 2, 3 and 4 add Big Bud. Weeks 5 & 6 adds Overdrive. Weeks 7, 8 flush (usually indica that 8 -9 weeks does it...usually)

All in the same container.

That Ocean Forest has became my go to. I keep threatening hydro, but really like the simplicity of the soil.

Plus, since I only veg 4-5 weeks (indicas) I don't bother with the veg A & B, as the OF has enough built in to get mine through veg and just go with Bloom A & B, along with the other additives.

The first 4-5 weeks of veg all watering does use cal mag, I like to hammer them early as it seems to prevent early yellowing in indica like OG Kush.
