GH Rapid Start Question...

[mwallace]

Never tried it before, just opened up my first bottle, and when I poured it into a jug of water, some of it dissolved, but some of it stuck together with the globular consistency of egg-drop soup. Is it supposed to do that?

 

[go go kid]

did you shake it well b 4 you opened it

 

[mwallace]

Not really, should I have done that?

Shake any liquid nute well before using. No it shouldn’t have poured like that.

Thanks; glad I dumped it. The more I read on here, the closer I get to stripping my nutrients down to the GH Trio, and skip the extras.

Thank you for that! How much do you recommend I use?

i use 1 gram per gallon of water. and if you ever have a Mg deficiency, 1 tbsp per gal is great for a foliar spray

silica is also a good additvie that isn't snake oil too.

Outstanding. I'll keep the silica and cal/mag, but get rid of the floralicious plus and florablend. Sound about right?

I'd use the floralicious plus (mostly kelp extract) if you already have it, but in the future I'd replace it with a good clean kelp extract, like Age Old Kelp or Neptune's Harvest kelp-both of those test below detectable limits for arsenic, which can be a major problem with kelp.

i've never used either one of those. so i'd defer to what others say about them.

Which nutrients you recommend?
