Home Mixed Hydro Nutes

I was just wondering if i can use a product like EARTH JUICE MICROBLAST MINERALS along with a readly available commercial water soluable nute like SHULTZ or MIRACLE GROW to make up for the micro nutes that run of the mill commercial mixes lack. EARTH GROW claims that it contains all the micro nutes a plant would ever need. If this is true, then i can see no reason why it shouldnt work just as well as the way more costly specialty mixes, and save alot of $ in the long run, not to mention the hassle of ordering online like me, if ya dont have a Hydro store near by. If anyone has some insight into why it wouldnt work, please post. HAPPY GROWING

After alot of research, ive found a few recipes that are guaranteed ta work just fine Tokealoke, miracle grow patio grow mixed 1/2 the regular strength with 1/2 tsp of epsone salt per gallon is a good veg nute, just switch to a higher PK formula for flower along with epsone salt, same mix ratio and add micronutes, thats the only thing ya will have ta buy from a hydro shop, unless ya can find it at a nursery.Here is a all organic hydro recipe...VEG. NUTE, PER 5 GALLON WATER. 2TBLS DRIED EARTHWORM CASTINGS, 4 TBLS HIGH N BAT GUANO, OR 3 TBLS GUANO WITH 1 TBL FISH FLOWER, 5 DROPS SUPERTHRIVE, 1 TSP SOLUBLE SEAWEED POWDER..../....FLOWER NUTE, PER 5 GALL. WATER. 5 TBLS HIGH PK SEABIRD GUANO, 5 DROPS SUPERTHRIVE, 1 TBLS SEAWEED POWDER. There is no mention of adding micro nute to the flower recipee, but im shure i would use it, at least at 1/4 ta 1/2 strength, just ta be on the safe side. I havent tried any of them as of yet, but ya can bett ya ass im goina give it a shot, lol. Hope this helps. HAPPY GROWING, AND SOCK IT TO THE HIGH PRICED NUTE COMPANYS HELLLL YEAH !!!
