How to mix these nutrients???

Hey guys,

I have a few different types of nutrients that I need help mixing. I didn't do too well with feeding in my first grow so I'm looking to improve.

I have:
Superthrive - new
GH Floramirco
Organic Iguana juice (bloom) - new
AN Bud blood -new
GH Cal Mag- new
Organic Neem Oil- new

As you can see I've only used floramicro in my first grow.

I'm 18 days into veg and I've fed two feedings of flora micro so far.
I'm using 5 gallon buckets which I just transplanted into 5 days ago.
 
Well, whatever you do, kick all the dosages down from the recommended levels. I wouldn't use them neem unless you need to, it has a very strong smell that can stay with the buds. I would use the superthrive at really LOW doses, because it is crazy strong. And I have never used any AN or GH stuff, so I can't really help you there.

As a good practice, when you mix your soup keep a pen and paper handy. Get your meters ready. And measure everything you can at every step of the mixing process. Make sure that you are keeping your balance. It is always easier to add more than to adjust it later. Keep track of what works and what doesnt.

If you don't have a way to quantify your levels (ec, ph, ppm) then error on the side of caution until your plants speak to you and let you know what they need, if anything.
 
Always mix the micro first when you mix your nutes. Also, it looks like you don't have a dedicated veg or bloom nutrient. Since you have floramicro you might as well also get floragro and florabloom so you have a 3 part nutrient system. It will be a more complete nutrient system then what you currently have.
The budblood you will only use once when you start flowering. Its supposed to induce flowering faster than normal. I've personally gotten pistils showing after 4 days in the past.
Superthrive is good to have but I wouldn't use it too much. There are plenty of threads explaining why on RIU. Basically from what I've read is that it lengthens the flowering period. But I use it all the time for cloning and to perk up any plants that are not doing too well.
Neem is good for bugs if you have them. But if it gets really bad then you will need something else.
Calmag you probably won't use too much unless you have a deficiency or if you use reverse osmosis water. If you use a complete nutrient system you will get enough calcium or magnesium. Tap water has calcium and magnesium so your plant might get enough of it from there too. Just be aware of the symptoms of a calcium and magnesium deficiency so you can use it accordingly.
 
Just make sure you get the NPK right and it should be fine - assume half or quarter strength is all they'll need to start off (which should be interesting given the number of nutrients, hope you're good at maths!)...if its not quite strong enough in something, give it a bit more of whatever is strongest in what they're lacking, but make sure whatever else is in it doesn't tip something else over into burn/lockout territory
