Strange reaction, whats up?

Hi Guys/Gals

Last time I mixed the nutrients I've got, I started with the Canna a, then Canna b, then H+G Roots Excelurater. Day after put a teaspoon of horticultural epsom salts (not enough, I've found out) into 110-120 litre resovoir. poured it into a glass cafetier to dispense it from and noticed
a lot of particles suspended in the water.

Any ideas? Will it harm the plants?

Since then I've got cal/mag supplement, Canna rhizotonic and pk 13/14.

What order should I mix them in? I know to leave the pk 13/14 til week 4/5 of flowering but still, when it comes to it, at what stage does it go in during the mixing process?

Thanks to all for looking.

Roll on

Personally here's what I do.

I use AQUA VEGA, ZYM and RHIZOTONIC with Ca and Mg. I also use silica but for this I will leave it out.

First I add my Ca and Mg.

Allow 10mins for mixing and settle.

Then RHIZOTONIC allowing again 10mins.

Then ZYM wait 10.

Then A wait 10.

Then B wait 1 hour.

Then adjust pH.


It could have been your Epsom salts if you didn't add them to warmish water.

Or

Did you check pH of solution, as above 8 can cause precipitation of nutrient elements becoming suspended as particulate sometimes able to be seen by eye.

Thanks for the pointers Jondamon, I figured it was the epsom salts, cos as you said, I didn't dissolve them in warm water first, flaming numpty!
Haven't added them since and no problem.
