Using nutes designed for soil?

I have a whole load of Canna Terra Flores, Canna Terra Vega, and PK 13/14. These are designed for soil but would it be OK to use them in a drip system instead, surely they can't be that much different to hydro nutes are they?

thanks!
 
You cannot use nutes designed for soil in Hydro. There is some sort of way it's made that doesnt release all the nutes into the water and it just doesnt work. Get a good double pack of Hydro nutes on EBay or a local hydro store with reasonable prices. . I got GH Flora Nova Grow and Bloom and they work out really well without breaking the bank. Hope this helps!
 
Most soil fertilizers are incomplete. Hydro nutrients contain a broad spectrum of trace minerals and supplemental nutrients beyond NPK. While you can typically use hydro nutrients in soil, soil nutrients alone are rarely acceptable for hydro.

I believe your nutrients could work well, they appear to be a complete fertilizer when mixed properly.
 
Teatreeoil havn't seen you in awhile. Good growing? Definately right. There are no supplemental nutes in garden ferts. I tried it and the plants went yellow in no time. Then switched to Dutch Nutrient Formula and back to green. Its all in the trace chemicals not just the 3 numbers on the front.
