"Pre-Mixing" GH Flora Series for Convenience?

[Greg_Midi]

Although that method seemed ok as near as I can tell I decided to "mix" them separately; a different container for the three along with Bud Candy in with the bloom. The idea is the same, ie; only need to get the syringes out every other time. This may be near the last time though, I'll pull one plant tomorrow and hopefully the others will be ready soon.

Fwiw I use measuring spoons. Much faster than syringes imo.

You have a photo/link to the ones you use?

So I find that I'm mixing up a gallon of the late bloom every couple of days now, a little tedious. I'm wondering if anyone has tried doing a pre-mix where you squirt the correct amounts of grow, micro and bloom together into a container and then later just pour it into a gallon of water?

Do this into 2 containers. Measure amounts of conc. used if possible, to scale up if mixing more than the 1 gallon as necessary.

Or try pre-diluting the 2 squirts into 1 container of smaller part of water.

I mix in a 5gal jug of Eldorado Spring water as needed, with a high PSI air pump while mixing. It's an old school trick my Pop's taught me. Has been working since '95.
Hope my input helps. Good luck with your grow.

I use the same trick - 5 gallon bucket, a big air pump and a couple of air stones.

Air pump, is that some sort of bubbler?

Yep.

It has worked fer me, when mixing nutrients in 65°F water. Others have many different preferences.
Whatever gives you the best crop, all I wanted was to share what I do.

I am just going to try extended grow dots for the next one. I despise mixing gh flora series.

This is a new hobby for me overall and I got a bit excited watching youtube videos. I'll probably continue with it for indoor plants and try something else for outdoor next year.

This kind of leads to my next question, what do you do with the soil after pulling the plant before using it again, dry it out good, bake it, add something, nothing? Appreciate the help!

I rotate my used soil outside, mix it with "Happy Frog Soil Conditioner," and re-use it for my summer vegetable garden. I don't attempt another cannabis cycle in it ... but that's me considering that there are plenty of people who recycle their soil successfully for another cannabis run.

I do remove all roots that I can but I don't "cook" it in the oven or anything since if you get your soil too hot, you cause it to breakdown and create toxins that are not healthy for your plants.
