Thank you for so very much for your support!
What a great idea about the agitator. I never thought of it before. I'm going to try your method.
Awesome tip! I just dropped a ball in each, huge difference!
I always put 5 or 6 3/8" nuts in the bottle , works Awesome!!
been using those 2 for 10 years now and i also use 5 ml cal mag per 1 gal and leaves are perfect
What soil did you use?
Thanks! I would have underestimated how thick this stuff is.
I love FloraNova. The General Hydroponics Micro, Grow, Bloom is good too.
Which has better results?
@@tonybologna139 similar results , but FloraNova is a 1 part nute , 1 for veg and 1 for bloom and you only mix once during transition phase from veg to bloom , the 3 part GH stuff is more customizable due to the 3 parts
totally doing this. omg thank you. such a simple idea but a huge fix .
a couple of clean rocks
Fantastic idea. Thanks for thinking for me
You could stop in at the local hardware and get 2 or 3 half inch nuts and toss them in. They don't need to be marbles.
Stainless nuts would work, heck you could even use the bolt.
🤣👍🏽
Marbles would be a safer agitator for the plants vs steel and you could leave glass marbles inside the container for the life of the bottle. And yes some spray paint bottles have marbles instead of steel balls.
Da SuitMan Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal. Hence the reason it is used for cookware, flatware, medical devices, etc.. Stainless steel works just fine and they won’t break or shatter like glass marbles. Also, be sure your marbles are lead free, not all aren’t. But, you’re correct, they may be a cheaper alternative.
I like where you’re going with this. Marbles would be even cheaper! And glass is neutral so it makes sense!
Great idea. I'm finding deficiencies when I use it. I literally shake the fuck out of these bottles. I'll try this. Thanks
@@HowlingFarms that is usually true, but when using more corrosive or salty liquids, the type of stainless steel can sometimes be important. You're probably fine, but for the Hell of it I'd go for one with Molybdenum in it (316 Stainless as opposed to 304)
Marbles have been known to contain a high amount of lead
I got me some floranova and a bunch of ball bearings enough for all my newts on any brand. Great idea thanks a lot buddy!
I put marbles in the bottles to help mix it up as I’m shaking them
How many mil of each per gallon of water during flower?
I used GH Grow and Bloom for several grows. I've never had good luck with these product. I've tried the recommended dose and tried variations of it (half dose, quarter dose in between bucket changes) along with using Hydrogaurd and CalMag. Always burns the tips, slow growth, yellow spots. I have found that after about 6 months, the product starts to smell like vinegar, and the pH is on the low side as opposed to when it was first opened up. I also don't like that it stains the roots brown making it hard to tell if there is rot.
Sounds like a you problem
He is not lying..been running exactly same nutrients and my plants love it
It's more cost effective to buy the gallon. Have you tried the bearings in those?
A different approach to mixing Floranova is to use a larger bottle combined with a kitchen whisk, which offers an effective solution.
If you store it right you do not need no agitator. But yes SHAKE VIGOROUSLY. You can also run the bottle under hot water tightly closed ;)
Do you now why my floranova liquid has colour same with the sand but your is more dark brown?
Awesome idea man idk why I didn't do it sooner lol dropping the maxi bloom going back to the nova.
Good idea you , you little genius you
Lucas 4tw. Hundred bottles on the shelf, all I ever needed to buy was 8ml / gal of FloraNova Bloom.
Same here. I got major yields with this stuff chek out my plants i will watch yours if u got any vids of em
This strikes me as a good idea but I've heard that your not suppose to expose your plant or products to metals of any sort. I would assume that you are going to leave those metal bearings in the fertilizer until it is empty. Does this strike you as a good idea and do you think it would cause the fertilizer/plant issues down the road? Thanks
HC Trouble Stainless is not a problem. Essentially stainless is the same as “surgical steel” or medical grade. The balls are always like new when removed. No rust or mineralization to be found.
Wrong...some people actually put plain old nails in soil and the plants benefit from the breakdown. Ive done it in every plant ive owned without issue
good job man\
A 7 minute video to show a message of 30 seconds....
Gotta be thorough
Fact is, any kind of nutrient within reason will do. I use the 3 part General Hydroponics. I have had many successes and more failures. The key is not in nutrients. They all do a good job. Temperature, and humidity is your make or break. Always seek lowest temps and lowest humidity. Your Ph is tertiary, but still important. In soilless just water with 6.3 for the first watering, in soilless, and that sets the substrate for perfection. No problem. And if you do have problems, lower your ppm. Lockout is always because of one of two things. Messed up Ph or overfeeding. Always underfeed. there is no reason to allow your solution to go much over 1200 ppm. To know your values, read your discharge. If it is over 2000ppm you are overfeeding. FloraNova is no better than their 3 part system except for ease of use. And Believe me flora nova is fine, but like the man says, shake it until you are dizzy.
I rather use a marble because I'm trying to avoid rust
I put marbles in my bottle and after the marbles were eaten half away no joke
Glass? No way man.
They really need to work on the dam caps
Glass Marbles is a much better option. Who knows how the nutrients will react with the alloys In the stainless over long term
Can you mix the flora series with the floranova bloom?
Folks rocks are free. Find one, clean it and put it in the bottle
Good👍🌱
Very bad idea. I did this some time ago. Found out the balls were corroded bad after I was done with the nutrients.
i use floranova bloom @1ml/L in veg and 2ml/L in bloom and i got major harvests, 140grams of autoflowers lol
I also bought two bottles of nutrients like yours. Is this okay for growing cannabis? I use a 5 gallon bucket and I don’t know how much ratio I need
😆👍 thank you for teaching
It does work grows it well. Just need the bloom bottle if u need a a nitrogen boost try maybe some botanicare cal mag with it that's the golden recipe man been growing 20 years
acidic solutions like this react with metal. bad idea. maybe some ceramic slingshot BBs are better
What’s better? This or 3 part series?
I have used the 3 part series in the past and found that you can really dial in with the 3 part series. Particularly if you need more Micro nutrients. The problem I ran into was I was always having to order each one at separate times. I switched over to this one and had much less maintenance and more savings in both money and time. I highly recommend this series. If you find you need to supplement, it's easy to buy supplements. With these quart size bottles, I can get 2 - 3 complete grows of 2 - 3 plants each grow. You can try it in the pint size (pretty cheaply) for both with this set: amzn.to/2WlsmZa
@@HowlingFarms do you go with the recommended feeding chart?
Need some advice, my wife and I are having a dispute about adding fish oil to our flora nova...for plants
You can always add some fish oil if you're growing in dirt.
Are you satisfied with the nutrients outcome?
just pour the nova into a large sour cream container and use a electric mixer then cap and repeat
Punky Brewster pouring the thick nutrients into another container and mixing with an electric mixer means you’re wasting nutrients. You won’t be able to reclaim all the nutrients.
@@HowlingFarms Lol.. No I throw out the the flora bottle and use the 1 quart sour cream container as the new storage container. then i mix it like you would mix mortar or paint. then I extract the desired amount and put the lid on for next time. I do like your out of the box thinking on this though.
@@bobby1602 you must cut your floranova bottle open to fully empty it.
Can you mix grow with the bloom for say when the girls are transitioning to flower? I am growing autos this season. I wanted to give them a lite feeding of 1/2 tsp grow and a 1/8 bloom. The guy at the grow shop said not to mix them. Just wondering if anyone knows what's up!
Just don't mix the concentrate, put in water separate agitating between.
I'm mixing grow bloom and micro along with others together
Heb u must be in texas
Quick question Kan i use that flora nova grow with the flora duo a and b or it be best not to??
Bull shit I just started to use this on soil it flipping works perfect, as soonest I started this the plants got super deep healthy green plants and they flipping growing like there is no tomorrow, my opinion if this product is not working for you ,then you doing something else wrong 100%
Interesting comment. How well do you shake it?
@@MorganaDevina80 In my case
I just shake it for 15 to 20 seconds and premixed gallons at time
Do t forget to use proper ph balance water super important bud
I'm sorry but it wasn't helpful at all to my question
This stuff is too acidic and it builds up on everything..
Metal reacts with some Nute ingredients why not use small stones instead ? also leaving the ball bearing in there will not do the Nutes or plants any good.
Ball bearings? Thats your big secret? I weep for humanity.
You can just remove the lid and stir.
Instead of apologizing for the fan, turn it OFF. Duh! It really ruins the video.
