General Hydroponics FloraNova Grow 7-4-10, Robust Strength of Dry Fertilizer But in Rapid Liquid Form, Use for Hydroponics, Soilless Mixtures, Containers & Garden Grown Plants, 1-Quart

Very very high concentrate!A little goes a very long way...Start with 1 Tsp per gallon and SLOWLY increase from there. Watch closely for any foliage or leaf tip burning and back off a half teaspoon from there.If You over fertilize with this product Your fruits will fry and Your plants will die.If You use as directed and pay careful attention to Your plants You can realize AMAZING results with this stuff.I would advise a feeding schedule that also includes FloraNova Grow right up until harvest, just a mild solution to keep foliage green.Once leaves turn colors they no longer photosynthesize, so give just enough FloraNova Grow to keep leaves green while FloraNova Bloom as heavy as the plants can tolerate.NO NEED TO FLUSH THIS STUFF!!!Fertilize until harvest and just use fresh water 24 to 48 hours before picking fruits.This product is so well suited to the plants requirements that if You're feeding all they can eat then there are no leftovers building salt caverns in Your fruits or roots!This isn't Your mom's miracle grow, which is as close to poison as a plant will grow in, this is an exceptionally pure and well made product that all but excludes the need for ANY other product.Short answer:If You only had FloraNova Grow & FloraNova Bloom to feed Your crops, and You follow the labels, You could conceivably grow ANY fruit or flower to it's fullest potential from seed to harvest without adding any other man made product.PERIOD.BUY IT!A little goes a long way, so buy the pint if You only grow as a hobby, shake very well, cap tightly and store in fridge, but NEVER FREEZE.For just a few dollars more You can get twice the amount of product in the Quart size, and it will keep in the fridge for years & years so fear not of wasting it.Happy Gardening!!!

FloraNova Bloom is a great nutrient for my passive hydroponic garden. I use 8ml per gallon of water in 5 gallon buckets with 100% perlite...feed the plants 4-5 times a week. Each plant bucket has a 1/2" hole drilled 2 inches from the bottom to create a reservoir. The hole acts as a drain so you can't overwater the vegetables and you can flush the reservoir when needed. They are called "Hempy Buckets" and work great for most vegetables as well as cannabis. You don't need anything other than FloraNova Bloom and water, although you can supplement with other additives for additional benefits such as cal-mag or Floralicious Plus...but just FloraNova Bloom works just fine by itself.

This product has far surpassed my expectations.This is my first try at doing hydroponics, and I'm using a 5 gallon dwc bucket. I've been following the Lucas method, using simply this with my tap water (which is at 120 ppm).It's a bloom forumula, but it works wonderfully throughout veg too. You really don't need anything else. Additives may help, but this formula is certainly complete, and thus far the plant has thrived better than most of my soil grown plants. No deficiencies to speak of. Just lush fast growth.A few pointers for fellow hydro novices that I've been following with success:1. Shake the bottle. Shake it again. Shake it even if you're not using it at the moment. The stuff is so incredibly thick and it does tend to separate, so shaking it will ensure that the intended nutrient balance is given to your plants. A good 3-5 min of shaking usually does the job.2. Get a TDS meter and know your source water. I have 120 ppm in my tap water, which seems just fine. I add this food to the water until it gets to my target level. I don't subtract the initial ppm from the total either. (I.e. if I'm shooting for 1000 ppm, I go for 1000 ppm total, including that original 120)3. Adjust the pH of your source water before adding the nutrients. It's buffered and will usually hold whatever you set it to for a long time. Adjusting the pH first means you wont have to add highly concentrated adjusters that may potentially force some of the salts out of solution.4. Keep the temperature of your reservoir 60-70 F. This is very important. Temps lower than that will make the plant grow slowly, or even die. Temps higher than that cannot hold enough oxygen and suffocates the plant. That's not to mention the opportunistic parasites that will attack your roots in a low oxygen environment.5. Change out and clean your reservoir every 1-2 weeks.I'm so impressed that I think I'll try some additives like Floralicious Plus, and/or KoolBloom.
