s/h help!!

I bought some hydroton and some fertilizers made by advanced nutreints called Bloom, Micro and Grow. I was wondering which one I chould add to the hydroton while it is soaking.Has anybody ever sued these and does anybody know which one should be added to the hydroton while it is soaking?

Sorry I am not familiar with that line of fertilizers so I am not much help. I too would recommend reading up on Ray's website and see if you can pick out the one that is closest to what he recommends for a pre-soak.

here are what each of them contain:
Bloom 0-5-4:available phosphate 5%
soluble potash 4%
magnesium 1.5%
sulfur 1.5%

Grow 2-1-6: nitrogen 2%
available phosphate 1%
soluble potash 6%
magnesium 0.5%

Micro 5-0-1: nitrogen 5%
soluble potash 1%
calcium 5%
cobalt 0.0005%
iron 1%
manganese 0.05%
molybdenum 0.001%

Does this help out with which one I should add to the hydroton while its soaking?

My final soak is in KLN, a rooting hormone not a fertilizer.

[Ray]

Agreed. Do not add fertilizer to the soak water.

Okay! I will be potting a Slc. jungle beau into s/h tomorrow! I will keep you guys updated! Oh and Ray I was thinking of mixing equal amounts of my micro(5-0-1) and bloom(0-5-4) fertilizers( the ones I listed above) to make a 5-5-5 fertilizerr would this work?

[wgama]

I have some rooting hormone powder for cuttings could I add a bit of this to the hydroton while its soaking?

wgama,

that is a three part fertilizer program. You use all three parts in various amounts depending on what stage of growth your plants are in. To use it as a balanced fertilizer, use equal amounts of all three parts. Follow instructions on side of bottles, or check out the website, and use hydroponic ratios.
