How to Use General Hydroponics FloraGro

Mix FloraGro in combination with other General Hydroponics nutrient solutions to create a custom solution. FloraGro is not intended to be used alone as a complete nutrient solution. The amount of the nutrients should be adjusted to the type and phase of the plants being grown.

Shake the bottle well before using the product. Some of the contents may settle, and it is important to mix them well before measuring.

Measure the correct amount of FloraGro for your specific situation. The amount to add varies by the growth stage of the plant. Use 1/4 tsp. per gallon of water for cuttings and seedlings. To create a mild general-purpose nutrient solution use 1 tsp. per gallon. For plants in the vegetative growth stage, used 3 tsp. per gallon. For plants transitioning to the bloom stage add 2 tsp. per gallon; and add 1 tsp. per gallon for the blooming and ripening periods.

Add each Flora product separately to the solution. FloraGro, FloraMicro and FloraBloom are meant to be used together to achieve the necessary balance for the hydroponic system. Always add FloraMicro first, then stir well. Add FloraGro next, and stir well. Add FloraBloom last.

Check the hydroponic solution with a meter at least once each week. You can measure the conductivity or the parts per million (ppm) to see the charge in the nutrient solution. Discard the solution when the levels fall below those recommended for your specific plants phase. Levels vary greatly by the specific growth phase of the plants, but should usually be between 200 ppm and 1200 ppm.

Replace the nutrient solution completely every one to two weeks, regardless of the meter results. Discard the old solution and replace it with fresh solution. This helps to make sure the balance is optimal for plant growth.
