Description
Elite Grow is one part of Flying Skull's three-part Elite base: Elite Micro, Elite Grow and Elite Bloom. The line is highly soluble, non-organic and particulate-free, which Flying Skull notes matters in hydroponic systems such as deep water culture, and it is formulated to deliver nutrients at lower EC/PPM levels. Elite Grow supplies nitrogen and calcium, and it is used in both the grow and bloom recipes. This listing is the 40 lb size.
Guaranteed analysis (18-0-0)
- Total nitrogen (N): 18.00% (14.50% nitrate nitrogen, 3.50% urea nitrogen)
- Calcium (Ca): 16.00%
Mixing (per gallon of water)
-
Basic grow: 1/2 level tsp Elite Micro and 1/2 level tsp Elite Grow. For lettuce, herbs and delicate plants, use 1/4 tsp of each.
-
Basic bloom: 1/2 level tsp Elite Micro, 1/4 level tsp Elite Grow and 1/4 level tsp Elite Bloom.
-
Feed targets: hydroponic and soilless 300-400 ppm (0.6-0.8 EC) in vegetation and 450-600 ppm (0.9-1.2 EC) in bloom; soil 400-500 ppm (0.8-1.0 EC); lettuce and shade plants 200-300 ppm (0.4-0.6 EC).
-
pH: soil 6.4-7.0, hydro 5.8-6.5.
Good to know
- Never mix Elite Micro, Grow and Bloom together in concentrate. Add each one to the main tank separately. You can dissolve the powder in a little water first (Flying Skull's example: 10 tsp in 2 cups of water).
- Flying Skull says 1 lb each of Elite Micro, Grow and Bloom makes up to 220 gallons of nutrient for large, full-sun plants, or 440 gallons for shade plants such as lettuce.
