Too many additives

[hycheese]

Over the last couple of years, I was growing mostly root vegetables inside during the winter and have accumulated too many different additives.

From the list that Campesino posted for coco/perlite, I already have the below;
Armor SI
CalMag
Fmicro
Fgro
Fbloom
Koolbloom
I am missing RapidStart & Diamond Nectar,

I also have full bottles of these; do they have any use in my coco grow? I'm thinking I could use the seaweed extract in place of the Rapidstart?

FloraBlend (0.5-1-1) Vegan Plant Booster, Ingredients: Alfalfa meal, brewers yeast, cottonseed meal, potassium sulfate, rock phosphate, sea kelp and soybean meal.

Floralicious Plus (2-0.8-0.02) - Ingredients: Vegetable protein hydrolysate and potassium sulphate. Also contains non-plant food ingredients: 2% Humic acids derived from micronized leonardite. 20% Sea kelp derived from Ascophyllum nodosum.

FloraNectar Fruit-n-Fusion (0-0-1) -
Ingredients: Magnesium sulfate and potassium sulfate. also contains non-plant food ingredients: Cane Sugar 17.5%, Malt Extract 7.5%, Molasses 5.0%.

Grow More Seaweed Extract - Research and field trials have demonstrated benefits such as improved root development, more vigorous growth, increased resistance to environmental stress and reduced frost damage. Contains naturally balanced chelated trace elements such as boron, molybdenum, copper, zinc, manganese, iron, and cobalt. The natural chelating agents are alginic acid and mannitol.

Lastly, I have a small bottle of SUPERthrive.

Thanks for any info

Hey hycheese
Seems like you are pretty well set up!
Floralicious plus obviates the need for Diamond Nectar. The Seaweed Extract will serve a similar function as RapidStart.
I would still recommend a wetting agent. I use SM-90, which I recommend especially if you are running a drip system.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the info, repurposing what I already have will save some money. I will get some SM90 do you have a recommendation on an amount to use? I am just hand watering.

 

[Campesino]

SM-90 is good for like 8 different reasons. One of them is root development, so you should be good without Rapidstart.
2.5ml/gal all the way from day 1 until the final flush.
It is quite alkaline, so be aware of the impact on pH. It has very little impact on EC.

Rapid start is for root development and contains traces of iron, much like that seaweed extract. Floralicious plus also has around 2% humic acids and 2% soluble nitrogen. Fp will enhance metabolic growth,build root and leaf mass, and facilitates essential oil production. Diamond nectar has no nitrogen and may aid in the uptake of micronutrients, that the micro grow may compensate for. My 2 ¢.
