What order should I add my nutrients and supplements

[NCSmallTime]

Hello everyone I've recently bought a few new supplements to add to my base nutes . I know there's a certain order that should be followed to prevent chemical reactions . I have a 20 gallon hydroponic rdwc setup .last grow I stuck with the basic 3 part flora series by (GH) General Hydroponics and cal-mag . I plan on using

GH Flora series
GH Cal-Mag
GH Floralicious
GH Armor SI
UC Roots
And when I switch to flower I plan on adding GH KoolBloom ( liquid only )

Main concern is when to add cal-mag and the armor si (silica) I know they can negatively interact with each

I can give advice on the Flora series: mix you’re floraMicro in first as concentrated micro and anything else locks the chelates nutrients out in the micro.

Can’t help on the rest sorry!

I add my Cal Mag after A/Bs, and I’ve been adding silica last. No reason.

I've read that you add silica first and cal mag second ... I mixed a gallon last night and when I added silica last it made the water cloudy and turned into a white gel

How much per gallon are you using?

 

[NCSmallTime]

1.5 ml of silica. 3mg of calmag

Silica -> calmag -> base nute -> booster (if in flower) -> sugar (like carbonaria)

Put the Si and Cal/Mg as far apart as you can AND be sure to mix before the last of the two...

One after the other???
Who the hell said that? (besides small time)

NOT a good idea - The two can/will react and create a precipitate that cancels out each other! High school chemistry 101.....You just did that, AND found out what I said is true.

Next point is that if your in soil....The use of Si is basically useless! ANY plant in soil, gets ALL the Si it can use, FROM the soil!!!

You only waste money adding more!

Now in hydro....The plant does not require it to grow but, it's not a bad idea!

BZZZT - WRONG!

See the above...

On another note:
What do YOU think that those extra carbs are doing for you, exactly?

Boosters that contain high P amounts...Not exactly real helpful..
ANY booster that has elevated Mg or K.....STOP at least 2 weeks before the harvest......These chemicals actually REDUCE THC production and limit final THC counts...

There are so many conflicting arguments everywhere. Maybe next grow I’ll change the order.
