Why can't Nutrient Companies just combine all indgredients into 1?

I'm guessing it's either just a wat 4 them to make $, or it's because of a potential reaction being built up inside a bottle......
I'm a noob to all of this and just started looking into nutes today. After twisting my mind for 30 min. on all of the cocktails you can feed your plants, I just went with Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. My plants are just starting to flower, so I won't use grow big, which I also bought for future use. Anyways, is this enough nutes for my lowryder#2xAK47's?

Thanks:mrgreen:

Col.Forbin.... Yes, the nute companies just love breaking them into parts to make more dough, no denying that.
.
The Tiger Bloom & Big Bloom will work for you, just start out at half the recommended mixing strength and only feed every 8 to 10 days, with LR2 x AK-47 or any other autoflowering strain for that matter.....
.
Does having the nutes in parts have any advantages: Yes, it makes them a bit more tuneable......
.
Feed a little more N during veg, and less N / more P during flowering. Having the split numbers does make this easier....so that's why these companies stay in business and why most buy their products......
.
Psss.... High N Bat Guano & High P Bat Guano...are cheapier and work great...... read the " Making Tea is EZ & cheap " thread....
.
Hope this helps......
Keep it Real....Organic

It has nothing to do with making more money and everything to do with how different ingredients break eachother down if stored long term in bottles together. The products wouldn't last or work as well, simple as that.

all of the boave :) more expensive, stable in storage, and like with my somerfield spagbog, i can either stick that crap in a saucepan and cook away, or i can pick and chose exactly what spices herbs and extra's my boglonese has by using ingreients instead of pre-mixes :)

OhSoGreen is absolutely correct and by the way please read his thread. Roll a nice one and start at the beginning, just be ready to spend some time reading and taking notes it will really help you. I am sure that storage and shelf life are a basic reason for the splits with the chem companies but profits figure into more than anything. Going organic will save you money, make your plants healthier, give you better tasting smoke and better for your soil. Since your plants are flowering you don't really need much N now but you need more P to give them their final boost. I suggest not spraying anything on their buds to assist just go with the soil application of your nutes, keep the flowers clean as possible since this what you are going to be smoking, if outside the rain will keep them clean, inside use plain water and spray every couple of days to keep them happy.
