Does adding a whole bunch of nutrients to water lock each other out?

What is the best way to mix up organic nutrients so the plant can absorb it? Is it good to combine N, P, K and cal mag together in a mix or would it be better to separate for diffrent feedings. Like nitrogen, potassium and cal mag one feeding. Phosphorous, molasses next feeding? I read that P flocculates with calcium when combined together. What does that mean? Is it bad to combine P and Ca together??

With organics I doubt it, in elemental or "chemical" form certain elements can "stick together" but by the nature of large organic molecules you should be fine.

-Always add cal mag first. This will help avoid lock out.

-Mix silica with a gallon of water before adding. The cloud you see with silica IS lockout

-Mix everything WELL for a minute or two before adding the next (?add?) to your mix

so add silicon first, then cal mag, then the rest?
