Wait... what? I didnt realize it made a difference. Why water first?
They are very concentrated chemicals, pouring them in the bucket before you fill it with water for the chemicals to disperse in they could react with each other causing precipitation and rendering some of the elements insoluble.
That makes sense.. same would go for any? Sythetic or organic bottled nutes? Or is that specific to synthetic?
Should be for everything, but some chemicals (organic or synthetic) react with each other. Always read the entire label first to make sure there are no warnings. For instance, silicate supplements should always be added first and allowed to disperse for several minutes because they will bind up all your nutrients, making them insoluble and useless.
Cool.. I use roots organic, will have to read labels. I did know about the silica, but wasnt sure how long you had to wait, or really why it needed to be mixed first. Thanks for the info guys.
Good to know re the silicate supplements.
