Flora Series General Hydroponic Feeding Chart
FloraSeries®
Advanced Nutrient System General Hydroponics
The original three-part nutrient system
The O.G. 3-Part Hydroponic-Based Nutrient System
More than 40 years ago, when the other guys were still in grade school, our scientists were hard at work with a mission: to give growers a consistent and precise way to feed their plants through every growth phase. First formulated in 1976, FloraSeries® is the original 3-part hydroponic-based nutrient system consisting of FloraGro®, FloraBloom® and FloraMicro®. Good things really do come in threes.
Plant Nutrition for Every Growth Stage
By using different combinations of FloraGro®, FloraBloom® and FloraMicro®, you can help fulfill your plants' nutrient needs at every stage of growth in all kinds of environments, for happy plants from seed to bloom. Adjust how much and when you use each to create your own personal recipes. Then grow knowing your nutrients are optimized to deliver the primary, secondary and micronutrients that push serious growth and brag-worthy blooms all season long.
Beautifully Balanced for Big Growth
FloraSeries® is formulated to help feed the right minerals, in the right ratios, to help plants flourish. Each formula is carefully proportioned for balanced nutrition. Too much or not enough of a particular element in a plant's diet can lead to deficiencies and toxicities. We work to ensure FloraSeries® provides proper balance by batch-testing our products in a state-of-the-art lab with tight quality control.

FAQs
- Why are there three parts to the General Hydroponics FloraSeries® nutrients?
- Can you explain the purpose of each component of the FloraSeries®?
- What is a general purpose nutrient recommendation?
- How do I mix the FloraSeries®?
- Which comes first when mixing FloraSeries®, Armor Si™ or CALiMAGic™?
- What is the shelf life of the FloraSeries® nutrients?
- Is the FloraSeries® organic?

The concept behind FloraSeries® is simple: Different kinds of plants have significantly different nutrient needs, and these needs change during each plant's growth cycle. By using different combinations of FloraGro®, FloraBloom® and FloraMicro®, the grower is able to fulfill the exact needs of the plant at each stage in the plant's life cycle. As the crop grows, the grower is able to precisely adapt the nutrient formulation to meet the crops changing needs.
-
In hydroponics, the plant roots are constantly provided with all the water, oxygen and nutrients they need. The challenge for the grower is to keep up with the plants needs, and to avoid damaging it with either excesses or deficiencies of minerals. As a general rule, a plant consumes more nitrogen during the formative or vegetative stage, and more phosphorus, potassium and magnesium as it flowers.
Throughout its growth cycle, the plant will also consume calcium, sulfur and micro nutrients such as iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum and copper.
FloraMicro®, the foundation or "building block" of the FloraSeries® system, provides nitrogen and calcium as well as trace minerals, which are essential for a comprehensive hydroponic plant diet. By adding FloraGro® to FloraMicro, the plant will receive additional nitrogen and potassium, which stimulates structural and foliar growth. To stimulate flower and fruit development, FloraBloom® is added to provide the necessary phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and sulfur.
-
The proper ratio of each FloraSeries® nutrient depends on the crop and the stage of growth (look on the label for specific recommendations for different crops). However, as a rule of thumb we use the "1-2-3" ratio:
- For seeds, cuttings, or delicate seedlings use 1/4 tsp. of each nutrient to 1 gallon water
- For the vegetative stage of growth use 3 tsp. FloraGro® to 2 tsp. FloraMicro® to 1 tsp. FloraBloom® to 1 gallon water
- For late vegetative to pre-bloom stage use 2 tsp. of each nutrient to 1 gallon water
- For bloom initiation to ripening stage use 1 tsp. FloraGro® to 2 tsp. FloraMicro® to 3 tsp. FloraBloom® to 1 gallon water.
-
Always start with a reservoir filled with water, then add the concentrated nutrients one by one.
Never mix the nutrients together in their concentrated form, as this will cause nutrient "lock-out" making some minerals unavailable. It is best to begin by adding FloraMicro®, stirring well, and then adding FloraGro® and/or FloraBloom®. If both FloraGro® and FloraBloom are used, add one, stir well, then add the other.

-
- When using both Armor Si™ and CALiMAGic™, add Armor Si™ to the reservoir first.
- When using Armor Si™ and/or CALiMAGic™, with FloraSeries®, these products should be added prior to adding FloraMicro®.
-
Properly stored (cool environment, out of sunlight, sealed container) they should last indefinitely.
-
Only crops grown from unrefined minerals are recognized as "organic". The trouble is unrefined minerals do not dissolve well for hydroponic use and some of these unrefined minerals contain quantities of impurities, some of which are toxic to plants. For that reason, FloraBloom®, FloraGro®, and FloraMicro® are made from high quality refined minerals. This ensures high quality crop production, but prevents the crop from being considered "organic".
