The Micro 3 component of the Advanced Hydroponics Dutch Formula three-part nutrient system, supplying chelated microelements and pH buffering throughout the growing cycle.

Advanced Hydroponics Dutch Formula Micro is the third component in the Dutch Formula Grow, Bloom and Micro nutrient system. Rather than being reserved for one particular stage, Micro is used throughout the crop cycle alongside changing proportions of Dutch Formula Grow and Bloom.

The formula supplies a concentrated mix of chelated microelements, helping provide the trace nutrition required alongside the primary nutrients supplied by the complete three-part feeding programme. Integrated pH buffers also contribute to nutrient solution stability.

Dutch Formula is not restricted to hydroponics. The three-part programme can be adapted for hydroponic systems, coco and soil, making it a flexible base nutrient range for growers working with different growing media.

Why choose Dutch Formula Micro?

  • Part 3 of the Dutch Formula system – designed to work alongside Dutch Formula Grow 1 and Bloom 2.
  • Chelated microelements – supplies important trace elements as part of a balanced feeding programme.
  • Used throughout the crop cycle – Micro remains part of the feeding programme through vegetative and flowering stages.
  • Built-in pH buffering – formulated with pH buffers to support stability within the nutrient solution.
  • Suitable for multiple growing media – designed for hydroponics, coco and soil growing.
  • Flexible three-part nutrition – Grow, Bloom and Micro can be used in different proportions as plant requirements change.
  • 10 litre commercial size – a practical format for growers preparing larger volumes of nutrient solution.

What does Dutch Formula Micro do?

Dutch Formula Micro provides the micronutrient element of the Advanced Hydroponics three-part feeding system. Plants require trace elements in much smaller quantities than nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but they remain an essential part of balanced plant nutrition.

Micro is therefore not simply an optional additive for correcting a deficiency. It forms part of the core Dutch Formula feeding programme and is designed to be combined with Grow and Bloom in the appropriate proportions.

The three-part format gives growers more control over nutrition as the crop develops. The balance between Grow, Bloom and Micro changes through the growing cycle, while Micro continues supplying chelated trace elements and supporting nutrient solution stability.

How to use Dutch Formula Micro

Shake Dutch Formula Micro thoroughly before use. Add the required amount to water as part of the complete Dutch Formula Grow, Bloom and Micro feeding programme.

The amount of each Dutch Formula component changes according to the stage of plant development. Micro is typically used at approximately 0.5 to 1ml per litre within the standard three-part programme, with the precise rate determined by the current stage and feeding schedule.

Add each nutrient component to the water separately and mix thoroughly before introducing the next component. Do not mix Grow, Bloom and Micro together in their concentrated forms.

Once the complete nutrient solution has been prepared and mixed thoroughly, monitor and adjust the solution as required for the crop and growing system.

Advanced Hydroponics Dutch Formula Micro FAQs

What is Dutch Formula Micro?

Dutch Formula Micro is the third component of the Advanced Hydroponics of Holland three-part base nutrient system. It provides chelated microelements and pH buffering as part of the complete Grow, Bloom and Micro feeding programme.

Is Dutch Formula Micro a complete nutrient?

Dutch Formula Micro is designed as one component of a three-part nutrient system. For a complete Dutch Formula feeding programme, it is used alongside Dutch Formula Grow 1 and Bloom 2 in proportions appropriate to the plant's stage of development.

When should I use Dutch Formula Micro?

Micro is used throughout the growing cycle rather than being limited to either vegetative growth or flowering. Its dosage is adjusted as part of the wider three-part Dutch Formula feeding schedule.

How much Dutch Formula Micro should I use?

Micro is typically used at approximately 0.5 to 1ml per litre as part of the Dutch Formula programme. The required amount changes according to the stage of plant development, so it should be measured alongside the corresponding Grow and Bloom rates.

Can Dutch Formula Micro be used in hydroponics?

Yes. Dutch Formula is designed for hydroponic growing and can be used to prepare a balanced mineral nutrient solution when Micro is combined with the appropriate Grow and Bloom components.

Can Dutch Formula Micro be used in coco?

Yes. Advanced Hydroponics states that Dutch Formula can be used across different substrates, including coco.

Can Dutch Formula Micro be used in soil?

Yes. The Dutch Formula range is suitable for soil as well as coco and hydroponic growing. The feeding strength should be adapted to the growing medium and crop requirements.

Does Dutch Formula Micro contain chelated micronutrients?

Yes. Advanced Hydroponics describes Micro as a concentrated nutrient mix containing chelated microelements together with pH buffers.

Can I mix Dutch Formula Grow, Bloom and Micro concentrates together?

Add the required nutrients separately to the water, mixing thoroughly between each addition. The concentrated components should not be combined together before dilution.

What are Dutch Formula Grow 1, Bloom 2 and Micro 3?

They are the three components of the Advanced Hydroponics Dutch Formula base nutrient system. Grow 1, Bloom 2 and Micro 3 are used in changing proportions to tailor the nutrient solution as plants progress through vegetative growth and flowering.
