Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Bloom FAQs
What is Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Bloom?
pH Perfect Bloom is the 1-3-4 Bloom component of Advanced Nutrients' three-part Grow, Micro, Bloom base nutrient system. It is used alongside Grow and Micro throughout vegetative development and flowering.
Can I use pH Perfect Bloom on its own?
No. pH Perfect Bloom is one component of the three-part base nutrient system. Use it with pH Perfect Grow and Micro in equal amounts to provide the complete feeding programme.
What is the NPK of pH Perfect Bloom?
Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Bloom has an NPK analysis of 1-3-4.
Do I use pH Perfect Bloom during vegetative growth?
Yes. Despite its name, Bloom is used during vegetative growth as part of the complete three-part system. Grow, Micro and Bloom are introduced together and always remain at an equal 1:1:1 ratio.
Do Grow, Micro and Bloom all continue during flowering?
Yes. During flowering, Advanced Nutrients specifies 4ml/L of Grow, 4ml/L of Micro and 4ml/L of Bloom. Continue the three components together until the crop reaches its final flush.
What order should I mix pH Perfect Grow, Micro and Bloom?
Start with water in the reservoir. Add Micro first and mix thoroughly. Add Grow second and mix again, then add Bloom last and mix thoroughly.
Why is Bloom added last?
Micro, Grow and Bloom contain different concentrated nutrient components. Advanced Nutrients specifies Micro first, Grow second and Bloom last so each component is properly diluted into the reservoir before the next is introduced.
Can I mix Grow, Micro and Bloom concentrates together?
No. Do not premix the concentrated nutrients. Each component should be added separately to the reservoir water, with thorough mixing between additions.
Do I need to shake pH Perfect Bloom before use?
Yes. Shake the bottle before measuring to redistribute nutrient components that may have settled during storage.
How much pH Perfect Bloom should I use per litre?
Use Bloom at the same concentration as Grow and Micro. Begin at approximately 1ml/L of each component during early establishment, increase through 2ml/L and 3ml/L as vegetative growth develops, then use 4ml/L of each component for established growth and throughout flowering until flush.
How much Grow, Micro and Bloom do I need for 10 litres?
At the full 4ml/L rate, use 40ml of Grow, 40ml of Micro and 40ml of Bloom for a 10L reservoir. Add the three products separately rather than mixing the concentrates together.
How much Grow, Micro and Bloom do I need for 50 litres?
At 4ml/L, use 200ml of Grow, 200ml of Micro and 200ml of Bloom for a 50L reservoir.
How much Grow, Micro and Bloom do I need for 100 litres?
At 4ml/L, use 400ml of Grow, 400ml of Micro and 400ml of Bloom for a 100L reservoir.
How much nutrient solution will 500ml of pH Perfect Bloom make?
At the full 4ml/L rate, a 500ml bottle provides enough Bloom for approximately 125 litres of nutrient solution. Matching quantities of Grow and Micro are required to maintain the 1:1:1 feeding ratio.
Does pH Perfect mean I never need to think about reservoir pH?
pH Perfect technology is designed to manage nutrient-solution pH within a favourable range when the complete Grow, Micro and Bloom system is mixed and used as directed. It significantly simplifies routine pH management, although good reservoir management and awareness of source-water quality remain sensible growing practices.
Can pH Perfect Bloom be used in hydroponics?
Yes. The complete pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom system is suitable for hydroponics, including aeroponics, drip irrigation, NFT, flood and drain and deep water culture.
Can pH Perfect Bloom be used in coco coir?
Yes. Advanced Nutrients identifies the pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom system as safe for coco coir.
Does pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom contain banned PGRs?
Advanced Nutrients states that it does not use paclobutrazol, daminozide or other banned plant growth regulators in this product.
