with a 2 part solution style nutes, can you pre mix them to a ratio and just feed by ppm?

i was thinking of switching from gh floranova. the last two grows have been kind of shitty...not sure why. it's been great for years. maybe my bottle is old now. it was a big one.

No you have to mix them in water. If the concentrations are high they will be come useless if you mix them with out water. That's why they are a two part

No, you have to dilute them in h20 first otherwise certain things can precipitate out of solution

usually the calcium reacts with magnesium and creates non solubles that plant cant eat. thats why you have to mix them in water soo they bind to the water first create different compounds then add the second part that will not react same

I am just trying to see if there is a way to use it simply. i don't measure volumes, just ppm which is easy with the single veg nute floranova solution. floranova usually works, but i keep getting a magnesium deficiency (yellowing the outer edges of the leaves) which i never really got unti recently. i though i got it from low ph, but i fixed that and test before each feeding. so, it's no ph. the bud is still good with the bad leaves, but my posts look like shit.

I think somebody already mentioned it, but just run Maxibloom. Dry one part that is pretty much fuck up proof.

when it works with the koolbloom i get crazy yields (40 to 50g per sqft). i've tested it in the same grow setup with the same strains over multiple runs. i can't tell if its the nutes or something else. it's worth trying something else to see if it's the nutes though...might have to do the maxi. do you run boosters with the maxi?

why is everybody promoting nutes?
dude asked if he can mix his nute that he owns not if he should stop using it and buy a new one.

i guess you can premix with water i usually mix mine in a 10x amount in a Liter of water but i use it same day... but then again i am curently growing and i didnt change nutes for over a month if that means anything....
