The proper way?

Might sound stupid but is there a proper way to mix nutes? I heard from someone that you had to nix em in separate container but they have a massive grow I usually just start 1/4 strength pour into water mix, pour the next additive (cal mag) reason why I'm asking this is because I finished mixing ionic bloom and some cal mag and then I realized I forgot to add the pk boost after I ph'ed. Should I just add the pk boost and re ph the water? Im 3 weeks into bloom and fed its first round of nutes ever.

it is always best to mix the micro nutrients first as they are the least soluble. So mix in your micro and cal/mg first then your other nutes. And yes if u miss a nutrient you should always re-ph your water after you add it as it probably dropped your PH out of the desired range.

And mix each supplement and nutrient one at a time mixing between each one added. PH at the end.

You should do separate yes.. some are fairly insoluble, others will attach to another. For example ca and p will combine to form an insoluble calcium phosphate

Hell yeah, thank you all for the help I just wanted that clarified. I do mix the nute right after I add it but I didn't know that cal mag isn't that soluble, is it all types? I got botinacares cal mag plus. I just ordered some organic unsulphired molasses I'm sure you gotta ph that after you mix right? Haha thanks again

I have never had a problem with liquid nutes mixing, but i have with powders many times. Generally they say to mix the heavier nutes first which are your minerals like cal/mg/iron ect but with liquid nutes i doubt it matters.
