Ran out of Nitrate

[Gfish]

Hi all,
I dose

MgSo4
Trace
Kh2Po4
KNO3

I've ran out of KNO3. I've just done my water change and could have sworn I have another bag of this!
So my question, would the plants (all slow growers) do ok with the other ingredients until about Thursday????

Thanks

Gavin

what is your tap water nitrate figure? Your plants should be ok for a few days, you could decrease lighting if you are worried.

Thanks Darren.

I think I'll add the other stuff and knock my lighting down from 8 to 4 hours.
Not sure what our local tapwater is like for nitrates but I do have a healthy fish sticking so I'll feed em well and instruct the Missus to do so while I'm away too
KNO3 is good, but ya can't beat the real thing huh? Lol
Cheers

Yes, you can. Feeding well causes pollution. KNO3 does not.

That's what the nitrate haters seem to forget.

Cheers,

"The nitrate haters" I love it
