Boiling Water

[johnny70]

Does adding boiling water to my dry ferts mix have any adverse effects like rendering the ingredients useless?

Would boiled cool water be better?

Should be ok with the potassium nitrate, potassium phosphate and potassium sulphate but not with the trace mix. Use cold water for the traces.

Ok cheers James, I always have difficulty getting the GH Booster to mix so have been using hot water

Would using hot water be the reason for my trace(Garden Direct ones) not dissolving properly??

Cheers

GH booster should be fine with hot water as it just contains different salts. It's the chelated traces that may cause problems. I find with cold water they dissolve straight away. Always best to add the powdered traces to the water rather than water to the traces.

Again, thank you What I should have said is that even with boiling water the GH Booster doesn't really dissolve :? :? never thought to try with cold water.

Hi,

are you possibly mixing the GH booster too strong/concentrated and reached the saturation point?

Best regards,

When I mixed all my powders into a all in one solution most settled at the bottom too, I have a feed for an air line at the bottom of the bottle, and turned it on, two minutes later they were all mixed up!!
