What do plants need??

[Martin cape]

Hi everyone.

I am new to fertilisers etc for the plants. I will be injecting CO2 soon and adding Magnesium Sulphate, Calcium Chloride and Sodium Bicarbonate to increase water KH and GH to 5 degrees.

At that point I will only have Sera Florena fertiliser which I think doesn't have much in it.

Could someone please tell me what nutrients I need. I don't mind making stuff up myself, actually prefer it. I just don't know what I need or how much.

Thanks guys.

A very popular choice is this stater pack Starter Kits - Dry Chemicals - Fertilisers
