Know before you buy
Yes, Micro is designed as a foundational base nutrient. For best results, it should be used in conjunction with Cutting Edge Solutions' GROW and BLOOM formulas to provide a complete nutritional profile for your plants.
Mixing Micro first prevents nutrient lockout, which occurs when minerals react negatively with each other in concentrated form. Adding it to your water first ensures the calcium and micronutrients are properly diluted before other components are introduced.
No, this product is specifically formulated for soil drench applications. Because it is not water-soluble in the same way as hydroponic-specific salts, it is best suited for traditional soil-based growing environments.
Absolutely. Micro is formulated to support plants from the vegetative stage all the way through the flowering cycle, providing the necessary nitrogen and calcium base for consistent development.
Micro is a highly concentrated liquid formula, meaning a little goes a long way. Always refer to the manufacturer's feeding schedule to ensure you are diluting it correctly for your specific plant needs.
