can i mix nutrients in this for plants

Although I haven't, I can't imagine why you couldn't (as long as they're dissolved in the water you place in the reservoir). FYI I think this product works great!

I think you can. It's a very simple design with one solenoid valve. Be sure that whatever you use isn't the type that would clog up small tubing. Liquid fertilizer would be by far the best. To be sure, check wit the manufacturer.

The pamphlet that comes with the product states to put nothing but water in the container.

depends what kind of nutrients. They packaging doesnt say anything about nutrients but in my experience it's not the best to slowly feed plants over a long period of time. youd be better off feeding once a week/month.

Nope, if you place any sort of nutrients, fertilizers or the like they will clog the machine. Only purified water can be used in this.

The instruction booklet says "Do not add liquid fertilizers to the water in the tank. If necessary, add liquid or granular fertilizers directly to the soil in the pots."

It is not recommended in the manual. But I personally do not see any problems with very fine liquid nutrients or fertilizers.

yes. you can put the plant and the soil directly into this pot. that is exactly what I did. this is actually a self-watering pot so in order to take advantage of this feature, you would need to plant directly into the pot.

Yes, I don't see why not. But, I have a large collection of cactus and succulents and I use plant food specially formulated for them.

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.

This isn't really hydroton but yes you can mix it with soil to aid in aeration. I've done this before on plants of all kinds with great success. Just be sure to water slightly more often because the soil will dry out faster due to added aeration. I suggest a ratio of .25:1 to 1:1 (pellets:soil). You can also put them on top of the soil to act as a mulch (works great with tomatoes) and at the bottom of the pot for added drainage.

the nutrients really come out in the steeping process. if you ground it in a spice grinder or bullet blender first, you might be okay. but it's too hard to process fully in a standard blender.

No need to get super technical. Just pull a sample out with a cup and test it.. But honestly, you need to change ALL the water every two weeks anyway, so just set it at 5.8 AFTER you mix your nutrients in it, put the lid/plant back on the reservoir and leave it alone for the next two weeks.. The water that is.. Rain mist the plants with a water bottle daily (I put a light nutrient mix in mine) and you're golden.. Trust me

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way. It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

Absolutely! Just follow the directions on the side of the container. You'll want to add the full container to a relatively empty tank and then fill the tank up which helps it to mix.

I would think so. I usually mix up whatever I have in a separate container and pour it into the sprayer but I think you could mix it up in the sprayer if you so desired. Hope this helps.

You are not supposed to mix them. They are complete individually. If you are transitioning between grow and bloom, you could use 1/2 the amount of each to get a mix of the two

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

If you have the liquid in the little packets, just mix one packet in with a little water, then add directly to the water in the aerogarden. Couldn't be simpler. You do it when you start your seeds, then again each time the indicator light goes on telling you to add the nutrients.

I asked the guy who installed my softener and he says is ok to mix. And yes you can use it in feeder

You can buy a hose applicator or you can mix 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and water plants. It comes with a measuring spoon and directions on box. Tomatoes need calcium so you may have to add some of that to the plants also.

You will need other fertilizer as well. This is just micro-nutrients. I use it instead of the kelp meal/azomite in this formula: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/complete-organic-fertilizer-zebz1309znsp.aspx?PageId=2#ArticleContent

Yes. But this is used in a 3 part series. Theirs grow, bloom, and micro which are all used at the same time but mixed in the water separately. U can't mix them together as one. It's designed for hydroponics solutions. Though you can use this in dirt to. It's a concentrate so it needs to be mixed in with water depending on what time of growth your in.
