What does FloraFlex V1 do, and when should growers use it?
FloraFlex V1 is a water-soluble powder nutrient designed to support vigorous plant growth throughout the entire vegetative stage. V1 is always used together with FloraFlex V2 as a two-part formula, and the pair provides all essential nutrients plants need from early veg through the end of the vegetative phase.
How much FloraFlex V1 should growers mix per gallon of water?
FloraFlex V1 is dosed at 1 to 2 grams per gallon of water, which is equivalent to 1 to 2 teaspoons per 5 gallons. For best results, the EC of the water source should be 0.2 to 0.3 before mixing, and the starting EC should not exceed 0.7.
What is the N-P-K of FloraFlex V1, and what does that mean for vegetative plants?
FloraFlex V1 carries an N-P-K of 14-0-4, meaning the formula delivers nitrogen and potassium to fuel leafy, vegetative growth. V1 is used alongside FloraFlex V2 so that together the two-part system supplies the full spectrum of essential nutrients plants need during the veg stage.
Is FloraFlex V1 compatible with hydroponic systems and soil grows?
Yes, FloraFlex V1 is formulated for use in both hydroponic systems and soil grows. The water-soluble powder dissolves cleanly and is described by FloraFlex as one of the most pH-stable nutrient formulas available, making FloraFlex V1 a practical choice across different growing media.
Can FloraFlex V1 be used as a base nutrient alongside other additives?
Yes, at lower dosages FloraFlex V1 and V2 can serve as a base nutrient while growers stack additional supplements or additives on top. This flexibility lets growers customize their feed program without abandoning the FloraFlex V1 and V2 foundation.
Is FloraFlex V1 an organic or OMRI-certified nutrient?
FloraFlex V1 is an inorganic-based nutrient and is not OMRI certified. Growers seeking a certified organic formula will need to look at other products, but those focused on clean, pH-stable performance in conventional hydroponic or soil grows will find FloraFlex V1 well suited to their needs.
