The Best Way to Use General Hydroponics Flora Series to Grow Cannabis!

If you’re just getting started growing cannabis, the General hydroponics flora series is a great place to start.

It’s easy to use with solid results every time.

The best part is that it’s inexpensive to purchase compared to the newer line of nutrients on the market.

The gh flora trio nutrient line has been around forever.

I do know of some growers who have been growing with general hydroponics flora trio for over 30 years.

 They have been using this stuff since they started.

The growers use it and trust it and grow some really killer herb, and their herb smokes nice.

I asked what their trick was for using Flora?

Each one had a secret recipe somewhat similar which I will share with you later.

Most importantly is they all said the same thing to flush your plants properly.

Even NASA used this stuff to grow vegetables and in their experiments.

Around 2014 Scotts Miracle-Gro buys General Hydroponics, which means GH brand products will be available everywhere soon enough. Sourced from Forbes.

In this how to, we will look at the general hydroponics 3 in 1 nutrient line to check out the benefits and the best way to use the flora series when growing cannabis.

Compare it with how the general hydroponics recommends using their product for general indoor garden use.

Best practices for flushing when using this nutrient line.

What’s in the General hydroponics flora series?

Here are the three different type of nutrients in the line.

Each one is for the various stages of growth they all play a part in the complete package of the GH flora series.

This nutrient line is made up of synthetic nutrients which include:

Flora Micro

FloraMicro is the foundation to the whole flora series.

It’s the one that provides the essential micronutrients required for your cannabis plants.

These are the building block on which the plant will grow.

Flora micro delivers nitrogen and calcium with potassium to your plants along with trace minerals such as zinc, iron, manganese, boron.

With being ph balanced this is a breeze when combined with water.

The N-P-K value is 5-0-1

Flora Gro

The FloraGro is the one that starts to have all the N-P-K values incorporated into the nutrient.

Gro helps to promote the vegetative phase and the development of the structure of the plant.

Floragro has the perfect combination to provide to your plants when having rapid growth in the veg stage of growth.

The N-P-K value is 2-1-6

Flora Bloom

The FloraBloom will be the one to stimulate the flowers or buds on your cannabis plants.

It provides potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium along with sulfur to your growing plants.

FloraBloom will also enhance flavor and terpene development during the flowering stage.

The N-P-K value is 0-5-4

Benefits of using the GH 3 in 1:

There are many benefits to using the general hydroponics flora they are:

Complete package, it’s all there no messing with a million containers this can be used the whole way through the grow.

Perfect for beginner simple and easy to use.

Instead of investing in hundreds of dollars in nutrient, hey can pay a low price for this line of nutrients.

Availability,  One bonus to GH trio that it’s available almost anywhere from Home Depot to the grow store, and even on Amazon, it is readily available.

Plus,they are less expensive than your average nutrient on the market for synthetic nutrients. 

How to use the GH flora series

Here is the general hydroponics flora series feeding schedule for growing cannabis:

Recirculating Program

Great for flood tables and DWC.

Clones and seedlings:- 2.5ml/gal of all three parts of the Flora Series

Veg stage – 5ml/gal FloraMicro, 10 ml/gal FloraGro and 5ml/gal FloraBloom

Early Flowering – 7.5ml/gal FloraMicro, 7.5ml/gal FloraGro and 10-12.5ml/gal FloraBloom

Peak flowering – 10ml/gal FloraMicro, 5ml/gal FloraGro and 15ml/gal FloraBloom.

Flush – 2.5ml/gal of each part for three days, then FloraKleen if growing in coco coir or soil perlite mix.Follow up by plain RO water or de-chlorinated water w/ one tsp/gal (2.5ml) of molasses if you so desire

Drain to waste program

Great for Coco coir or soil with perlite.

This one involves either coco coir or soil with preferably a perlite mixture, and there is also soil with coco coir as well now.

Clones and seedlings:- ​2 ml/gal of FloraMicro, 1 ml/gal FloraGro, 1 ml/gal FloraBloom

Veg stage – ​4ml/gal Flora Micro, 5 ml/gal Floragro, and 1ml/gal FloraBloom

Early Flowering – ​4ml/gal FloraMicro, 3ml/gal FloraGro and 5ml/gal FloraBloom 

Peak flowering – ​3ml/gal FloraMicro, 1 ml/gal FloraGro and 8ml/gal FloraBloom

Flush – ​2.5ml/gal of each part for three days, then FloraKleen if growing in coco coir or soil perlite mix​.Follow up by plain RO water or de-chlorinated water w/ one tsp/gal (2.5ml) of molasses if you so desire

How to use General Hydroponics flora series for vegetables and fruit:

General Hydroponics recommends utilizing the flora series for growing vegetables and fruit.

You will notice a slight difference is what they would like and to the Cannabis Program above.

For more detailed information, please check out the general hydroponics site for feeding charts.

Tips on use and storage:

1

Shake well.

2

Store In cool dark place

3

Add one nutrient at a time when filling reservoir, start with Micro → Grow → Bloom.

4

Rinse measuring cup after each addition of nutrient.

Flushing:

Flushing is one of the most critical steps in growing good cannabis.

Do you want to consume fertilizers in your marijuana?

I didn’t think so.

It also affects the burn and taste of your herb.

General Hydroponics has a product called FloraKleen.

This product is good at getting rid of salt buildup and removing nutrient build up or residue in your medium or table.

A little goes a long way.

One tsp per gallon.

Benefits :

  • Reduce salt build up
  • Flush solution
  • Safe for all mediums
  • Remove impurities
  • Lasts forever

For Hydroponics such as coco coir medium, it is suggested to use within the last two weeks of growing.

Then to use just RO water for the reminder feedings.

When using Hydroponic DWC or flood and drain or recirculation, you can go a week before with the Flora Kleen.

Try and achieve a 0 PPm at the final flush. By having close to 0 PPM, it will ensure a high-quality cannabis in the end.

It’s hard to do but get as close as you can.

For soil mediums suggest use is:

Start Last 2-3 weeks of flower depending on grow medium. For coco at least 2 weeks out and for soil 3 weeks out is recommended.

Use FloraKleen on week one as recommended on the bottle with R/O water (reverse osmosis) preferably 0 PPM, and flush heavy.

Then use water on next feeding only

After that use FloraKleen two more times a week apart flush heavy and water in between.

Try a strive for a 0 PPm at the final flush. By having close to 0 PPM, it will ensure a high-quality cannabis in the end.

It’s hard to do but get as close as you can. 

Final thoughts

Growing good cannabis with general hydroponics flora series can be achieved.

Flora is incredible if you’re just starting out or looking to save some money when growing.

Although this nutrient is synthetic, if you do flush correctly there should be nothing to worry about if you’re concerned with non-organic ingredients.

How do you use the gh flora series and your experience?

Did you have good result?

  1. Hi! Biobizz nutes and soil ex-user, switching to coco coir and mineral with some doubts.

    This is my new line up:
    Flora series (hard h2o, won’t need CalMag)
    Bio roots
    Diamond nectar
    Rhino skin (couldn’t find Armor Si)
    Ripen
    Kleen

    In what order to be mixed? So far I know this:
    Water > Rhino skin > Flora micro > gro > bloom, but what about Bio roots and Diamond nectar? In which position should they be added?

    Reply
    • If adding Silica it goes first, shake/stir well, let sit for 1 hour as Silica takes time to dissolve. Cal-mag next If using it, shake/stir well. Then, [ or first If not using the above] Add micro, shake/stir well, add grow, shake/stir well, and last you add bloom. Shake/stir well. They just worded it weird. If not done this way the nutrients can precipitate out of solution and thus not available to the plant. If you ever see sediment on the bottom, some elements precipitated out of the solution and you might mix up a new batch.

      Reply
    • What they mean is dont mix up all the nutrients in 1 container then add to water, fill your mixing container with water , then you add the micro stir, then add grow stir then bloom. Always start 1st with micro UNLESS using silica if using silica it is added 1st and given an hr to dissolve

      • Hi, when growing in coco, how often should I be feeding and how much would each plant need if they are in 3L fabric pots? Thanks

        Reply
        • When growing in coco feed the plants every day and get about 10-20 % run off out of the bottom of pots.

          As to how much they will need , it will vary in the grow they will eventually require more water/nutes as they get bigger.

          Hope this helps,

          Reply
    • Put you cal mag then Micro, gro and bloom then the rest. If you use Silicon put it 1st. 1880 PPM is to hot will burn plants I try to stay around 12 to 1300 PPM with 600w HPS light.

      Reply
  4. your should add armour ai first then your fluxic acids (diamond nector) or it will cause nutrient lock out then add calmag and leave this for 30 min to 1 hr before adding in order micro, grow,bloom and what ever else your using if you don’t do it in these steps the nutrients break each other down and the plant can’t uptake them and get locked out if you add them in this order and wait 30 min before adding the rest you will be fine enjoy

  5. I mixed 2.5ml of each micro, gro and bloom to 500ml of Ester just to get a rough idea where my ec is gonna be and it was through the roof at 4.9 hoe can this be ? And how to rectify it as that is the amount the label suggests on the back kind regards

    Reply
    • This dude meant water. He mixed 2.5 ml of micro, grow and bloom into 500ml of water and got an EC of 4.

      Well no duh Enstein. I mix 2.5 ml of grow micro and bloom into 1.5 gallons and I get an ec of .8

      Not anywhere did anyone tell you to mix 7.5 ml of nutes Into 500ml of water. Of course its gonna be high.

      You have zero clue what your doing. You should learn basic common sense before you post silly things online.

  9. I see in your final flower stage is it possible to use a different ratio of micro to bloom other then 1 part micro(7.5ml) to 2 parts bloom(15ml)? Say something like 4ml micro to 18.5ml bloom

      • Can I use Terra flora micro in organic soil ? Or will it affect the beneficial microbes and trace elements in the soil as well as the buffering sequence organic soil provides.

        Reply
        • I haven’t used canna nutes before so I cannot say if it will effect your organic soil. You should be able to but don’t quote me on that.

  10. Your saying use cal mag?? Isnt koolbloom same? An you also said just the trio is all you need? Sn if so does the expert feed chart contain additives that I shouldn’t need ( aka. A waste of my money?) an if not what order should I add the full expert nutrients to avoid problems. Im considering using the floro series on next grow been using ionic with decent results just wanna try something different. Thanks

    Reply
    • Koolbloom is a bloom additive. Yes you may need cal mag to supplement. The method noted is just with the basic flora trio . If you want to use the other additives you can from GH . They have their benefits but if you want to save some cash, you can you the basic recommended method.

  12. I added Cal Mag, waited a few hours then added the flora series one at a time. I have two different sites indicating the amount of Diamond Nector to add and also schedules for phase feeding and weekly feeding. The phase feeding suggests adding 40ml of Diamond Nector once during veg and once during the switch to 12/12. I’m assuming that’s total amount and not per gallon. Also, Is it now too late to add armor si?

    Reply
    • I have not used the diamond necta, it probably is total amount, you can add amor si in just make sure you add it first before all other nutrients. wait at least 5 minutes , then add cal mag ect..

  13. This grow I’ll be using Flora Trio the 1st time, switching from Advanced Nutrients and using the leftovers this grow. I also use pH neutral SuperThrive. Non-recirculating DWC, 4″ rockwool cubes.

    Nute list: GH Flora Trio, GH Floralicious Plus, Botanicare Hydroguard, and Advanced Nutrients: Sensi CalMag Xtra, Rhino Skin, B-52, Overdrive, Bud Candy, Flawless Finish.

    Please advise the order I should mix all of these. A BIG TIA to you!

  15. Hello just started my first grow and am using the gh trio. I was wondering how much cal mag should be used for each stage since I’m using ro water? I have general organics cal-mag 1-0-0.

    Reply
  16. Just added floragro regimen as my outdoor crop started showing signs of nutrient deficiences.

    Read calmag can be added after mixing nutes if you are feeding immediately.

    Also – how often do you feed nutes compared to just reg ph’d water?

    Reply
    • It’s best to add the cal mag at the start. You should try and feed nutes every water if your using perlite with the soil. You could try just water and then next time feed nutes. See how your plants respond .

    • Hello….im a new at this…so if I sound weird please don’t mind….im growing 4 clones in my balcony and i have been using the flora trio…but in all the comments I see every body uses calMag and I never did…will that affect my plants? And I also i have been adding fresh nutrients and water everytime i water my plants…is that okay ? The reason I ask is cause all of you make the mixing in gallons and storage for the next times i dont….my ph is always between 6.or 6.5 ….so it doesn’t matter how much nutrients as long the ph of all together ( water and nuts) are between 6 and 6.5…thank you

      • Growing outside in soil you may not need cal mag,(but is doesn’t hurt if you want to add some) also adding new nutes every time you water is good. You should be fine.

  20. New grower. Autos. GH Flora Series. I bought the “box” deal and it has the supplements in it. RapidStart, FloraBlend, Liquid KoolBloom, Floralicious Plus. I know Autos are sensitive to nutes and to go easy. Which supplement/supplements would benefit my cannabis? I keep reading to not use anything else because I am new but they are in the box for a reason. I also bought a small container of Flower fuel. Any info on when and what to use would be great. Thank you for you time.

    Reply
    • Rapidstart is for rooting and good for seedling to mid veg stage, florablend is great in the veg stage , liquid koolbloom , is good for flower stage enhances bud development, ,floralicous is good for the whole grow. I would recommend doing half of what is recommended on the gh flora charts. I have not tried the supplements yet.

    • . You can try and start off with the early flowering maybe for a week then followed by peak flowering for a couple more weeks then go back to water for the last weeks
      Early Flowering – ​4ml/gal FloraMicro, 3ml/gal FloraGro and 5ml/gal FloraBloom

      Peak flowering – ​3ml/gal FloraMicro, 1 ml/gal FloraGro and 8ml/gal FloraBloom

  31. This is my first grow with the gh flora series and I’ve been having trouble finding a good feed chart to reference. I’m using fox farm coco choir w/perlite, (micro,gro,bloom) along with rapid start in 5 gal fabric pots with tap water and ph testing to 6.0 after mixing nutes in correct order. I found a chart from another grower for mid veg to mix at 3-5 ml/gal calimagic, 2.25ml micro, 2.5ml gro, 1ml bloom. I’m experiencing deficiencies with purple/pink stems and also seeing tips burnt assuming it nutrient burn. Should I follow gh drain to waste program or the chart you have listed here?

    Reply
  32. I would try the drain to waste on the page here. I would not use the drain to waste from genral hydroponices it is really heavy with nutes (one on page). You are using less than recommended on my chart I have at the top of post. With the exception of cali magic. You may have some nute burn going on or light butn? Hard to say. I would give it a good flush with ph water then add nutes next feed.It seems like you may need more magnesium( with the red stems) you want to maybe try and add some epsom salt with your nute formula currently using it may help. I start off at 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of epsom salts mix with nutes to try and go up to there Do go over a tbsp.. You should see some changes within a few days since your watering everyday in coco. So it is up to you if you want to try the method listed here. Good Luck

  33. Hello everyone I am getting ready to start my first ever grow using Hydroponics. My main question is what strength should I use my nutrients at? Or is there a chart I can reference to that is fairly accurate? I’ve been doing research and trying to figure everything out that I can but I just keep seeing standard feeding charts and I’ve seen people say they are a bit too strong. I will be using the GH Flora Series and Cal-Mag (all I have right now)
    My Current set up is the following
    -MarsHydro TSW 2000W light
    -36″x36″x72″ grow tent (3×3)
    -Four 5 gallon buckets
    -Hydroton Medium
    -6″ wide lip mesh bottom bucket lid
    -4″ 190 CFM Inline Duct fan w/ Carbon Filter

    Any advice or tips would be much appreciated! I’m super excited to start this grow and just want to make sure I’m on the right track and have a good idea of what I’m doing. Thanks!

  39. On my last grow, I switched from Fox Farms to GH right at the beginning of flower.
    The impact was immediate.
    The tops got so heavy the stalks couldn’t support them and the plants flopped over.
    I had to stake them to keep them upright.

    On my next grow (my current crop) I started with GH and I’ve got the best roots ever (I also added a cooling method to the roots of my DWC).

    Also this is the first grow I’ve done where the plants are sucking up the entire nutrient solution between solution changes (every 7 days) while in the Veg. stage.

    I’ve come close to plants taking up all the solution in Flower stage before but never 100% of the solution and never in Veg.

    You can put me down as a GH fan and a fan of your custom formula for GH.

I had a mite problem also,which I’m pretty sure their gone with the green cleaner.I thought this was going to be an easy thing but I’m finding out it’s a lot harder than one would think. Thanks for the info!!

    • If your just on week 9 of your total grow then you do not need flora kleen yet. Not for a while. maybe week 8 of flower. The chart listed in the post is for growing vegetables from the manufacture general hydroponics as a reference compared to using it for cannabis. The method you should be following is at the start of the post. Use flora kleen in the last 2 week of flower if using soil or coco, 1 week if using pure hydroponics. It is hard to tell when your start out growing when they are ready. Make sure most of the hairs have turned orange . and you can use a microscope to check the trichomes to see if they are ready. check out this post. https://sensigarden.com/marijuana-microscope/
      Hope this helps.

  41. Trying to save money on my soil for my cannibis plants. Any suggestions on what kind of dirt I should buy and what needs to be added to it for the best outcome?

  42. I have my grow room set to turn on at 9pm and turn off at 9am. I want to change it to the other way around. Is it better to leave them on for 24 hours or off?

  43. Listen I’m new to this. Stated my first row about 4 months ago. I was told by SME from the company I bought the tent from, and from another article I read online. Grow, micro, bloom.

    My plants I believe have been doing well, in fact waiting for some amber hair trichomes to appear to begin the flush.

    It wasn’t until the bloom phase that the fan leaves began to look like they had potassium deficiency, where the leaves were drying out, so we backed the nutes down. The burning stopped, so I began to walk the nutes back up.

    Here is where I’m about to cry. I’ve started a new grow. In fact I just emptied 10 5 gallon buckets, and repeated the same cycle. Grow, micro, bloom.

    My question is this, how bad is it to do it in that order? Could that be the cause of the burn on the three?

    This article calls for 2.5 of each for 3 days in DWC, then regular water. Is regular for just one day?

    I’d appreciate some help/advice. Spent four months being a helicopter parent on these first three, and would hate to lost or my new batch.

    • are you referring to the flushing when the plants are finished flowering? if so 2.5ml/gal of each part for three days, then FloraKleen. YOu can use ro water with the florakleen and then just plain ro water for the rest of the flush.
