Description:
Nitrogen is one of the main three macro nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium: NPK) required by plants and can often become the limiting factor to growth in a flourishing system. Flourish Nitrogenª is a concentrated (15,000Êmg/L) blend of nitrogen sources. It provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the plant-preferred ammonium form. However, no free ammonia is released because the ammonium in Flourish Nitrogenª is complexed and unavailable until utilized by the plants. Flourish Nitrogenª also provides nitrate for those plants that can readily utilize nitrate as well. For maximum benefit use with Flourish Phosphorusª and Flourish Potassiumª. Guaranteed Analysis: Total Nitrogen (N)ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ 1.5%. Derived from: potassium nitrate, carbamidine
DIRECTIONS: BEGINNER: Use 0.5Ð1 mL (dispenser enclosed) for each 80ÊL (20 gallons*) twice a week. EXPERT: The beginner dose raises nitrogen by the same degree that 0.45Ð0.90 mg/L nitrate would. This dose is sufficient to provide approximately 4 g of growth (dry) or about 20 g (hydrated) over a 1 month period (assuming all other necessary nutrients are provided). For increased growth use proportionately more. To target a specific nitrogen increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.25vn=m, where v= volume of tank in gallons*, n=desired nitrogen increase (if using a Ònitrate equivalentÓ value for ÒnÓ then use a factor of 0.05 instead of 0.25 in the formula) and m=volume of product to use in mL. For example to raise 20 gallons* by 0.20 mg/L nitrogen you would use: 0.25*20*0.20=1 mL. Because one-half of the nitrogen in Flourish Nitrogenª does not come from nitrate you can get a reasonable estimate of nitrogen levels by doubling a nitrate reading, or, you can use SeachemÕs MultiTest: Total Nitrogenª (coming soon!)
