Just switched some plants over to leca and want to buy some fertilizer. How do I fertilize with leca, and does anyone have recommendations for what kind I should buy?

I use General Hydroponics Flora Series: FloraGro, FloraBloom, FloraMicro. I use 1tsp of each to 1gal of water. I personally only use fertilized water since LECA itself doesn’t provide nutrients like soil would. I know others don’t though- honestly, it’s just what works best for your plant(s). ☺️

Do you need to use all three solutions or can I just use the FloraGro by itself?

#### Mariah replied on 2023-11-19

I personally use all 3, but any single one would be fine I reckon. I got a deal on all 3- cheaper than buying 2 and not much more than just 1. That’s the only reason I have/use them.
