Pros of using the Easy Plus Series:
- Easy to use 1 step program
- pH stable (Automatically pH’s between 6.3-6.5)
- Suitable for both growing in coco and soil
- Powdered nutrients cannot freeze so you don’t have to worry about their storage temperature
Cons of using the Easy Plus Series:
- Cannot be used for hydroponics
- Powdered nutrients can be harder to mix into water
- Paying for convenience: not as cost effective compared to more complex fertilizer programs
Holland Secret 3 Part Fertilizer:
Our Holland Secret 3 Part Fertilizer consists of the Micro, Grow, and Bloom. All three nutrients are used together during the plant's growth. While the plant is in the vegetative stage, Grow will be used in a higher concentration along with Micro, and Bloom. While the plant is in the flowering stage, Bloom will be used in a higher concentration with Micro and Grow. They contain all 12 essential nutrients so your plant doesn’t need any additives to grow successfully.
How to Use:
- Measure, mix, and feed your plants!

Hi, I can’t find a product label listing ingredients anywhere. How about it?

Hi Greg,
So we strongly recommend you mix the nutrients each time you feed because otherwise you run the risk of contamination, nutrient dilution and a variety of other problems.
If you have to mix and store, make sure it’s in a dark, cool area, and that the mix is properly sealed and don’t let it sit for longer than 2 weeks. From there just monitor your plants and if they react well, then you’re all good, or if you feel like you see deficiencies simply go back to mixing each time.
Thanks for the question and have a marvelous day!
Greg
Question: can i premix my nutrients together (micro, grow, bloom)for future use, instead of mixing as needed on the day of use?

Hi Terry,
Thanks for reaching out.
In regards to your question, there’s no hard-set rule for how many times you feed in a week as each grow is it’s own thing.
For instance, larger pots generally don’t need watering as often, so if you were only watering once a week then you’d want to feed it nutrients at that same time.
A lot of people propose adding nutrients each time you water (excluding when you flush your plant) because it provides a consistent supply of nutrients, so it’s something to consider.
Regardless of the amount of times, we recommend 2 feeds 1 flush – so in your case, you could space out the nutrient dosage for one week over two feedings and then flush with pH water.
Here’s a link to a blog article that helps with reading feed schedules: https://futureharvest.com/blogs/articles/how-to-read-a-feed-schedule
Hope this helped and have a great day,
