Crystallization in B part nutrients Advanced Floriculture

I have just reached the bottom of the bottle of my Advanced Floriculture coco 2 part feed and the B part bottle is full of crystals in the bottom, a good handful. I can't see how it has become contaminated as I always rinse the syringes between squirts. Any ideas what it might be and will it affect the nutrients.

Just an update, I emailed Floriculture and they were very quick to reply.

Hello ~~~~~~,

Thankyou for your email.

As our base nutrients are highly concentrated, (rich in micro and macro nutrients), they can have a tendency to crystallize under cold weather conditions.
The rich mineral content will form crystals, and all that needs to happen is for those minerals to go back into solution.

I can assure you that they will not have a negative effect on your plants. Your plant will be happy to receive all the good nutrients that are available in this product.

All you need to do is separate the quantity you are using into a separate container.
For example if you will be using, 100mls, then pour 100mls of boiling hot water, and use the product at double the dosage in your tank.

e.g if you would use 1ml per litre, after diluting you would use 2mls per litre.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to help you.

Regards


ME TO FLORICULTURE

Thank you for the information ~~~~~~, your quick response is appreciated.
I was near the end of the 2.5 litre bottle before I noticed the crystals so just discarded it and used a new 15 litre tub I already had waiting.

My main concern was if it had a detrimental effect on my plants, which looking at them it has not, they have in fact never looked better since I started using your products.

I started using your BLOOM ROOTS initially which I think is an amazing product then the SILICA and more recently the A/B FLOWERING BASE FEED. I will eventually use your GROW A/B base once I have used up all of my old General Hydroponics 3 part nutrients for the veg part of the grows.

Many thanks

FLORICULTURE TO ME

Great to hear that you noticed that the product doesn’t create adverse effects.

Most people wont understand the benefit of not shipping water from headquarters in Australia.
We send products that are highly concentrated, and the crystallization (whilst it may appear as a drawback) is actually highly beneficial to the plant to the rich mineral, macro and micro nutrient composition.

We have noticed that when people give bloom yellow bottles a chance and understand the products, that they generally never go off them.

Roots is a wonderful product, that will ensure that you get optimum uptake of your other nutrients, and silica is a product you should never leave out.
Sounds like you know what you are doing, and if you ever need any information on other products, please let me know.
