    Bought some LUSHgro fert from NA. However, I do not knew of their purpose. Can some brothers please enlighten me.

    The fertilizers are in powdered form and as follows.

    1. Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO2
    2. Magnesium Sulphate MgSO2
    3. Potassium dihydrogenphosphate KH2PO4
    4. Potassium Sulphate K2SO4
    5. Potassium Nitrate KNO3.2H2O


    Sincerely,

    Junliang

    1)Raise KH (try to target a KH of 3 or above for safe CO2 injection).
    2-5)Plant nutrients

    Add a commercial trace mix along with those macros and you are good to go. Just make sure the CO2 is good and things should do pretty well.

    Thanks thanks..I've also heard that the element iron is good to help the plants to develop their coloration, none of these fert so far provide any iron right? Do you think it's important to get it..?

    Its in the trace mix whichever you wish to get. Iron mania again...god. Its not a critical nutrient...Carbon aka CO2 and NO3 are the two big players but you still need the rest in non-limiting amount to get good growth.
