One More Plant Fertilizer Question
"jonboy" wrote in message et... My LFS sold me Hagen Plant Grow spikes. They claim that they will last 1 year after they are activated. Anyway, the sticks contain phosphates: Here are the contents: Total Nitrogen: 16% 7.5% Ammonical Nitrogen 8.5% Nitrate Nitrogen Available Phosphates 9% Soluble Phosphates 12% Iron .45% Anyway, these spikes have several other trace elements. My concern is that I'm adding phosphates to my water and not enough iron. Should I pull these plant tabs and buy Seachem Flourish tabs. I don't want to change my substrate and thought that the tabs would work better then a liquid that you pour in to the water. I could really use some advice. Thanks If you get some Flourish tabs, post the ingredients. Also list the trace elements in the Hagen plant grow spikes. I have some Jobe's food spikes here (for ferns, 16-2-6) Total nitrogen: 16% 2% Nitrate nitrogen 10.5% water insoluble nitrogen 3.5% urea nitrogen available phosphoric acid (P2O5) 2% soluble potash (K2O) 6% derived from ureaformaldehyde nitrogen, triple superphosphate, potassium nitrate. I'm going to rumble your post over to rec.aquaria.freshwater.plants. That's where the experts on this hang out. NetMax |
