Keep feeding a complete A and B. If you're out of Veg, use the full Bloom pair, 5.1 g Bloom A and 2.6 g Bloom B per US gallon, for the few days until it arrives, then go back to Veg. If you're out of a Bloom part, the full Veg pair, 4.6 g Veg A and 3.1 g Veg B, covers the gap. Never run one part by itself.
These are short bridges for the Veg and Bloom stages, before Cake. They aren't a change to the program.
What to use until it arrives
| Out of | You still have | Use per US gallon until it arrives |
|---|---|---|
| Veg A, Veg B or both | Bloom A and Bloom B | 5.1 g Bloom A + 2.6 g Bloom B |
| Veg A | Veg B and Bloom A | 5.1 g Bloom A + 3.1 g Veg B |
| Veg B | Veg A and Bloom B | Bloom B in place of Veg B for a short gap of a few days |
| Bloom A | Veg A and Veg B | 4.6 g Veg A + 3.1 g Veg B |
| Bloom A | Veg A and Bloom B | 5.1 g Veg A + 2.6 g Bloom B |
| Bloom B | Veg A and Veg B | 4.6 g Veg A + 3.1 g Veg B |
| Bloom B | Bloom A and Veg B | Veg B in place of Bloom B until your order arrives |
| A part, with no way to make a complete A+B | Just one part or additives | A light plain-water irrigation for the short gap |
When the missing part arrives, go straight back to the schedule. If you bridged with Bloom before flower day 22, go back to Veg until day 22, then switch to Bloom as normal. If you run out of Bloom late in flower, bridge with Veg; don't start Cake early because Bloom ran out. Cake timing is in when to start Cake.
What not to do
- Don't run one part alone, such as Bloom A with no B.
- Don't add extra of the part you have to make up for the one you don't.
- Don't fill the gap with Cal-Mag, a generic calcium product or another line's powder.
- The parts aren't all interchangeable. If your case isn't in the table, ask us with what you have left, your flower day and when the order is due.
Mixed the wrong pair or crossed parts for a feed or two by mistake? You don't need to flush. Go back to the right pair on the next batch and watch your feed and runoff readings.
Out of Cake when it's time to start? Contact us with your flower day, expected harvest date and order number.
Why A runs out first
The chart uses more A than B: 4.6 g A to 3.1 g B in Veg and 5.1 g A to 2.6 g B in Bloom. Equal-weight bags won't finish together, so plan each part from the gallons you mix and reorder the A before it runs out. Don't change the ratio to use up leftover B. Our pre-weighed concentrate sets are proportioned so each part makes a matching stock volume.
If an order arrives missing a part, email sales@cropsalt.com with your order number and a photo of what came. Orders can ship in more than one box, so include every tracking number.
