How to use and dose Grow Emerald Harvest
Emerald Harvest recommends a dose of Grow between 0,5 and 2 ml per liter of water. These doses must be adjusted to each growing phase to avoid any nutrient locking in plants. Keep in mind that adjusting this dose, and also the doses of the other compounds (Micro and Bloom) is the key to get higher yields from your plants.
To prepare the nutrient solution ALWAYS add Micro at first. Once added stir the solution and you can proceed to add Grow and Bloom (in this case no matter which one first). It is important to add Micro first as this formula contains pH balancers that will make your life easier.
Also remember that the ideal pH range once the 3 compounds are mixed in water is between 5,8 and 6,2 (depending on the growing stage plants are in).

Emerald Harvest Grow final reviews
In first place we like to say that we positively value Emerald Harvest 3-part nutrients. These type of fertilizers represent one of the most complete nutrient solutions in market. The 3 part nutrients, thanks to a very studied formula, gets plant's best performance without any lack (what not all brands can asure).
Up to this point we explained the good virtues of a 3 part formula, now its fair to tell its negative points. One of the cons in our opinion is the difficulty in use. More than difficult, the problem is that you have to be very concentrated in what you are doing. Being a solution which 3 compounds take part, that must be balanced, if you fail dosing anyone you can cause your plants to suffer.
About product concentration we must say that we consider these products highly concentrated (maximum dose of 2 ml/L), so it is important to check EC of your NS before irrigation (specially if you grow hydroponics)
Another key aspect as the results got. After testing the whole line of Emerald Harvest fertilizers and boosters we get a very clear concept. Obviously the best results are got when you combine the base nutrients with all Emerald Harvest stimulators... Althought as a grower you should keep this in mind: The final yields when you only use Grow, Micro and Bloom are better than using the whole line from other well-known brands.
Tu sum up, the results got endorse these professional nutrients that improve results of other well-known brands like Advanced Nutrients (for a much lower price, and being more easy to use).
