 Nitrogen
is one of the main three macro nutrients (nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium: NPK) required by plants and can
often become the limiting factor to growth in a ourishing
system. Flourish Nitrogen™ is a concentrated (15,000 mg/L)
blend of nitrogen sources. It provides nitrogen in both
the nitrate form and the plant-preferred ammonium form.
However, no free ammonia is released because the ammonium
in Flourish Nitrogen™ is complexed and unavailable
until utilized by the plants. Flourish Nitrogen™
also provides nitrate for those plants that can readily
utilize nitrate as well. For maximum benefit use with
Flourish Phosphorus™ and Flourish Potassium™..

DIRECTIONS:
BEGINNER: Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 160 L
(40 gallons*) twice a week or as needed in response
to signs of nitrogen deficiency (e.g. stunted growth,
chlorosis). For smaller doses, please note that each
cap thread is approximately 1 mL. EXPERT: The beginner
dose raises nitrogen by the same degree that 1 mg/L
nitrate would. This dose is sufficient to provide
approximately 4 g of growth (dry) or about 20 g (hydrated)
over a 1 month period (assuming all other necessary
nutrients are provided). For increased growth use
proportionately more. To target a specific nitrogen
increase, dose according to the following formula:
0.25vn=m, where v= volume of tank in gallons*, n=desired
nitrogen increase (if using a “nitrate equivalent”
value for “n” then use a factor of 0.05
instead of 0.25 in the formula) and m=volume of product
to use in mL. For example to raise 20 gallons* by
0.20 mg/L nitrogen you would use: 0.25*20*0.20=1 mL.
Because one-half of the nitrogen in Flourish Nitrogen™
is from nitrate you can get a reasonable estimate
of nitrogen levels by doubling a nitrate reading,
or, you can use Seachem’s MultiTest: Total Nitrogen™
(coming soon!) to accurately measure total nitrogen
while distinguishing between nitrate, ammonia and
organic nitrogen.
