Provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the ammonium form.
Overview
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 flourishing 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.
Ammonium becomes available after conversion of urea (carbamide).
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™. Flourish Nitrogen™ is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.
Direction
Beginner
Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 160 L (40 US
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.
