About Masterblend

Masterblend is a popular 3-part hydroponic nutrient system consisting of:

  • Masterblend 4-18-38 - The base fertilizer providing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
  • Calcium Nitrate (15.5-0-0) - Provides calcium and additional nitrogen
  • Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) - Provides magnesium and sulfur

Mixing Order: Always add Masterblend first, then Calcium Nitrate, then Epsom Salt. This prevents nutrient lockout and ensures proper dissolution.

Note: These ratios are general guidelines. Adjust based on your plants' specific needs, water quality, and growth stage.
