Tank: 0% full
Fill tank to 50% volume with water
Start with unchlorinated water as your base (Chlorinated water will have detrimental affects on mix). Half-filling first gives products room to dissolve properly before topping off.
Water First
pH
Add Zone TR-3 or Zone VR-5 — check pH
Chelated micronutrients go in first. Both TR-3 and VR-5 double as pH adjustment tools. Check and adjust pH before proceeding.
OMRI Certified⚗ TR-3 & VR-5 adjust pH — target 5.5–6.5
Zone TR-3 and VR-5 both double as pH adjustment tools. A solution pH of approximately 5.5 will improve micronutrient stability and is optimal for foliar applications.
Zone MS Crystals
Add the dry crystal sugar supplement and allow it to dissolve fully before adding any liquid products.
OMRI CertifiedDry — dissolve before next step
Zone Aqua 10
Cytokinin-forward liquid kelp. Supports root development, fruit set, and disease resistance via naturally occurring PGRs.
OMRI CertifiedLiquid Kelp
Zone Kelp-Gro
Ascophyllum nodosum kelp emphasizing auxins and gibberellins. Improves stem strength, nitrogen efficiency, and stress tolerance.
OMRI CertifiedLiquid Kelp
Zone Soil
Humate complex, kelp extracts, and key enzymes for improved soil health and nutrient cycling. Add before biologicals.
OMRI Certified
Zone N Fix
Biological nitrogen supplement with Bacillus subtilis, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Trichoderma reesei. Can mix in bucket of water before adding to improve blending.
OMRI CertifiedBiological — add before top-off
Top off with remaining water to full volume
Fill to final application volume. Helps to ensure all products are properly dissolved.
Water Last
Agitate the mixture thoroughly
Run agitation until all products are fully in solution. Critical when dry products were included. Never apply without agitating first.
⟳ Agitate before applying
Key Mixing Notes
pH first. Check and adjust after Step 2. TR-3 and VR-5 both lower pH — potential problem if too low
Dry before liquid. MS Crystals must dissolve fully before adding liquid products.
Biologicals second to last. N Fix goes in just before the final water top-off.
Always agitate. Never apply without full agitation — especially with dry products.
