40 Lb Elite Micro

The Elite Micro 40 lb by Flying Skull is a premium plant nutrient designed for large-scale growers seeking exceptional performance and cost efficiency. As part of the Flying Skull plant food line, this ultra-concentrated solution provides robust support for all growth stages. Perfect for hydroponic, soilless, and soil-based systems, Elite Micro works synergistically with Elite Grow, Elite Bloom, and Z7 to ensure maximum plant health, vibrant growth, and abundant harvests.

Key Features

Highly Soluble and Efficient

Elite Micro delivers nutrients in a highly soluble format, ensuring quick absorption with minimal waste. Its low EC/PPM requirements reduce usage by 2-3 times compared to traditional nutrient solutions, making it ideal for both production and hobby growers.

Clean, Non-Particulate Formula

This particulate-free solution is specially formulated to prevent slime buildup in hydroponic systems like Deep Water Culture, ensuring healthy roots and seamless system functionality.

Customizable Nutrient Regimen

When used with Elite Grow and Elite Bloom, Elite Micro offers a flexible feeding schedule adaptable to specific plant needs at every growth stage. This modular approach eliminates the need for multiple redundant products.

Exceptional Yield Potential

With a single 40 lb package, growers can produce up to 8,800 gallons of nutrient solution for full-sun crops or 17,600 gallons for shade crops like lettuce. This efficiency makes it an excellent choice for large-scale operations.

How to Use Elite Micro

Initial Growth Stage

• Mix 1 part Elite Micro, 1 part Elite Grow, and 1 part Elite Bloom for the first 7-14 days of growth to establish strong roots.
• Adjust the nutrient strength to 50 ppm per inch of plant height.

Vegetative Growth

• Remove Elite Bloom and continue feeding with Elite Micro and Elite Grow to promote above-ground vegetative development.

Bloom Transition

• Reintroduce Elite Bloom one week before initiating the 12/12 lighting cycle to increase phosphorus and potassium levels. This step is crucial for optimal flower and bud development.

Final Week Before Harvest

• Discontinue Elite Micro, Elite Grow, and Elite Bloom.
• Use Z7 and Essential Flora Extract to refine flavors, enhance quality, and prepare for harvest.

Advantages of Elite Micro

1. Supports All Growth Stages: Works seamlessly from seedling to harvest.
2. Maximized Yield Efficiency: Produces up to 17,600 gallons of nutrient solution, reducing overall costs.
3. Safe for Hydroponics: Prevents slime and nutrient buildup in advanced systems.
4. Customizable for Crop Needs: Tailored feeding schedules ensure precise nutrient delivery.
5. Minimizes Overfeeding Risks: Clear instructions reduce the likelihood of nutrient burn or plant stress.
6. Enhances Results with Additives: Pairs with Z7, Essential Flora Extract, and optional enhancers like On Schedule and USB for superior performance.

General Feeding Guidelines

• Hydroponics & Soilless Media: 300-400 ppm during vegetation and 450-600 ppm during bloom.
• Soil-Based Systems: 400-500 ppm consistently.
• Shade Plants & Lettuce: 200-300 ppm for sensitive crops.

Mixing Instructions

1. Add Elite Micro, Grow, and Bloom separately to the nutrient tank.
2. Adjust pH to suit your growing medium:
   • Hydroponics: 5.8-6.5
   • Soil: 6.4-7.0
3. Monitor plants for signs of underfeeding (yellowing leaves, light coloration) or overfeeding (tip burn, curling leaves) and adjust accordingly.
