Single Packs
The reason that liquid nutrients are usually supplied as twin packs is that some of the components are incompatible in concentrate and will cause precipitation when they come together. Once they are diluted into a "working solution" however, there is no problem. There are several good single pack liquid nutrients on the market now, including Formulex. In Formulex, the antagonistic elements are held in a chemical complex to avoid precipitation. It is an ingenious solution to the problem of precipitation and is highly suitable for growing house plants and for all soil gardening.
Twin / Triple Packs
