FAQ
Do I need to use Cal Mag with Front Row Ag?
What EC should I feed at? Given the variance in facility infrastructure, cultivation methods, and cultivars, it’s impossible to give a specific EC prescription that applies to all scenarios. Most facilities feed at 2.0-3.0 EC with Front Row Ag, and our “Standard” and “High Strength” Feed Charts reflect effective feeding strategies in this range. The following table shows some considerations that affect EC choice: HIGHER EC
LOWER EC
Smaller pots
Larger pots
Frequent irrigation
Infrequent irrigation
Consistent runoff
Less runoff
Substrate monitoring
No substrate monitoring
Higher PPFD
Lower PPFD
Heavy feeding strains
Lower feeding strains
Higher CO2
Lower CO2
Tight environmental control
Less environmental control
Why feed at higher EC early in the cycle? Plant nutrition requirements are highest during the stages at which plants are growing most quickly, veg and during the first three weeks of flower. At this stage the crop will have a smaller root mass and drybacks will take much longer. As the plant finishes stretch, mineral requirements will be reduced and substrate EC should also be reduced via lower feed EC and/or increased runoff.
How is Front Row Ag different from other mineral fertilizers? Front-Row Ag uses the highest purity agricultural inputs containing precise blends of micronutrients, chelates, complexing agents and surfactants.

No, our formula contains ideal ratios of calcium and magnesium based on years of testing and plant tissue analysis. If deficiencies are observed, raise EC by increasing all parts equally to maintain ideal mineral ratios.
Do I need a bloom booster with Front Row Ag? No. you will not need an additional bloom booster - Front Row Ag Bloom contains all the required micronutrients with ideal quantities of phosphorus and potassium to maximize density, yield, and quality.
What is the cost per gallon for Front Row Ag using Part A, Part B, and Bloom? $0.026 per gallon at 2.6 EC with commercial pricing.
What is the proper injection order for Front Row Ag? 1. Front Row Si 2. Part A 3. Part B 4. Part Bloom 5. Clean Up (or pH down if necessary)
What is the easiest way to use Front Row Ag? Using dosatrons or an injection system with our 3-2-2 Stock Concentrate Mixing is the easiest method. This allows use of whole 25lb bags in 50 gal stock barrels that can be injected at equal injection ratios.
