Electric Blender to Mix Ferts??

I use dry ferts and 500ml dosing bottles. The instructions say to shake the bottles vigorously after adding the ferts to the water but it does not dissolve 100%. It still has some lumps and grittiness to it. Would it be okay to pour the solution into an electric blender to help with the dissolution? I can't imagine that there would be any issues with doing this, just wondering if anyone has done this?

Nah, just mix them in a Pyrex measuring cup. You can microwave it for 30-60 sec to help dissolve it. K2SO4 is the less soluble macro, CSM+B can take a while too.

Many dry fertilizers are of agricultural grade which means they contain some naturally occurring impurities. You could pour your solution through a sieve or piece of cheesecloth to remove the larger grit particles without affecting the dissolved nutrients.
