Interesting. Did you bury the ferts or just let them sink? Either way, I still think it would move back up into the water column. Root tabs trap the nutrients in clay to keep them in place.
Well I got the idea from using osmocote as a DIY fert to put in the gravel. The osmocote I have has no micros and I'm hesitant to do it at the moment as I dosed the tank yesterday. I would bury it under my swords and let it dissolve once under.
So I made my first attempt at this last night on a sword with obvious deficiencies (transparent leaves). Given the frozen state of the flourish, and it thawing under the gravel, I imagine it would keep some micro nutrients in the area I want. After all what keeps dissolved dry ferts from coming back up to the water column?
