..Im just trying to get away from the PH spread all together...I guess im trying to use two programs in one.. ...i could load up all my comm nutes in the salt tabs like the Nute o rama tab on Ph. On PH we have to play with the ml/gal to get to the exact formulation..This is what I hate about PH and What I luv about HYDROBUDDY. I can just save my formualtions and click calculate and bam itll tell me what i need of all my recipe...WEll maybe im dreaming....Its really not a big deal I can still use both..
... The only thing im getting it down to is the density.. we have no density option on the add new salt tab...This has to be my problem...
i see what you're trying to do now.
i think the problem is that hydro buddy assumes new salts are powders. when i created a new salt called
floramicro, and input 83-0-14-83, it calculates 166g. divide it by the density, 1.25 g/ml, to give 132.8 ml of
floramicro. do the same with your other fertilizers.
i tried putting 125% purity in the new salt field - to trick hydro buddy into using density. it doesn't use purity on the desired formulation tab, but it DOES use purity (density) on the salts to formulations tab - problem solved. we can let daniel know that sometimes (often?) new salts are liquid fertilizers - so he can include density, or fix the purity box link.
make sense?
i created new salts called
floragro, micro, and bloom. i input 100-100-200 in desired formulation. hydrobuddy didn't solve automatically.
i input 8ml micro (in the salt weight field), 16 ml bloom, their densities, 1 gallon res, (lucas is 0-8-16 ml/gal GMB) and i get 132-106-184-132-70...identical to pH. i tweaked it a little; 60g, 140g, and 355g, GMB, gives 102-100-199-87.5-70 (lucas).
you may find that your commercial ferts WON'T give you your desired profile. give it a shot.
in your situation, i think it's still easier to use pH. i bet you can't wait to dispose of your com ferts so you can forget about pH :)
