Man this one took me a while....
Scorpion Juice uses chitosan, salicylic acid and Thiamine mononitrate (a form of vitamin B1)
Now for a 1 litre bottle....
2.5% Chitosan listed on label = 28.75 grams of 85% pure Chitosan
can be had here or elsewhere...

3% of Thiamine mononitrate = 30 grams
can be found here....

If you look up Vitamin B1, there are actually a few compounds that are listed that are B1. MOAB uses Thiamine hydrochloride as B1....so either of these should be perfectly safe alternatives to each other.
___________________________________________________
Salicylic Acid....same stuff as uncoated aspirin
this was a tough one as the ingredient is not listed BUT....I dug up 3 different studies that showed that chitosan and Salicylic acid together are the most potent way to boost the plants (any plants) own immune system to help with all forms of invaders. (fungal and pests)
All 3 studies showed a rate of .24 grams per gallon of salicylic acid to be the most effective for foliar spraying.
Since Scorpion Juice is listed at 20ml per gallon for foliar...that works out to
12.187 grams of Salicylic Acid per 1 litre of Scorpion Knockoff.
Salicylic acid is mearly...uncoated aspirin or can be found here...
So long and short is.... 1 Litre of Scorpion Juice knock off is
30 grams of Thiamine mononitrate 2.80
28.75 grams of 85% pure Chitosan 13.00
12.187 grams of salicylic acid 1.50
top up to 1L mark with distilled H2O
This will make a similar strength mixture to Scorpion Juice for only 17 bucks
Warning though....AN and many brands do not always put as much in their mixes as what they say....so start with less and build up
Just noticed that AN discontinued this....guess the profit margins were not there or not enough demand for it. Still there is the recipe for all you budding DIY'ers
