nothing stays a secret long and there is nothing that a nutrient company puts in their solution that wasn't discovered somewhere else or has been around for awhile. hydro companies aren't innovators in any way... just profiteers.
honestly, i don't try to reproduce anything accurately other than Spurr's formula's. the only additives i use are some kelp and humic acid and i foliar every week with a 25ppm solution of Triacontanol. the only thing i'd consider trying would be Capit's bennies
but i grow in rockwool and don't want to run much more than that.
as a point of reference, it took me about 1.5 hrs to mix up 3 3gal concentrated solutions. (an A+B+C) the only reason it took that long is that i find heating up the water makes it easier to dissolve everything. that will give me about 7 40 gal reservoirs worth of nutrients at around a 1.7ec.
in california you gotta be careful when growing commercially even with scripts. triple beams, lots of zip loc's, etc, will give them cause
you don't need a scale with Triac as they usually give you a measuring cup and i make about a gallons worth at 25-50ppm
it's oregon. They are the ones who require everything to be listed.
71, how are you liking spurrs forumla are you using the three recipe for veg, early flower and late flower.
and how bout the tria making any decent differences.
I only use a triple beam to weigh salts and bennies...
how much/when do you add tria?
I am really liking it. I was using Canna Aqua and I found that I got deficiencies much easier and quicker. Now, I don't worry about doing Cal/mag supplements and things are doing really well.
Since I've started growing, I've used Triacontanol in one form or another, so it is hard for me to know how much it helps. I do remember a buddy commenting that a strain i was growing that he was also, looked a lot different. For the price, I say why not use it?
Yeah, the cops in California aren't always especially honest and I've seen them try and make a case for a scale being used for distribution. Some house got busted somewhere in my area and the guy was just doing clones for people, yet in the paper the cops said he had enough plants for a street value of millions of dollars. regardless, in cali it is still an unsafe career
I dissolve and add the micros first, seems to help.Im using Jack's MOST for my micro and it clouds up my res when I add it...I add it after the A and B..Could the sulfates in there (me looking at iron sulfate) be binding to the calcium in the res and precipitating out? I had some pretty nasty white gunk at the bottom of my last batch...
Also thinking that if I premix the 5g (.1g/gal) of MOST in a gallon of water before adding to res it might solve the problem?
...worried i'm making gypsum in my tank...thanks folks
