Thx for the confirmation... I'm very interested in making the 9/18 or even better, some diff ratios using the same ingredients... :thinkingWhen I mixed it myself from the same dry ingredients that AN uses, the make it yourself stuff comes out within 10 ppm of AN's. So the 9/18 concentration is true.
If they are making it 4/8 now...it means that you would have to use double the amount now as you did before, to have the same results as before.
But please guys....brew up your own batches of this as it costs less than a buck per litre after your initial investment in the two ingredients (not including water)
have any of u guys tried ginormous 0-18-16 it may be the next best thing after the hammerhead,whats the shelf life of hammerhead anybody know.
Hi lilzayne, Hammerhead PK 9/18 was that strength all along, so the person who told you that it was 4/8 was wrong. I only say this because I mixed up a batch myself of 9/18 which is 9% phosphate and 18% Potash.

Exactly, here is an explanation I found online.
"These numbers represent the percentage (by weight) of the three major nutrients required for healthy plant growth, always in the same order: nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (N-P-K). Each of these nutrients affects plant growth differently, and the formulation you select should depend on your specific gardening needs."
So since it is the percent of weight you would need a little over twice as much to get the same product. Looks like they decided to water it down.

I was in the hydro shops last week and was disappointed to find that the 4/8 costs $7 more than the 9/18... Seems like a couple bucks to mix your own PK booster, to save over $40 (or $80 for two bottles of 4/8) is well worth it... Mind sharing some links on the ingredients and proper ways to mix them budboy299? :wondering
I just fed for the first time with ginormous yesterday. I added 5mL per gallon. I am currently using the 8/16 Lucas formula and 5 mL Cal Mag Plus with RO water in FF Happy Frog soil. I didn't dilute my regular mix and the ladies are doing just fine today. I'll keep you guys informed on the progress.
Was still thinking of trying the humboldts ginormous in lieu of the hammerhead just to see whats doing>>>>but im still to chicken to switch<<<<Definitely let us know what you think of the budswell compared to the hammerhead:)
:passingjoint:
gtd
... the exact same mls between the hammerhead PK9/18 and the one I had mixed up and knew for a fact to be 9% and 18%...both came out within 10ppm of each other.
Thx for the details budboy... I'm gonna pickup HammerHead PK 4/8 and test it to what's left of my 9/18. If it truly is close to half the strength, then that means by simple math, it would take nearly twice as much to reach the same PPM's... :thinking If it's the same as the old formula, then GTD is right, but shame on AN for constantly changing labels and/or misleading us... Similar to the Bud Candy change... We need consistency and the ability to purchase the same product round after round so we can dial things in.
