can someone point me in the direction of a good thread how to calculate nutrient profiles explained for an idiot, im retarted how exactly do i figure out the exact ppms of each nutrient based of the label?
c
you know how to convert right...When you find it, show me!
you know how to convert right...
i mean like, how do i determine ppm of n, mg, p, k, etc...
its probably some simple math calculation...
like how does desertsquirel in the post i quoted come up with those numbers by looking at the label.. told u i was straight noob status @ttystikk
Dankworth is a good resource for this. His veg and bloom formula threads are easy for a beginner to follow. Just remember, 1 ppm is equivalent to a mg/L pending on whether or not it is fully available (P and K are labeled on bottles as p2o5 and k2o, which only a percentage of are available to the plants immediately or shortly).can someone point me in the direction of a good thread how to calculate nutrient profiles explained for an idiot, im retarted how exactly do i figure out the exact ppms of each nutrient based of the label?

complete noobie here. read this thread from post 1. and started on the gardens cure thread elsewhere. i am slow. it took me days. and i still just don't effin get it. awesome thread. hope i can bump some new action.
i think i get the 3-1-2. basically 3g/g-1g/g-2g-g
i am highly technical and want to follow the rules, and can follow a formula better than an idea. i understand the why just not the how.
i need a good starting point and am curious what else is needed besides jacks 5-12-26, 15.5-0-0, and most.
and must i exclaim rather loudly, WOW, what a price bump/jump jack's has had. and to be sarcastically humorous, i blame it on this very thread. it is twice the price now what it was when this thread started. who's idea was that?
bump.
Consider looking elsewhere for salts, try www.customhydronutrients.com ...
Aside from the Jack's Hydro and Cal/Nit I also use Epsom salt at rates between .5g - 1g per gal but it's starting to sound like this extra Mag is not necessary.
Hey @ttystikk , I was looking into other nutrient companies (H&G & Canna) and noticed they both offer Humics and Fulvics. Are you running any products that offer these two, I believe Sea Green has these but that shit can get pricey if using it religiously.
Any updates on the different Jacks ratios mentioned earlier?I've been really trying to simplify my nutrient regimen to the greatest extent possible, to try and remove it as a variable when comparing different growing systems.
I'm running Jacks, epsom salts, MKP occasionally during flower and some extra micronutrient in veg and early bloom. That's it. I think humic and civic acids are considered to be mother nature's chelation specialists, helping dissolve nutrients into water. Since everything in jacks is already soluble, it made little sense to use it.

If you're open to suggestions check this product out...Humic acids are very beneficial to soil/soiless environments. They aid in soil quality, water retention, and increase microbial activity. Here's why..
:writing:
After a plant/animal dies in a forest it's remains are decomposed. The decomposition process involves biochemical reactions that leave a small portion of complex organic molecules behind that cannot be further broken down- Humus.
Humus is what makes up a great portion of healthy soil. Humus slowly releases elements back into the soil for recycling to the benefit of plants and micro organisms. Humic acid is water soluble humus- and it's not really acidic.
I run Jack's with Caps' bennies in pure coco substrate. I use Dr. earth's seaweed extract with humic/fulvic acids in my brewing process- but there are other cheaper sources and/or combinations. It helps keep my soiless biology thriving and improves water retention/nutrient uptake in coco.
:bookworm: So long story short, it depends on what you are doing but its great stuff.

Great source of Kelp and Humic acid
I just ordered the 4lb + 4lb combo pack; I'm on city well water so I don't think I need MOST.
