Hey fellow farmers-
I finally used up the big box of Growing Solutions Catalyst I bought last year. I've been looking into replacing it with a cheaper, and hopefully more effective home made blend. I was wondering if anyone else had much experience with this or had any info that would be applicable.
The GS Catalyst consists of humic acids, seaweed, rock powder, azomite and "botanical ingredients." The old original label says "yucca" instead of "botanical ingredients" so I am pretty sure that is what is still in there. I already have humic acid and seaweed in my brew, so it is the last two ingredients that need to be replaced.
I already have azomite, and I just ordered some calphos soft rock phosphate and pyrophyllite clay (Pyro-Gro Rare Earth Minerals) to make up the "rock powder." I got a recipe for ACT a while back that called for the following ratios, was wondering if anyone had an idea if these ratios sound right:
For 10 gallons:
25 mL Azomite
25 mL pyrophyllite clay
25 mL soft rock phosphate powder
