So I have large amounts of these nutrients for my planted aquariums:
Monopotassium phosphate (MKP) KH2PO4
Potassium sulfate K2SO4
Potassium nitrate KNO3
Plantex CSM+B:
Total magnesium(water soluble chelated mg) 1.5%
Copper(chelated) 0.1%
Iron(chelated) 7.0%
Manganese(chelated) 2.0%
Molybdenum. 0.06%
Zinc(chelated) 0.40%
Boron 0.8%
EDTA – minimum content 65.4%
I already have everything I need for the vegetative stages but I was wondering...
-Since most commercial flowering nutrients are just MKP, would I be able to just use what I already have without needing to buy any?
-Would I be able to use the Plantex CSM+B for trace nutrients?
-If I can use the nutrients I have, would they be enough alone? (I have a source for nitrogen that i will be using)
-Would i still need CalMag or will rainwater have enough?
-If the nutrients I have will be enough, what would be the dosages?
Since I have very large amounts of these nutrients I would like to use them any way I can, even if it means needing to buy other dry ferts to suppliment them.
I will be doing a simple 1 plant ebb and flow grow, using 3 gallons in the reservoir.
I've done alot of research on this and I have seen this question asked before but have very vague answers. I'm hoping someone here will be familiar with CSM+B and MKP and know what I would need to suppliment them with and how much to use per gallon.
Any help is appreciated.
