This is veg formula. I have a bloom formula that I'll post soonWhat weeks do you feed this?
I'm recycling the containers until I upgrade to 15-20 gal opaque containers. This is not CESLooks like a cutting edge nute container?

Yeah I kind of figured it was something like that, I was just checking to be sure. Those injectors are pretty nice, how much did those run a piece and do you like those particular ones?
that's alotta' K...and not enuf S imho. plants in flower use more S than Mg..Not alot more but more. My recipe above was raw. Nowadays I run more like 60 to 65 S...100 K
Surprised that you think that is a lot of k. I have ran it up to 4 or 5 times n and did well. The difference between 140 and 100 seems kind of small.that's alotta' K...and not enuf S imho. plants in flower use more S than Mg..Not alot more but more. My recipe above was raw.

I must have mixed up a couple thousand five gallon buckets of nutes since this thread started. I have become kind of lazy, scoop of this, half scoop of that. Dont even calculate the ppm's these days. But yes, just add water, that sounds good, and recycle the dirt.I'm currently running my "super soil". I just add tap water. ZERO pH concerns, great results. hth
If you were to use a kind of water like mine what other factor would you pay attention to when formulating your own nutrient solution??
I would not know where to start with a CaCo3 number that high. I would be inclined to work with a water filter.

Hi guys, can someone help me understand this passage from Mel Frank's book? (see attachment)
Does it suggest to cut down N and to double K ratio at high temp/strong light (and the contrary at low temp/weaker light)?
Since english is not my first language i'm a little confused with "up to twice as much N as K", can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks in advance
I am a little confused by the amounts needed for this mix. Calcium Nitrate for example, 2330, is that grams per 10ml? or 2330 mg/10ml? Also, I realize this is a pretty old thread, but have people found recipes that work considerably better?to clarify, the A and B concentrates will have a pH of 5.8 and EC2.47?
Fatman's bloom recipe is meant for 20L (5.28 usgal) so I've converted everything to grams. note that you'll use less than 10L RO water per stock solution because the salts displace some water.
Part A (10L)
Calcium Nitrate 2330
Potassium Nitrate 442
Iron Chelate 202
Part B (10L)
Potassium Nitrate 442
MonoPotassium Phosphate 697
Magnesium Sulfate 1692
Manganese Sulfate 40
Boric Acid / Solubor 55
Zinc Sulfate 44
Copper Sulfate 9
Ammonium Molybdate 0.4
Volume of Stock Solutions 10L each of A and B
Dilution Rate 100:1 (10mL/L)
I got totally different weights, pH and EC using the calculator...?
one thing I noticed is that the Ammonium Molybdate adds NH4+...so I had to break down N to 228 ppm NO3 and 11 ppm NH4+. also, can you make a 250:1 solution by adding 2.5x the salts? or will something precipitate? Do you use humic acid?
AN and GH both add about 25% N as NH4+. How is this beneficial? AN states on p.117 of their 'how to grow bigger buds' advert, that they balance anions and cations to buffer pH. Is their 'pH perfect' tech helpful? or is it just a gimmick for noobs?
So that's over 5 pounds of calcium nitrate in 10 liters of water?That would be grams in 10 liters to make concentrate, then 10ml of "A" to 1 liter of water for feed.
