if we can make our own nutes for dollars per gallon why not start with the 'ultra premium' formula? (connoisseur is $190/4L). i'm shocked that a 500g tub of bud blood sells for $274, for literally $10 worth of material :O i'm also shocked at the density of conn...FNB is 1.51 g/ml, conn is 1.025 g/ml...it's practically water!
using AN's calculator: conn runs weeks 1-7, big bud weeks 2-5, b-52 weeks 3-7, overdrive week 6-7. this 8 week cycle will cost $226.36 +tax, assuming a 100L res. diy should cost around $15.
i used pH's spreadsheet to calculate ppm based on the suggested application rates (4 ml/L for conn, 2 ml/L big bud, B-52 and overdrive).
total ppm, NPK ppm, overall NPK ratio
week 1: 960ppm 274-91-339, 6.7-5.1-10.0
week 2: 1040ppm 274-101-394, 6.7-5.6-11.6
week 3-5: 1120ppm 337-156-533, 8.2-8.7-15.7
week 6-7: 1040ppm 359-194-551, 8.7-10.9-16.2
week 8: flush
normalised for P overall NPK
week 1: 1.3-1-2.0
week 2: 1.2-1-2.1
week 3-5: 0.94-1-1.8
week 6-7: 0.8-1-1.5
if you ignore b-52, you have the same formula from week 1-5.
weeks 1-5: 274-108-425
calcium nitrate 574g
potassium nitrate 300g
epsom salt 300g
potassium phosphate 190g
standard fatman micros
4L 100x stock solutions
this is equal to connoisseur plus big bud. note that calcium went from 74 ppm to 243 ppm. calcium is 89% of nitrogen.
weeks 6-7: 297-139-413
ammonium nitrate 154g
calcium nitrate 531g
potassium nitrate 247g
potassium phosphate 244g
this is equal to connoisseur plus overdrive. i used 10% ammonium nitrate to keep calcium from reaching 300 ppm (it's 225 ppm).
