Daniel Fernandez is a Chemical Scientist/Botanist and he has an awesome blog, please see the links below any of which take you to his blog.. He is dedicated to solving the world hunger issue with very low cost Hydroponic systems, mixing your own nutrients, he has created a free hydro nutrient mixing program called Hydrobuddy. Tons of information specifically related to hydroponics and by a Chemical Scientist including info on stuff like Cobalt, Silicone and etc... Anyone else see his blog and a fat joint as a great Sunday?
Mixing your own damn nutrients for ridiculously cheap
Hydrobuddy is awesome it tells you step by step how to mix everything... Using only 3 or 4 main salts and some micro elements you can mix any formula you want. So say you see a label for something you wanna buy, anything scientifically proven useful to plants is usually listed on the label EXCEPT the micros sometimes. That is ok, we know trace elements are barely needed we can use our own mix for that with their other ratios.. So you see the power you have with just a few inexpensive salts, a gram scale and this program?
Copying or merging commercial nutrients
Hydrobuddy allows you to copy commercial nutrients using just the percentages of chemicals listed on a label with the weight of the liquids. So you are also able to get the final PPM contributions to your reservoir using this product, then do that same thing for all the remaining products you use.. Now you can have an idea of how much PPM of each element for example such as Nitrogen is the final value from mixing all your products!!! neat huh?
