Yes Medicalary, perfect explanation. Dickhead, if you need to visualize it in your head, a simple way to put it is that in dynagro 9-3-5 in any given amount there will be a ratio comprised of: N-P-K where
N (nitrogen) =9 parts
P=(phosphorus) =3 parts
K=(potassium) =5 parts
No matter how strong you mix it into your water it will have the same RATIOS, but just at different total strength depending on dilusion (ppm).Say you want to have a higher ratio of potassium like 9-3-25 - If you mix the 9-3-5 product with exactly equal amounts of a 0-0-20 product you get:
9-3-5
+-+-+
0-0-20 = 9-3-25 as your final ratio.
Then you take that and just mix the proper amount into water to get the ppm you want, but it will always be at the same exact ratio. The thing you have to be careful of is mixing the full strength nutes to eachother because some of them do not play nicely together in high concentrations- hence why most nute brands have a part A and part B. Luckily dynagro seems to be special in that it can all be in one bottle and they say it's a trade secret how they make it work that way. Hope this makes sense. Once you wrap your head around it- it's not so complicated until you try to make a certain N-P-K ratio out of different amounts of different bottles, since they might both include N when you are only trying to raise your K then you have to account for the extra N that comes with both bottles if that makes sense. There are "nutrient calculators" online you can use for this sort of complexity, a good one to start with is the "canna-stats calculator" which you can read more about and find here: http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/articles/profiles.htmr
The cool thing about Dyna is really all you have to do is fine tune HB's guidelines for your situation by watching the plants. A little more or less grow, bloom, protekt and magpro, and that's as hard as it will be to get great results. (other than keeping the ph in check and providing the correct ppm's).
