The great thing about Hydro Buddy is when you learn to use it, you can reformulate your branded nutes so you can change a few things up to get a better formulation. It's not as good as mixing from salts, but it still allows you to use your current supplies to make a better mix for your crop...

I weight out the salts only when making my concentrates. I stuff enough chelated micros to make 500 gallons of feed into a half gallon jug which is a 1000:1 ratio. I also make individual concentrates from macros, but those are just a 10:1 ratio. When this is done, and I mix my watered down...

Before trying other brands, consider reading the first 3 pages of my tutorial on 420. https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/making-your-own-nutrient-concentrates.455187/

Great perspective! This is why I went fully salt based nutes. Fuck ALL brands! None of them are geared towards Canna, let alone Sativas vs Indicas, or even strain specific. The way I do it is all about NPK and nothing more. I can change the N only, or any one or several elements as I see...

sure, but you'll get way better chances of a reply on 420, but if I get the notice, I'll reply here too.

Where ya been man? We miss seeing you on 420, but I know the feeling of familiar spaces. Woody is still running your Purple Primate and he loves it! If you get a chance, pop in and say hi.

Thanks man!

Hygro Hybrid also lost a crop in sterile DWC after about 2 years of success. The best and most efficient way to clean root exudates is for microbes to eat them off. In a sterile res, those exudates will simply keep accumulating and contributing to the slime buildup and eventually, something is...

I've been harvesting mine right about 8 weeks for more than 6 mos now in potted rockwool.

That's a good start, though their products are extremely limited, so the potential is equally as limited. If you live in the lower 48, I'm hard pressed to find another distributor other than CustomHydroNutrients.com that has as extensive of a selection of plant food at such a cheap price per...

As far as I know, Hydro Buddy only runs on Windows or Linux, so if the Mac is all you have, you'll either need to install a "virtual machine" app on Mac and then run Windows on the VM, then you could use Hydro Buddy. Otherwise you could use the Excel Spreadsheets, but those, you'll have to...

It's kinda hard for me to ignore the word right there, but if it's helpful, we can just call it their 3rd formulation.

Here's what I make now. FYI, for every gallon I make, I add 3.8ml of micro concentrate per gallon. When I work out my micros, I no longer consider them in hydro buddy. And here's one where I tried to resolve the above targets, but using only the GH 3 part. It came fairly close, but the...

In my 420 tutorial, on the top of page 3 is a Bil Of Materials with links to everything, but generally it's Boric Acid Sodium Molybdate Iron DTPA Manganese EDTA Zinc EDTA Copper EDTA Sodium Benzoate (preservative that prevents an algae outbreak in the micro concentrates) With those, I can...

No, never heard of Polyphos.... Megacrop's 3rd formula is called Vegan (9-6-17), and if you calculate 5grams of the MCV plus 5ml of Botanicare Calmag, those results are what I set my targets to and my plants love it. I mix the fulvic/humic blend according to instructions, 1/4 TSP/Gal. The amino...

They're made from sulfates which means you can't mix them into concentrates which means you have to weigh out your needs each week which involves a dust mask at least. I favor going through all of that once to make a liquid concentrate. Also, if you desire to change the formulation, you can't...

I used STEM which is the same as MOST, and both suck IMO. Best bet is to buy chelated micros and mix your own blends.

I used to use the Aminos too but found my plants slowed down their grow speed. Now I only use the AA in my foliars. I'm following a Canadian that's in the same boat as you, unable to track down good materials up there and getting murdered with shipping charges from CHN. You can track down...

No, though Custom Hydro sells most of those biostimulants as well, but that's another topic. All I add outside of the salts is a soluble blend of fulvic, humic, kelp that I get from Kelp4Less. FWIW, I also use foliar sprays, and I add triacontanol @ 5-25ppm every other spray.
