    does anyone know how much micro nutes to add with your a+b solution ? will be getting around to trying my own batch of npk as i can find hydro micro's in a all in one dry solution mix. so my question is if my a+b solution is say 200ppm are my micro's to be say 10ppm? so i up to 400ppm would my...

    Requesting help with dry nutrients

    i would say you have way too much K locking out mag, your potassium sulphate has nearly twice the amount of k of MKP, considering your base nutes are also high in k i would ditch the potassium sulphate for a quick fix. ideally drop potassium sulphate maybe raise mag sulphate to 2.5-3g into a...

    making npk ferts

    fair call, i read up on calcium alternatives about a couple months ago doing research as i'm still learning too, what i took away from that is its not water soluble to a hydroponic standard as i thought i would take long time to dissolve in solution and most likely precipitate in the res so...

    STS feminized seeds production: No pollen produced

    making npk ferts

    if your not running soil and your in hydro medium i would rethink Calcium Sulfate: 198g ( aka gypsum, poorly water soluble, soil use only ) Ammonium Sulfate: 43g Monocalcium Sulfate: 113g ( pretty sure poorly water soluble or has issues with hydro, you might need to do more research to be 100%...

    DIY Hydroponic Nutrients in 5 minutes

    roots exposed to light - flood /drain - H2O2 - any negatives?

    very cool, picture says it all! nice healthy plants other than a very tiny bit of algae, i now know mine will be fine healthy with my h2o2 version so will rule out light as any real problem. we run a similar set up except my netpots are hanging in the pvc so more room for air i figure. thanks...
