As the heading suggested I've got many questions. Liquid oxygen/ hydrogen peroxide. I'm presuming that the only criteria for this is the diluted strength and whatever it's diluted with. Can anyone confirm this for me.
Next and similarly basic I think. Would a plaincalcium mono nutrient alongside some Epsom salts be like calmag. The only problems I have to implement this is not knowing what strength the Epsom salt is so I don't know how much to use and secondly I don't currently have a calcium mono nutrient. Also the magne-cal I have,has a ferrous (iron) content. I've read somewhere that if you put say a bit of rusty iron into a molasses and water solution , the molasses will'chelate' the iron. Infact molasses Will do this to alot of elemental nutrients.
I actually believe that buying purpose made nutrients and supplements is the easiest way to go but I don't always have the money for this and it's nice to have a good understanding of what's in your nutrients and how it's all working.
I'm hoping someone can point me to the right material so I can read up on this myself or of course if anyone can explain the issues I have mentioned then great.
Also now I've remembered. Is it ok to mix say that last drop of a plain base nutrient mix with another mix you might have like I'll put enzymes and a rizo boost in what is supposed to be a flush sometimes. So yeah if you have two separate mixes that have been ph'd is it possible to bung them in a tub together or does it vary according to what's in the mix, or even is it just a no-no once a mix has been done and ph'd ???
Ah yes and then there's the effect of some nutes or supplements on the pH. Do rizo boost products raise the ph once they're in with the roots? Does the iron in my magne-cal raise the pH. I know what their ph is once I've mixed up a feed, but what happens when you leave it to do it's thing with the roots in the coco is probably quite important. Anyone?
