macronutrients grams per liter

potassium nitrate 1.02

calcium nitrate .49

ammonem dihydrogen phosphate .23

magnesiem sulfate .49

 

micronutrients millgrams per liter

boric acid 2.86

maganese chloride 1.81

cuprous sulfate .08

zinc sulfate .22

molybdic acid .09

what name does this go under at stores???

and what does FeEDTA go by in stores???

Just buy ready made, 'off the shelf' pre-mixed nutrients, and do away with the hassle of mixing your own. You will only get it wrong, and yet another project will end on the scrap heap.

 

They are cheap to buy, and any hydro store owner will direct you in the right direction.

Yeah, waste of time and effort making up your own, and whilst you might save a bit, if you make a mistake your plants are screwed.

 

Just buy a ready made nutrient, these are widely available, even in the states nowadays.

I'd reccomend using canna aqua for a first time hydro it does what it says on the bottle and once you're on full strength you dont need to worry about the ph.

 

I've used it in nft flood and drain and am now using it in the aquafarm dripper range.

 

I rate it and still use it.
