Old Reviews How can i work with these nutrient numbers?

[rshackleferd]

Below is a list of diy nutes from fatman, what i dont understand is how did he come up with these numbers? I know they mean ppm but how did he get the ppm figures? Nitrogen 267 Phosphorus 82 Potassium 291 Magnesium 93 Calcium 261 Sulfur 123 Iron 10.00 Manganese 5.00 Boron 5.00 Zinc 5.00 Copper 1.00 Molybdenum .09

Been a while since I heard that name. If it is like his old stuff I would assume that it is in ounces per gallon. In other words, when you mix it up the diy then for every ounce of mix you add to a gallon of water then you will have that ppm/gallon.

No its not ounces because he has the formula/recipe underneath it. From what i think it has something to do with the type of nutrients involved such as potassium nitrate "ko3", the percentages of each compound broken down into its parts. Im starting to grasp it but i road the short bus so its taking awhile . I have been making some of my own chem nutes for awhile with fantastic results, i just want to experiment with those compounds. The nute calculator is working wonders at the moment.

I divided all of them by nine and got some more easily graspable numbers. It seems like a formula for vigorous vegetative growth. If you convert everything to grams you should have the proper formulation. Then just use a tds meter to gauge how much you should use to get the desired strength. That's the sort of recipe you see a nursery or farmer using usually. You will have to buy all the separate chemical elements and weigh everything out. That sort of precision requires a scale not volume. It better be a hell of a recipe for all that work required. I would just use MHP Masterblend by Tyler. Good luck
