Making Your Own Nutrient Concentrates

From Wiki:

Superphosphate fertilizers are produced by treatment of "phosphate rock" with acids. Using phosphoric acid, fluorapatite is converted to Ca(H2PO4)2:

Ca5(PO4)3F + 7 H3PO4 → 5 Ca(H2PO4)2 + HF

This solid is called triple superphosphate. Several million tons are produced annually for use as fertilizers.

The solubility (in water) of Monocalcium Phosphate is 2g/100ml.

Yeah great idea. The main problem I find is locating small amounts. Especially for heavier stuff, shipping is often a 200-500% markup to where I live.
 
Don't get HLG from Amazon if getting put on blast is a concern you have. I'm livid to have found this on my porch.

$1,400 for 5 lbs? :eek:
 
To create a Custom Substance from the Main Page, click Substance Selection, then in new window click "Add Custom"
Add Custom.png


Once the new window opens, you can type in the name you want to give it, the formula if you want it to be displayed, but when inputting liquid nutrients, you need to check the field next to Liquid. Doing so makes the Density field appear and this is where you would input the result of dividing the weight of the volume of nutirnet by the weight of the same volume of RODI. The result is the density. Usually 1 or 1.1, something like that. It is also important for some reason that the Purity be set to 100. It's likely that Purity means something else, but I didn't learn that yet.

Also, when creating custom substances, both wet or dry, you will need to reference the Guaranteed Analyses (GA) listed on the product label. The GA will tell you in percentages how much of each element is contained. Some things have micros, some don't. P and K, are usually listed as either P2O5, or K20 and you'll want to select each accordingly in their drop down menus. Silica also has a drop down that will be used the same way as Silica is delivered using K and will influence the final values. P and K, undergo a conversion factor which multiplies each by a known decimal to derive at available P and available K in the final recipe, otherwise the app will assume that other sources of each were used and will not be immediately available and will greatly affect the Result.

Edit - As a reference point, I'll include a screenshot of GH Flora Micro. Please note that the K has already been converted from K2O.

you're about to solve (not so much a problem 4 ME, but an irritation. I'd prefer perfection...) a problem 4 me, with this! my "too dark, too waxy, from no veg!"... i was going to go for something more customizable, than gen hydros rookie trio. yes, i found the "why"... far as dark n waxy, but I'm not changing my mind about veg'ing. only had the fuzz in my town, once n 3yrs and it's fro. the security sstm, light, heat, plant n HEIGHT. thank the baby jesus, i was home to address to occifer AND HIS LOVELY PET, or they'd have been dragging out, laughing, burning fireman.
 
oh... one of THOSE sites. yeah, it's funny that chloroform is otc, as r 2 of the lethal injection ingredients. anyone have an xxx-wife named kitty? "here, kitty kitty!".

Are you asking a question?
 
nope. u just gave me the tools. just sayin ty. can't sleep. still waiting on black doms to finish for a p.m. formula so I'm not mental, on 420site, til the buttcrack.
 
At a quick glance, besides the usual’ 50 lb bag problem’ I do see small amounts of that sold out there on eBay, usually classified as ‘food grade’

Thanks guys.
yeah,from the name of the substance, I'm guessing we, once, had a guy from Oklahoma, shopping something similar. ur goin to get us on A LIST... ;D .
 
shoot. sorry. tried to say that, elsewhere.
 
here's what i mean with dark n waxy. you can c the effect of no veg, in the leaf mutations.

 
I think my phosphoric acid is listed as an automotive substance. That was another 'on the whim' purchase as I haven't yet needed it, but it has a SHIT LOAD of P in it, but it's also the base for PH Down.
 
that's nothin! i know a barmaid at the vfw, who is equally as impressive with her knowledge and what she makes with it.

Do us a favor and wait till lights go off, then use a regular white light source to take photos with. Blurple lighting hides too much information and visible queues.
