Making Your Own Nutrients

[anguscr 290]

I found at How To Hydroponics 4Th Edition-, an interesting way to do your own nutes.

The weights shown in the following tables are based on

making 1 gallon of stock nutrient solution. To make more than a

gallon, multiply the gram weights by the total gallons of stock

nutrient solution you require, for example, 2, 5, and so forth.

These formulas have all been tested with a wide variety of plants

in the same system, and have performed quite well. However,

your results will depend upon the quality of raw materials and the

precision with which you combine them. To mix your nutrient

solution, fill an empty container with clean, warm water. Multiply

the listed gram weights of each specific salt by however many

gallons your container holds and dissolve each salt one at a time

before adding the next. Once all salts are dissolved, allow the

solution to cool before diluting it for production use in your

reservoir. You will need an EC or TDS/PPM meter to determine

how much of these stock solutions you will need to dilute into

each gallon of water in your reservoir.

To make 1.00 gallon(s) of VEGETATIVE NUTRIENT 9.5 - 5.67 - 11.3

Use 6.00 grams of Calcium Nitrate Ca(NO3)2

2.09 grams of Potassium Nitrate KNO3

0.46 grams of Sulfate of Potash K2SO4

1.39 grams of Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4

2.42 grams of Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 * 7H2O

0.40 grams of 7% Fe Chelated Trace Elements See Trace Box

To make 1.00 gallon(s) of FRUITING NUTRIENT 8.2 - 5.9 - 13.6

Use 8.00 grams of Calcium Nitrate Ca(NO3)2

2.80 grams of Potassium Nitrate KNO3

1.70 grams of Sulfate of Potash K2SO4

1.39 grams of Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4

2.40 grams of Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 * 7H2O

0.40 grams of 7% Fe Chelated Trace Elements See Trace Box

To make 1.00 gallon(s) of FLOWERING NUTRIENT 5.5 - 7.97 - 18.4

Use 4.10 grams of Calcium Nitrate Ca(NO3)2

2.80 grams of Potassium Nitrate KNO3

0.46 grams of Sulfate of Potash K2SO4

1.39 grams of Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4

2.40 grams of Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 * 7H2O

0.40 grams of 7% Fe Chelated Trace Elements See Trace Box

Chelated Trace Element Mix

Iron Fe 7.00% CopperCu 0.10%

Manganese Mn 2.00% Boron B 1.30%

Zinc Zn 0.40% Molybdenum Mo 0.06%

I was wondering if the recipes for veg & flowering will aply to the Cannabis, or if there's already a good recipe set for cannabis, so I decided to post it to get your opinions.
