How to Make Hydroponic Nutrients for Specific Plans
How to Make Hydroponic Nutrients for Specific Plans | lintangsore.net
Welcome to the lintangsore.net gardeners. Today I'm going to be explaining how to make hydroponic nutrients and how to take a hydroponic nutrients for specific plans requirements.
In this post is going to be the onion and first you have to find out the NPK ratios for the specific plan you wish to tailor the hydroponic chemicals to the best place to find this information is online on published scientific journals. So first we'll take a look at this document this is the document I found most useful when deciding what NPK ratio I should use in my hydroponic kits to grow my onions.
The NPK ratio that stood out was the ratio of 150 150 so I'll be using this ratio in my hydroponic kits in the greenhouse so nutrient I'm going to be using is a nutrient used for lettuces growing in hydroponic systems and there's a nutrient called ultra ultra green and this has a ratio of 23 6 and 10.
But this ratio is far too low for onions so if we timed this by 6 3 times the concentration below 6 they'll give us an NPK ratio of 138 36 and 60 so now we have to add another another chemical called mono ammonium phosphate.
whoa no ammonium phosphate and this has an NPK ratio of 1261 and zero so this will bring your NPK to 150 97 and 60 and 60 so that is very close to 150 150 that we need but this is far too concentrated to put in to a hydroponic system bear in mind that 150 100 and the 50 the onions
were grown in soil so to keep this ratio but reduce the concentration.
I'm going to divide this number 4 4 which will give us 37 point 5 by 24 point 2 5 and 15 so this NPK ratio will be the ratio are used to grow my onions in hydroponics
1 gal RO or distilled water
600 grams Masterblend 4-18-38 Tomato Special
300 grams Epsom Salt
1.5 grams Sodium Benzoate as a preservative
Part B:
1 Gal RO or distilled water
1,100 grams Calcium Nitrate (YaraLiva CALCINIT)
The above would make a 250x concentrate (each gallon of concentrate would make 250 gallons of working solution).
I use it at 15ml part A and 15ml part B for each 1 gallon of water.
With RO water you would get an EC of about 2.0 or PPM of 1000 at the 500 scale.
Working strength nutrient breakdown (approximate):
N - 203 ppm
P - 50 ppm
K - 200 ppm
Mg - 45 ppm
Ca - 220 ppm
S - 50 ppm
Fe - 2.5 ppm
Zn - 0.63 ppm
B - 1.27 ppm
Cu - 0.63 ppm
Mo - 0.063 ppm
Mn - 1.27 ppm
Cl - 12.7 ppm
Hope that helps. Again, this is not a fits all solution, just what I use personally, feel free to change the recipe to your requirements as needed.
Well to make it simple again let's go ahead and start with one gallon of water and then what all you need to do is basically the formula goes like this:
Since you made two hundred and fifty to one concentrate and if you're mixing one gallon of water then in one gallon there are basically three thousand seven hundred and eighty-five milliliters so
you take three thousand seven hundred and eighty-five milliliters divide that by two hundred and fifty and you come out with fifteen point four so we're going to just round out down to exactly fifteen milliliters which is what this is right here and you would just fill up your syringe with 15 milliliters of
solution a and go ahead and inject that into your water.
Let that mix up and then you would go ahead and do the exact same thing with your nutrient B obviously you would use a different syringe or at least wash this one out so that way you're not contaminating and creating a reaction Y by mixing these things while they're at strength.
You know at concentrated strength so I like to do is just basically draw it up a little bit so it can get some of that extra solution out of there and then I go rinse this off and rinse it out and then draw in your nutrient B which is your calcium nitrate at the same 15 milliliters per gallon and inject that in and mix that together so that's basically what it turns out to be is and if you're starting with reverse osmosis water your actual readings in this would be about in the EC of 2.0 well you know Siemens my milli-siemens or if it's if you're going by the ppm scale it really depends on which ppm scale you're using let's say the 500 ppm scale then you would basically have 1,000 ppm and you would just adjust the pH to your liking I like my pH to be somewhere around six point three six point four because I get a little bit better calcium absorption way which helps with the lettuces with their a tip burn situation.
You know whatever pH you like it at you can just go ahead and use your pH up to adjust to that and for my pH up I just basically use a potassium silicate and that raises the pH really well at the same time provides the silicon to help with the strength of this this basically strengthen the cell walls of the plants so that's it you guys thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for future posts.

How to Make Hydroponic Liquid Nutrients
Mixing your own from powders would save you a ton of money over the ready made stuff you normally would find at a hydroponics store. Works just as well if not better and you get to control what you put into them.My General Purpose Recipe to make hydroponic liquid nutrients:
Part A:1 gal RO or distilled water
600 grams Masterblend 4-18-38 Tomato Special
300 grams Epsom Salt
1.5 grams Sodium Benzoate as a preservative
Part B:
1 Gal RO or distilled water
1,100 grams Calcium Nitrate (YaraLiva CALCINIT)
The above would make a 250x concentrate (each gallon of concentrate would make 250 gallons of working solution).

There are great testing methods that are now available to determine what your needs are. CBD oil Benefits
