how to create stock solution

[anasteso1454]

does anyone know how to create a stock solution for various liquid fertilizers, mixed together? I know this can be done with dry fertilizers, but liquid ones usually are sold as a % concentrated solution already.
anyone who is a math whiz want to give this a try?

i am a bit of a math whiz....

I need the % of ingredient from each product that you currently use ( for example product "a" is a 5% solution of potassium chloride, product "b" is a 10% solution of sodium phosphate, etc). Also provide the total quantity of each bottle of product (for example product "a" is a 250ml bottle, product "b" is a 3 oz bottle, etc)

Finally, tell me what percentage of each main ingredient you want to be in your stock solution.

I can determine how much of each product to mix together to create the desired end result, and just about anything else you need calculated.

anyway you do it if you're using all liquid you need 2 solutions and your micros should be kept in the fridge. p and micros need to be separate.

a typical ei dose consists of 1 part trace, 1 part kh2po4, 4 parts kno3 and maybe 1 part k2so4. it's pretty simple if you let it be.

Got a gram scale? Know about ml being equiv to gm? Got beakers, measuring cups which read in ml?

Tell us what chems and where you wanna go!

Point is, you may have to be a bit more specific ...

Use a dosing calculator:

No math skill required

Dosing cal's for aquariums have been around over a decade.
Unfortunately, that was long after I needed them.
You are more fortunate.
