T.S.P will it work for phosphate? other dry firts i can find at store????

Here is one classic recipe for macro nutrients using local sources. Use 1 ml per ten gallons, daily.

Start with a cleaned 2 liter pop bottle of distilled water.
Add 11 teaspoons "Stump Remover", from a good hardware store. KNO3
Add 1 teaspoon Fleet brand enema, from most any drug store or hygiene aisle. KPO4
Add 2 teaspoons Epsom(s) Salt. Grocery store or drug store. MgSO4
Shake really well before using. Some people add some (a couple of drops) muratic acid (for cleaning brick or cement) as a preservative.

I suggest just freezing it in smaller quantities. Thaw enough for a couple of weeks use.
You'll need some micro nutrients.

I suggest getting together with a couple of friends and ordering dry ferts from an online source. Simpler to deal with and less apt to grow algae in the container.


 
thanks guys i appreciate the answers i just was looking for alternatives as im an experimenter at heart and looking into all the npk chemicals i can find around town ill probably end up getting the ferts online im saving up but its been really hard round here lately.
