yan402 FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 🧠 Current Status First day feeding the Fantasy Feast girl with this base mix. Too early to tell how she’ll react, but so far everything looks clean and balanced. Ca + N from Calcinit and P + K from FERMAKOR should be plenty for a gentle start. Citric + FPJ round it off nicely. We’ll see how she takes it over the next few days before deciding if she even needs the urea and micros. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 19.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 → 2l runoff 20.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 → 2l runoff 21.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 → 1l runoff 22.10.25 VW26 -- Fed 2l of #1→ 0.5l runoff 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30 L #1 (Veg Strength) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Calcium Nitrate (Calcinit / Nitcal): 45 g = 1.50 g/L → ≈ 225 ppm N + 150 ppm Ca 🍶 PK Concentrate (FERMAKOR Base): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L → balanced 1 : 1 P : K support 💧 Home-made FFJ / FPJ (Fish + Veg Batch): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L 🍶 Citric Acid (Chelation & pH Balance): 1 tsp (max) = 0.33 tsp/L → add only after checking pH 💧 Target pH: ≈ 5.8 – 6.0 (drop test – yellow-green zone) 📦 TOTAL: ≈ 105 ml / 45 g inputs per 30 L (≈ 3.5 ml / g per L active mix) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 YouTube Link: https://youtube.com/@yan402-m8h?si=A7x4Zlr2kj-_ga31

Love your attention to detail. How long do you think your 30l barrel will stay clean? Are you using an air stone? Happy growing!

@tantrumrage, Not sure in this case to be honest with you as I'm doing it for a first time with this ingredients, but I whip it up every day so no air stone, my usual mix holds for a week max in the summer, it's usually empty before it spoils with 2-4 plants, winter a a couple of days longer, I'm going to have to try out and keep notes I guess. ✌️♥️

@yan402, ok that makes sense 😅 a week isn't too bad, my guess was 3-4 days.

@tantrumrage, MAXIMUM a week lol, depending on ffj/fpj inputs or whatever kind of organic you might use in combination, 3rd day I usually have to adjust my pH again. ✌️♥️
