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 β€” first week running without them) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 Β°C) β†’ 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 β†’ 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 β€” 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) β‰ˆ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone β€” looks alive and active. πŸ‹ Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. πŸ“¦ Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water β†’ pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green β€” 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. πŸ’§ Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water β‰ˆ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g β†’ N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml β†’ P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp β†’ Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml β†’ Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± 19.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 20.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 2l runoff 21.10.25 VW26 – Fed 3l of #1 β†’ 1l runoff 22.10.25 VW26 -- Fed 2l of #1β†’ 0.5l runoff 23.10.25 VW26 -- no water no feed 24.10.25 VW26 -- Fed 2l of #1β†’ 0.5l runoff 25.10.25 VW26 -- Fed 3l of #1β†’ 1l runoff 26.10.25 VW26 -- Fed 3l of #1β†’ 1l runoff πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ Nutrients in 30 L #1 (Veg Strength) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ Calcium Nitrate (Calcinit / Nitcal): 45 g = 1.50 g/L β†’ β‰ˆ 225 ppm N + 150 ppm Ca 🍢 PK Concentrate (FERMAKOR Base): 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L β†’ balanced 1 : 1 P : K support πŸ’§ 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 β†’ add only after checking pH πŸ’§ Target pH: β‰ˆ 5.8 – 6.0 (drop test – yellow-green zone) πŸ“¦ TOTAL: β‰ˆ 105 ml / 45 g inputs per 30 L (β‰ˆ 3.5 ml / g per L active mix) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ 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!
yan402
yan402 commented18d ago
@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. ✌️β™₯️

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

yan402 commented17d ago
@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. ✌️β™₯️

@tantrumrage, Seems that this one holds its pH steady for longer than the standard barrel, just thought of giving you an update lol, ,✌️β™₯️

yan402 commented11d ago
@Natrona, Yeah I think so to, nutrients seem to be working fine for now, even if it doesn't end up perfect by the next grow or the grow after I'll be spending pennies per grow instead of the cutthroat prices they charge for bottled nutes. Thanks for dropping by sister πŸ™, you are always welcome in my garden ✌️β™₯️
