Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?

I'm using phosphoric acid to pH down but might switch to citric acid, I'm noticing the amino acids I use have been bringing the pH down bit by bit but I need something to lower the it after silica. I could switch to using a silica dioxide but I heard citric acid doesn't stay stable or gets eaten up or something; so it'll be good enough to keep my pH down as not to cloud my solution when I'm mixing it. Yeah the purple stems are a dead give away but the P deficiency happened in veg, I'm working it back up right now. In regards to the Yucca I use it for the Saponins it contains (wetting agents), it's an aim on this grow to have as little to no salt build up and the Saponins assist in this. I don't know how I can really determine it's effectiveness for that particular use. All I know is my solution is stable and I literally add a pinch so the bag I got will last me for years...if it doesn't go out of date before then. It's a bit hard to compare grows as hydro and soil are really different. Anyways, I'm going to attempt making the concentrate tomorrow. Good luck and happy growing :)

Cal/mag ratio should be at 3:1 (Max 150cal:50mag). I use on soil Hakaphos Blue (15-10-15) from compo, in the flower, kristalon red with cal (11-11-24)...Other things i use are Humic, fulvo and Enzymes and a cheap pk 13/14 for the end of flowering. Yucca do Not really work, Safe your Money, i have Test it...you Dont Need it... 😉...your roots and plants Looks Great, only a Little More P the plants needed. What pH down do you use? Plagron and ghe keep the ph very stable...

Basically, if you look at my feed chart in the last picture of week 5, it's to replace the LKB which I'm just about out of. I'm not making this as a complete formula. I guess if anyone has mixed their own nute concentrates, whether there are some kind of additive that would keep the solution stable, Yucca? Would be really helpful. If there is an order that would be best to add etc...

Okay, my math friend helped me out...It's even stronger lol! 20 tsp is equivalent to 100ml. I knew something was completely off when I looked at it...Not a good idea to attempt math when you're bong over in the morning. I wanted to replicate Liquid Kool Bloom by GHE as I had all the raw ingredients on hand. Mono-ammonium phosphate, mono-potassium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate. It doesn't actually say how much Mg is in it but I usually match my Mg close to my K. I believe there is one other ingredient that is not listed on the bottle (fulvic acid) it has a brownish colour to it and it would make sense to put a chelator with it...could just be dye though.

1-2g/L . Water ec 0.3-.04 Ec with nutrients 1.2-1.5 For Bloom 8-12-24 its better and at the end flowering use the cheapest P/K u will find 0-10-10 are Not so good for Cannabis, they need N in every stage Take a Look at your cal/mag, its really significant for the plants

Im not sure about the Maths part of it but 4 tsp sounds a lot for 1 Litre Will you further dilute it?
