Dry Ferts

[mooregary24]

Hi guys

I am going to make the move to dry ferts. Can any one tell me which powders i would need to get me going as i am reading different recipes on here. I am dosing CO2 and easy carbo along with liquid ferts at the minuite.
I have copied this recipe from the articles but it is missing ingredients compared to other recipies

macro nutrient mix is;
10 teaspoons of Potassium Nitrate
2 and a half teaspoons of Potassium Phosphate
dissolved in 500ml RO/deionised or distilled water

micro nutrient is; 3 teaspoons of Trace Element mix
5 teaspoons of Potassium Sulphate (though this is an optional extra really)
dissolved in 500ml RO/deionised or distilled water

Cheers Gary

Thx for the stats - 120 ltr is approx 36 US gallons I have rounded up the mix for a 40US gallon tank

here is your mix for a for 4 week period

KN03 = 4 tps mixed with 600 mls of warm tap water

KH2PO4 = 2 tps as above

MGS04 = 12 tps as above

50mls per dosage - 3 x per week (Alternative days IE. Mon - Wed - Fri)

CSM-B = 1 tps - mixed with 200 mls of tap water

25mls per dosage - 2 x per week (Between the NPK dosing IE. Tues - Thurs)
