Solufeed 2:1:4 and Solufeed Sodium Free TEC or Solufeed Coir TEC Combination

[dw1305]

Hi all,

TNC Complete: £2.40
TNC replacement: £2.01
2:1:4/TEC S-F: 59p

Price <"really is the only difference">, there is no <"question of aesthetics"> <"with fertilisers"> (other than <"the container they come in">).

N, P, K accumulation which is why I don't dose EI levels of fertiliser... or looking again at Happi's recipe maybe I do ??

Looking at your Salvinia and Limnobium etc, they look <"lush"> and <"super-green">*, suggesting that you could reduce nutrient addition a bit.

This is the Leaf Colour Chart, from the linked thread <"The scientific background to the "Leaf Colour Chart"">

* Not necessarily <"a bad thing">.

Cheers Darrel

Not related to this thread in anyway, but Experimental Setup with silica sand, my own custom liquid fertilizer. less than 0.1 ppm Fe weekly
example:

Can someone clarify something for me?

Using the recipe below, is this effectively EI levels of nutrients? If so i might dull them down a bit as i only tent to water change once every two weeks.

500 ml solution, 20 ml per 50 gallon

Step #1
start with 450 ml Distilled water

Step #2
Add 0.25 gram potassium sorbate and mix till fully dissolve

Step #3 (Pick one from the list below, White Vinegar is Preferred) and mix till fully dissolve
Add 0.25 gram sodium benzoate
Add 0.5 gram Ascorbic acid
Add 5-10 ml White Vinegar

Step #4
Add 31.545 gram Solufeed 2:1:4 and mix till fully dissolve
Add 5.721 gram Solufeed Sodium Free TEC and mix till fully dissolve

Step #5
after mixing all the chemicals, add distilled water to reach the 500 ml solution

I would say about mid EI dosing

This is closer but some nutrients are above/below EI full
Always easier when using single salts

Ah. I didn't realise solufeed had been added to the fert calculator. I'll go have a play with that!

We had it done about the same time as Happi started this thread - Great minds think alike. Small advantage of the IFC is you can also add/use the salts you can still get like epsom salt , KCl, K, PO4, urea prills etc to hit the targets you may struggle with with just two compound salts from solufeed

go to core setting and swap it out for Ammonium Nitrate - we did it so any suitable AIO salt can be easily added, There is three to choose from ATM

Dumb question, but what to i then do after that?

Set you tank and dosing details, select your regime/clone/parameters in targetcalculator

select multi salts eg

Target calculator will work out amount needed based on your NO3 and Fe target of regime/clone/parameters
It will show also how close other nutrients are to your regime/clone/parameters - if Mg is low a little epsom salts is easy fix etc.

DIY calculator will could also be used and you enter mass of multi salts and it gives you the results


Target Calculator is best IMO
