I know I appreciate it ..... The bags are small but if I can grow beast... It doesn't matter to me.... I'd be happy....

There you go, then

I think that’s what the knf thing @Fermented_Fruitz does is about….

Like for example, I watched a video showing how to use vinegar to extract calcium from eggshells, and you can use Epsom salt for magnesium/sulfur. Shit like that.

Hey, has anyone ever tried to make your own fertilizers? I'm talking about like NPK or Cal Mag, not composting.

I'm drying banana peels, collecting bones......think I'll buy the blood meal ( looked into making it...nope)
And using Epsom salt with my 1 part

 

[Lil Dab]

I have great results with 1 part and bud explosion alone. Some epsom and calmag. Cheap grows great smoke...

I mean, instrumentation is one thing but the proof is in the pudding, I say. Lotsa folks smoking lotsa great weed grown without all the extras. I was just trying to help when you said the only downside was it’s expensive. I was trying to point out that it doesn’t have to be.

Agreed you are 100% right I still have some 1 part i might go back as i had good luck with it also just don't over don't it i found IMO. But am trying repluticate @Mañ'O'Green work with my coco girls. this what i am feeding the APK #12 since week 9+ my whole feed chart is a mess so i just screened shotted the most recent feed and what i will finish feeding unless told otherwise I still have a long ways to go my VPD hasn't been 100% perfect

Starting PPM less <15 apera EC60 (tds. factor .5)

PH to 5.8-5.9

this what i am feeding the APK #12

Ah, perfect. I’m also growing APK right now with one part mc, sweet candy, and calmg pro so we should compare the end results. What size is your container and how far along are you?

All homemade nutrients

Using eggshells is no bueno cuz if any membrane left in the shells it’ll make it go bed! Use brown rice vinegar and oyster shell to make water soluble calcium! Add epsom to make calmag!

There you go, then

Thanks the money isn't the problem... I was just saying... Npk is expensive compared to mc..... For one bag of npk you'd need 20 bags to equal one mc bag..... But if it makes my grow good to the way.... Mog does... I'll be happy with spending the time and money.....

So that would be potassium, what would you do for phosphorus?

I heard you can just bake the eggshells for an hour or so in the oven and that burns off the membrane.
