Nutrients Replicating a Part B nutrient solution

[BigCheezeDog]

So the last time I bought bottles of nutrients I looked at the labels and realized that part b was just Calcium Nitrate dissolved in the water I am way to DIY to let that slide.

So the label is 2-0-0 and the normal dilution rate is 5ml/liter so is that 2% of the stock solution or 2% after dilution 5ml/1000.

I will feel extra silly if I have been paying 11$cad for 20grams of Calcium Nitrate and water

my Calcium Nitrate is the standard 15.5% nitrogen and 19% Calcium

One of the Cdn sources of two part Mega Crop does not even list the official MC part B, they just sell the bulk Calcium Nitrate in the matching sizes. No point in paying for labels or water...

Not surprising.

Thinking about it the 2% must be before dilution since a 1litre bottle makes 200l of feed water. So I think I have my first answer and its just a standard ratio I know every gram of my dry has .15g of nitrogen

so .15/1 = ?/20 or
? = (20x1)/.15
?= 133.3g/l

If I did not see a chemistry youtube where the guy proved that Epson Salts are half water 133g/l would feel wrong but I think I am close.

Part A is the same deal.

Yea figured that out too, probably will end up mixing my own part A grow and part A Bloom.

For now, I'll keep it to the 1 ingredient input.

Jacks 321part B is also cal/nit but lists as 15-0-0
