What’s a correlation between NPK and EC or PH measurement? If we can’t measure NPK at home, are we just supposed to assume the labeling is correct and in organic setting, it’s a guessing game?

[@josephdanglay8649]

Sir is it correct to mix fermented fruit juice with nutrient solution?

[@ZipGrowInc]

Sorry for the late response Joseph. In some types of systems fermented products are used to encourage healthy bacteria, but I would be hesitant to add fermented juices as this may cause malicious bacteria to form that can clog up your system. It is best to use hydroponic-specific products when going this route.

I really want to know these informations. Awesome. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sam111880]

Curious is there a difference between hydroponic based fertilizers vs soil based fertilizers vs aeroponic based fertilizers ? And thanks I do get N P K. On a different note by your logic high K would be great for root based veg's as well as nitrogen but less so for P unless you wanted flowers / seeds such as for fruit trees. Or orinental flowers / colorful bloomed flowers on bushes , trees , or house potted flowers. So if your doing carrots , beets , radishes , turnips ,...etc you probably favor a little higher K value with your N value high but with lower P value

Hey Ethan what is most suitable NPK formula to be used on bananas and pineapple in the sunny Caribbean. I await your informative response.

[@arturrostkowski2467]

Can you mix CN and nPk in one tank? Will it precipitate and for the unsoluble parts?

[@ZipGrowInc]

Thanks for your question Artur. In short, yes you can mix CN and NPK in one tank as long as you follow the appropriate dosage recommendations. You also want to make sure that each component is fully dissolved before you add the next. If you are mixing highly concentrated stock solutions, they will precipitate out, so you have to keep them separate until they are in your large volume of diluted solution.

[@sam111880]

Like is the same n p k valued soil fertilizer equivalent to uses as the same n p k hydroponic fertilizer or can there be distinction that would cause issues ? Just trying to figure out how portable an n p k value fertilizer from soil to hydro to aero could usually be. Maybe normally you have to get 3 different fertilizers with the same n p k but for different applications one for hydro , one for aero , one for soil. Not sure typically how that goes

[@thomascochran1052]

I have raw ingredients: nitrogen 20-0-0 phosphorus 9-61-0 and potassium 0-0-50. How can I turn this into a 4-4-4 mixture. No one explains this. I'm trying to dilute highly concentrated elements to this ratio. I have no way to measure this, I can't get any info on if the bag of 20-0-0 is that strong still after a teaspoon has been added to a gallon of water or not or if by adding it to a gallon that it has become something more like 9-0-0. I was looking for some info so I can precisely create my own fertilizer ratios myself without just following a schedule that someone has made and blindly following it. Any info is appreciated thank you.

Can I use NPK fertilizers alone in hydroponics? What is the number of each element

Hello! Yes you can use standard NPK fertilizers in hydroponics however you may want to make sure there is enough micronutrients and not too much Nitrogen as plants take up nutrients differently from water than they do soil

Hi..
Whats is the best npk fertilizer for hydroponic melons please?

[@MrK-wu7ci]

Forgot about secondary nutrients: Ca, Mg, Si, S. Actually Mg is more important in keeping your plants green than N. I think nitrogen use is completely overstated. The only deficiencies I've seen are because of a lockout, or some sympathetic nutrient like Potassium deficiency in late flowering. Also, there is a lot of nitrogen in the air as NO3. And nitrogen (and magnesium) burns roots very easily, unike phosphorus and potassium.

[@bharatkukreti8449]

Interesting observation. One of the farmer put some Urea (N=46%) around plants root leading to drying to plants.

[@MrK-wu7ci]

@@bharatkukreti8449 BTW in the 5 years I have slightly adjusted my opinion about nitrogen.
It is the growth nutrient, and should be applied in the growth phase, whether that is in vegging for a leafy crop, or in flowering for a flower crop.
If nitrogen is given too early, it leads to too much foliage growth (because that's what grows easiest), which leads to plants toppling over because the stem (K) didn't keep up, and the roots (P) not being able to supply enough water and food. Which leads to distress signals from the plant, insects showing up and infection.

[@bharatkukreti8449]

I really appreciate your channel and the valuable information your team providing .
Inspired by your channel ,I started growing some green leafy crops but I failed in maintaining them.
The major trouble I face is how to add the nutrients to the nutrients solution ,and which concentration they should be feeder at different stages of plant life cycle .
I need you to help us in preparation of nutrients solution .

Hey, thanks a very good info. What are the nutrients that's needed to feed my 2 weeks old cucumber??? Pls

[@krmagamerzzog6670]

Question!! If i have 1lbs urea (46% nitrogen) wouldnt i just add .46 lbs urea to 1lbs water to get 46% nitrogen water?
I dont know the solubility rate on urea in water but my product says its high

[@extendedwalrus9330]

why would you need such a high concentration of nitrogen water?

[@krmagamerzzog6670]

Its creating a nutrient mix (like a bottle of mygrow) once you have 46% nitrogen water (1 pound water to 1 pound D.A.P) devide 46 by whatever number to equal 3 (46÷16) then figure out how many ml in a gallon of water (3785) 3785÷16=236. The final equation in word form is (every gallon of fresh water needs 16ml of nutrient mix for a total of 236 batches)
That math is meant to create 3% nitrogen in your fresh\feed water. Follow the same steps to add P and K.
I found that though my math is great; i suck at chemistry and its hard to get the mix to react and combine together. My veg mix worked perfect and plants loved it but my flower mix never combined and stayed as sand in the bottom. Same products so idk what went wrong

[@krmagamerzzog6670]

I dont recommend this though after trying oersonally because youre plant still need things like zinc and such to put the nutes to good use.
I ended up sticking with cauliflower water and egg yolk water as needed. (Actually suprisingly bioavailable as is)

With traditional hydro nutrient, plants can be added as soon as you have your solution adjusted to an appropriate pH and EC. If you're doing organic hydro, it may take a week or longer to establish the populations of microbes within your system

[@mevofr]

Where the hell would you have seen a "75, 20, 75" ???

[@smokerfriendly420]

The NPK number is always a true percentage. If a product lists a N-P-K of 4-4-4, the fertilizer will always contain 4% of each of those three nutrients. The section on the package that says "guaranteed analysis" will list the exact percentage of N, P, and K that is present in the fertilizer, and what source that particular nutrient is derived from ( I gave an example in the video of the Nitrogen in DynaGro being derived from two different sources, the sum of those two sources being the total nitrogen percentage displayed in the NPK number). The guaranteed analysis will also list percentages of other macronutrients and micronutrients, if they are present in the fertilizer.

[@sanhess854]

It was just an example total production of product (12,45,0 43,0,0 20,0,0 0,0,60 etc) just cause one product say G.A. Dose mean inclusion of all products
