- Good day happy viewers!
Today we show you on to prepare and mix dry nutrients for your hydroponic farm.
There are many benefits to mixing your own dry mix such as better storage, making custom mixtures to fit your needs and costs. Dry mixing nutrients could be another useful tool to use as you make your way on your hydroponic growing journey.
If you have any suggestions we would like to read all about them! Comment below and we may showcase the question in a future video.

Just a quick edit:
When we discussed the quantities you need to mix, you need to mix 600 grams of Calcium Nitrate.
Hope this helps!
If you have any questions, comments or concerns let us know down before and If you have any ideas for future videos, we would love to hear them.
Much awaited video. Thank you.
And thank you for watching!
Great video, Ty!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Sir... It is very useful for hydroponics beginners... Thank you Sir for sharing your valuable information on hydroponics...
We are glad to help!
Nice video. Thank you
The ratio NPK/CaNO3/MgSO4 2/2/1
I read somewhere the ratio is 3/3/1
Thank you
It depends on what you're growing as well as the ratio of N-P-K to one another. Normally the ratios of NPK and CaNO3 is calculated so as to hit a target PPM for N. Different crops have different nutrient needs. Here's a really informative factsheet about mixing dry nutrients: e-gro.org/pdf/E305.pdf
You discussed the quantities of NPK and Epsom salt but forgot to include the quantity of calcium nitrate. How much do you put in with 600g of mix and 300g of mag sulfate?
Hello!
600 grams as well. Thank you for pointing that out for us!
I am living in a country where hydroponic nutrients are almost impossible to find. People who are selling charge over prices which is far more expensive than in USA. What available material is NPK 20 20 20 TE, Epsom salt and calcium nitrate in loose packings. So my question is can you guys make a video how to prepare hydroponic nutrients with this available material. I'll be really thankful to ZipGrow.
Hey, what plants would you recommend to grow in a very beginner, casual and small hydroponics system? Is Malabar Spinach a good choice? What other plants are similar to it?
Good Day!
Lettuce, kale, and basil will grow under similar conditions, grow relatively quickly, and are easy to use... a great place to start. We've not yet grown Malabar spinach in our system but it would be worth trying, a great substitute for traditional spinach that you can get multiple harvests from and tolerates a much warmer temperature too.
Let us know how it grows!
@@ZipGrowInc thank you!
Thanks for the video. I missed that part of solution B.... what is solution B? Your video shows MgSO4 being mixed with NPK blend as solution A. I suppose solution B is Epsom Salt+water?
Epsom Salt is MgSO4. I think Nutrient B is Calcium Nitrate
Thabks for the video!
May i know whats the NPK ratio you are using? İm a total beginner.
Hello!
We use Masterblend 8-15-36, and Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0 with Epsom salts
Thanks for watching!
@@ZipGrowInc thanks for your reply!
İ have npk 8-16-24. Would this work too do you think?
@@ZipGrowInc love your work
about calcium nitrate
can you show me the bag you have ?
i didn't find in Yara liva products calcium nitrate, i found calcium carbonate
This is an older video, but you can find our most current recommendations for nutrients in our e-commerce store here- shop.zipgrow.com/search?type=product&q=nutrients
If I already mixed a small amount of NPK & Epsom salt, but I want to add another amount to it, How can I balance it without making any precipitation ? Can I add Epsom salt directly to this mix then add NPK?
If you would like to add more Epsom salts and NPK into your mixture, it is best to add them one at a time. Allow the Epsom salts to dissolve in the solution before putting in the NPK. If you add both at the same time, they can precipitate on contact because of their higher concentration %.
how many litres of water is in the big tank?
Hello Moein, Thanks for your question. Our main reservoir is an IBC with a capacity of 1000 L but we have it set to never go over 800L so that if we turn of the main pump the excess water coming back doesn't overflow.
On what types of crops we can use it
We mostly use it for greens and herbs like lettuce, kale, basil, mint, etc. Fruiting crops such as strawberries and peppers can also be grown with this recipe, but you might need to optimize the temperature to get better results.
@@ZipGrowInc can you please tell the quantities of nutrients and procedure I want make 4000 liters of liquid for my land
I was listening for the calcium nitrate ratio but I'm assuming you are Huynh use 600g also
Great video though
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
