raw data:
container weight:
16 fluid oz. liquid/472 ml

per tablespoon/~15 ml/22 g:
potassium: 730 mg/20%

calcium: 115 mg/10%

iron: 15%

magnesium: 8%

*vitamin b6: 10%

how plants use vitamin b6:

question:
what is the approximate n-p-k/nutrient profile of the above liquid?

Looks like a potassium boost/supplement with micros.

EDIT: I might could use that outdoors atm. What is it?

when mixed @ 15 ml (1 tablespoon), per gallon of water, what is the approximate nutrient profile, or ppm spreadsheet of each constituent?

for example:
xxx ppm of potassium
xxx ppm of calcium
xxx ppm of magnesium
...etc..

ppm has two variants, .5 and .7

if your meter uses 1382 calibration solution, it's .5
it your meter uses 1500 calibration solution, it's .7
for that reason, communication with other peeps gets confusing, depending on which meter you have.

both are used to measure EC (electrical conductivity)

an ec meter gives you one reading with no variable

in imagination, wand-type instrument.

.7...

measures ppm up to 3640, cf to 52, ec to 5.2...

question:

what is the approximate n-p-k/nutrient profile of the above liquid?

Those numbers look like they are off of a food molasses bottle?
This stuff perhaps?
https://www.wholesomesweeteners.com/b..._Molasses.html
If so, then those % numbers are daily food values, not related to npk for plant food..
0-0-3 would be the npk values of that bottle in terms of plant food.
3% potassium and .5% calcium
The container weight that you listed is not weight but volume.
I was able to figure weight from above link (704 grams).
Would need milligrams of all to determine full profile.
Iron and magnesium are missing milligrams on that list, so they cannot be determined.
So, at 1 TBS/gal:
n 0
p 0
k 147
mg undetermined
s undetermined
ca 30

when the complete profile is here, will reveal what the liquid is... dont want bias to form prior to full profile disclosure...
Why you gotta be stealing my thread?

I got 182.5 in my thread (also curious as to why you never replied. oh well).

So did you get 147 because only N is a 1:1 when it comes to NPK and K is like, I forget, 1:.82?

But seriously, I don't know if that means the raw proccesing has zero sulphur or maybe it has some and they just don't add more in the final outcome like they would a suplured version??

Anyway, I think it's safe to conclude this stuff is the CHEAPEST bang for the buck fert on the planet and actually has a pretty damn good ratio.

I'm using this more and more everyday. Still praying for no ants and suprisingly have not seen one ant. That just defies all logic but oh well.
