do you mix the 2 products when you make the stock solution or do you feed from 2 different tanks.

How do you go about the S and Ca ions in solution together in your fts or other hydroponic system ?

Think of any A & B base nutes , that's what your Yara stock solutions are

i use blue & scarlet with coco, theres a touch too much nh4+ in blue for my liking but it helps keep the ph stable in the medium witch is great when using tap with medium to high alkalinity
need to get calcinit but havent never had calmag deff.. due to using tap water...
but want to change to RO so calcinit is a must
i just mix the salts each time i top up the res, i dont make a stock solution, just as easy and less that can go wrong imo.
1.2 - 1.6 EC in Flower is as high as i go... less is more and like Billy Liar mentioned. less is more!!
I think it all depends on the system and the water you are running but they work really well, i will never go back to bottled nutes!

Can you please share the ratios your friend uses for Haze? Cause i see it is alot of n in my plants. I'm working with the Hy-Pro Cut. 10 weeker. Bumped her to 1.4 ec in main flower. Final Product was OK. But not near the quality of some hybrid i growed with just 1:1 ratios calci/krista.

week / kristaBrown / Calci / EC Tap water EC was 0,7 (mostly camg)

1. week 100:100 1,1
2. week 100:100 1,2
3. week 100:90 1,2
4. week 100:80 1,2
5. week 100:80 1,3
6. week 100:70 1,4
7. week 100:50 1,4
8. week 100:50 1,4
9. week 100:20 1,4
10. week 100:20 1,2

Kristalon from Yara?

[nuttso]

Yes Kristalon Brown 3-11-38 and Yara Calcinit 15.5 - 0 - 0 - 26.5 (CaO)

I mixed 500g KB in 5 liter distilled and 500g CAlCI in 5 Liter destilled. And worked the ratios from there.

I just noticed that me2 said in this thread that you have to use 4 liter mix the salt and top up till you have 5.

Hmm

[nuttso]

bump.-

can someone with enough posts msg Billy Liar and remind him of this thread?

[Me2]

you want exactly 5L when its fully dissolved. If you add 5L of water + 500g of salts you`ll have a weaker stock solution.

[Billy Liar]

Yes you're making a solution containing the amount of salts. Different salts displace a different amount of water. So for exact dosing you want a volume of solution containing a known amount of salt. Ie, a 5L (volunme) solution containing 500g (amount) of salt.
Therefore 10ml of stock contains 1 gram of salt.

A final solution which you feed your plants containing 1g/L of calcinit will give 155 mg/L of N + any N in tap water.
A final solution containing 0.5g/L will give 77.25mg/L+ N from tap. If my mental arithmetic is anything to go by lol... But that's how to dose accurately using concentrates. Another way is to add the salts directly to your tank and weigh them every time. Concentrates take out the weighing as a measure is easier to dose accurately especially for micronutrients.

I've learned a hell of a lot since I started this thread lol....

Peace
