Verdant's DIY Nutes

PS I've only used this formula for growing mixes/soil mixes one was coco dominant soil mix and it did really well, but not in hydropnics and myself and others have had good results, and less signs of nute burn or stress than with store bought nutrients. this formula took a while to come up with and is for personal use only to benefit the growers and save money. it is not to be used or distributed for monetary gain please. If anyone wants to try it out and leave their feedback that would be great. Molasses, humic acid, and potassium silicate can be used in moderation as well.

anyone ever heard anything about not mixing you cal/mg with npk fertilizers and using them on separate waterings, bing search suggested that but couldn't provide any valid links, it states that the calcium can combine with phosphate and make calcium phosphate which is not water soluble, and the nutrients compete for Absorbtion by the plant. the idea seems to have merit, yet I'm unsure, if anyone knows about this please share. in the meantime i have some seedlings im going to split into 2 groups and see if theres a difference in the growth seperating the ca/mg from the the npk, vs the group with combined npk and ca/mg the same watering. there not ready for nutes yet for another week or so, thatll give me time to make a fresh batch of nutes, and buy more cal/mg nitrate my old batch went bad, it got humid. its pretty cheap theres a local shop that will sell them by the kg, 1kg bag last a while and is generally inexpensive.
