+Jon Green You are very welcome. Our goal is simple. Provide growers with real science so they can make educated choices.
Can I ask? What type or brand do they use in commercial lettuce. Is that buttercrunch/ Bibb. I can’t find the seed
Have you tried Johnny’s?
i am new to hydroponics and after looking at your very informative video , i now know i can make stock solution with my dry fertilizer . i will try it on my next fertilizer change out .
For anyone that disliked the video, can I ask why? (I am the GM of Hort Americas.)
Because people like that dislike who they are and will complain about the slightest thing even useful, free information that people took the time and effort to make.
Take what works and run with it and discard what doesn’t work.
What have we learned in 14 minutes: That dry fertilisers are cheaper because they are not wet fertilisers and wet fertilisers are wet because they are not dry fertilisers and its better not to buy wet because it isnt dry. etc etc.
STOP babbling and make a plan about what you want to say.
Can this stock solution be built using NPK 19-19-19? I do not have access to 9-7-37
Pramod – very sorry I did not see this. I will be difficult to do. Where are you located at?
@Chris Higgins he must be in India, as it is common here to get 19-19-19..
@Prateek Patil He was. Finding reliable hydroponic fertilizers in much of the world is not easy.
@Chris Higgins can you help with the nutrition recipe with 19-19-19? For leafy greens
@Prateek Patil We can provide you information/references on how to do the math. But, the supplier should really be the person helping with this.
Very informative and helpful video about mixing one’s own fertilizers. Looking for part 2 to really get into the details of mixing my own from dry powders. Thanks
