Sounds like you should start your own thread. Because that is 100% irrelevant to this one.

That would be awesome.

http://www.rightpricechemicals.com/buy-sodium-hypochlorite-12-5-solution.html There's a 12.5% solution. The conjugate acid/base pair for sodium hypochlorite is Sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid.

If a fertilizer can't maintain a consistent blend, then don't use it.

Yeah, that's right. And is essentially why I don't use it in solution.

I've never used it. http://www.seaagri.com/docs/competitive_analysis_smfa_creation_redmond_midwest_labs_nov2012.pdf It's very very high in chlorides. So, it's not something I'll ever use.

I'll be honest, I've read many varying views on this. There are two reasons I suggest foliar spray. One is that is creates a basic solution on the surface of the leaves which itself can be beneficial at preventing molds/mildews from sticking around. Two is because the solubility of silicate...

The point to using organic and synthetic fertilizers is to gain many of the benefits of organic as well as the benefits of synthetic fertilizers. In organic fertilizers, you find amino acids and occasionally some hormones in addition to your more normal NPK, Ca, Mg, etc. You add synthetic...

I feel like you misunderstood what I said, and that's okay, because I can be shitty at communication sometimes. If a fertilizer blend has 3% nitrogen, it can be in 3 forms. Most commonly Nitrate or Ammonia, though. 3% Nitrate will has a slightly different effect than 3% Ammonia, but overall...

Their website. Did you even consider starting there? I mean, seriously, use the Google. Says If you want to buy it's constituents and mix it yourself, you're in for a lot more work. Mostly because you first need to figure out how to reverse engineer it. Some labs will be able to get some of...

It's the quantity that differs. You are correct, the same ratio, but it's not a quality difference, it's a quantity difference. Therefore, it is a concentration difference. Much easier to not overdose is really what you are experiencing. Mostly because you can't concentrate most organic...

Don't know why I didn't respond to this earlier. But, yes, the 3-1-2 ratio does come straight from hydroponics. Regardless the water quality I have to deal with for commercial applications, I always try hard for a 3-0.6-2.1 ratio. This gets simplified into a 3-1-2 ratio for the general consumer...

Most of those will grow your plants. That's for sure. As with all fertilizer blends, there isn't exactly a "This one is better" answer. And the reason is because they will all grow your plants. You will also come across blends that have hormones and b-vitamins, etc. in them. Those tend be...

I've found flexpvc.com to have a great selection of parts when ever I can't find what I need at the local plumbing supply store. https://flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=Bulkhead-Fittings-Economy&p_id=9120-TT&xm=on&ppinc=detail There is a 2" bulkhead fitting, NPT both sides.

Not sure why I didn't think of it then, but Calcium Hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, hydrated lime, or caustic soda will form a very basic solution. It is not that soluble in water, but it creates a very basic solution. 0.075g/L will create a solution with a pH of 11.3 and it will be a...

If the TDS conversion from EC jumped from 1400 to 1968 when water temp changes from 5°C to what ever it rose to, then temperature correction is either not working or was never there in the first place.

So, sulfates are a secondary nutrient used by your plants. They can handle pretty high concentrations of sulfate, so it's not likely that your plants would have a sulfate toxicity problem.

To pasteurize something means to bring it above 140°F in order to kill bacteria, etc.

All CAL/MAG supplements are calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate. The conjugate acid/base pairs of Calcium hydroxide/nitric acid and Magnesium hydroxide/nitric acid both form a slightly acidic solution.

The majority of EC meters are accurate at 25°C. The thing is, EC is only an estimation of TDS. EC varies based on the ions in solution and also varies based on TDS. That is, the relationship between EC and TDS is not actually linear. On top of that, there are different conversion factors...
