Can you carry nutes and supps in checkin luggage on a plane?

Hey everyone, gonna make this real quick...

Is it possible to check in CAL/MAG supps and ph buffer solution onto an airline?

I live in a Pakistan where finding these two is proving to be a lump in the rump.

I have a friend flying down from England whom i plan on getting these here through.

Needless to say, I don't want it to turn into a much more literal, and painful, lump in the rump.

I've gotten a PH meter but cannot for the life of me find a 4.0 calibration solution. Most vendors here carry 7.0 and 10 for swimming pools (Hydro hasn't exactly kicked off here yet) Similar situation on the CAL/MAG for plants... nothing!

That's about it really... Yay or Nay?

Thanks!

Don't they hang you for growing there?

Seriously though if they won't let you have hairspray I doubt they will let you have plant chemicals.

Heh... nope. Things are a bit different in 3D.

I've read it's fine as long as you don't have any nitrate as an ingredient. Do cal/mag supps generally have any of that stuff?

cal/mag is generally calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate. Thats what it says on Botanicare Cal-Mag+

I would say not

Cal nitrate and Mag nitrate....... Says right there on the bottle. Not one of my finest moments clearly.


What's the verdict on lugging the PH calibration solutions though??

is he trying to bring it on his carry on? I could be wrong but I don't think it matters if its in brand new sealed bottles in a suitcase under the plane.

Won't work with carry-on due to millilitre limits, but I've done it on flights from U.S. to Canada in my checked baggage.

You're growing basil, cilantro and tomatoes for what it's worth.

If you're really that picky for a 4.0 calibration liquid and can't acquire one, do this:

- get two pH testers
- mix up a solution of plain tap water and dump a bunch of lemon juice in it until it hits 4
- test with your other pH tester

Liquid is now tested, and you can calibrate.

air mail it to wherever you're going, I do think they ask at usps if liquids are being shipped?? box it up good and ship, nute's are being shipped all the time, to wherever. just a thought.

Thats what I am saying. The op makes it sound like the guy is trying to bring the nutes to him in his carry on, which would be an issue. I am saying that I don't think the rules for liquids applies when it is in checked baggage under the plane.

That's a pretty nifty idea there Spek.. much obliged!

And yes, the kale n mint garden story has already been explained to her lol.

Right so to sum it up; i don't think i'll be asking her to risk it with the Cal/Mag but i'll take a chance with the PH calibration solutions despite the great DIY method.

Thanks a bunch for the input everyone.

Hey Rockstar!
Not carryon… checkin luggage, as it says on the title of the thread.

Put it in shampoo bottles if you must get it. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.

On my last visit to Colorado i bought some nutrients which were opened because they were liquid they had to check n make sure its nothing flammable

Hey everyone, gonna make this real quick...
