I'm thinking I could use dry Koolbloom or monopotassium phosphate as a PK booster and get the NPK ppm ratio very close to 1:1:2
agreed.
I agree because I've used lots of GH products and they all grow cannabis well.Why do you agree?
what grams per gallon are you using for your analysis?What do you think of my Maxibloom analysis?

I'll try and work out grams per gallon necessary to get exactly 100 ppm N this evening.
no offense... @Jennygrows2 but, she doesn't understand what shes sayingread this site. it gives the background of Lucas, some other nute recipes from other famous growers, and a nute calc at the bottom

in short
you wouldn't need to add mkp or any bloom booster to maxibloom.. its already formulated as a bloom enhancer and already has oodles of P and plenty of K
Maxibloom is listed as 5-15-14. For practical purposes I assume 5% nitrate. P2O5 is 44% P so 15 * .44 = 6.6%P. K2O is 83% K so 14 * .83 = 11.62%K
This gives us an elemental weight ratio of 5 - 6.6 - 11.62 (same as 99-130-230)
you can't assume it's 5% nitrate, you need to know what %ammoniacal, %nitrate.
and put 7.5 grams into the calc = 99ppmN, 130ppmP, 230ppmK. so the actual ratio is 1:1.3:2.3
contact customhydronutrients.com and they will hook you up.To achieve a 100/50/150 ratio
It's as simple as that. I can use that information to determine that it takes 7.5g of 5% N to equal 100 ppm N in a gallon and that if P = 15% and K = 14% then the NPK ppm will be 100, 130, 230.
SO, now that's out of the way, how come there's so much P and K in Maxibloom?As I mentioned earlier, if NPK ppm ratio is ideal at 100:50:150 then the correct "bottle ratio" is 5-6-9. The only pre-mixed fert I could find with that ratio is granular. Jack's Tomato FeED at 12-15-13 can produce a NPK ppm of 100:50:200 using 3.125g/gallon. I will look into mixing my own, but I'm sure you can understand my being suspicious of 100:50:150 when there's not a single product on the market that achieves it except a granular tomato feed. If it's so great, how come you have to mix it yourself?
Now that my math is worked out I'm going to go back and analyse feed charts to see what the canna specific companies are wanting us to put in the water.
