Dry fertilizer to copy bottled nutrients

Hey guys I remember there was a thread I'm not sure if it was on this forum or another one but there was a list that showed you how to replicate a lot of the common bottled nutrients on the market using dry fertilizer. I can't find that thread so if anybody knows what I'm talking about if you could please share the link.

The bottle I'm trying to copy is mother plant nutrient part a. It says the ingredients are calcium nitrate and iron dpta. Its 2% total nitrogen with 1.8% nitrate nitrogen and 0.2 ammoniacal nitrogen. 3.2% calcium and 0.066 % iron dpta.

My first question is are there any other types of iron that would be better than that? And if not then how many grams of calcium nitrate and iron dpta would I use per gallon of water?

Also if you recommend making it stronger let's say twice as strong so that I can use half the dosage I'm okay with that just keep in mind that I will be mixing it myself so I don't want to have any issues with pushing it to the brink of solubility

Thanks a lot

Fe DTPA is best for hydro because of the availability within the 5.5-6.5 pH range. Another reason I like it is the flexibility. 1 ppm final Fe strength in the reservoir is ok (so I’ve read but I am yet to test going that low , and I am testing very soon) so if you were to add 4 times less from a CaNO3 stock tank that is charged with as much CaNO3 and Fe DTPA for veg strength but want to reduce nitrate in flower , you would use 4 times less in flower and still have 1 ppm Iron as opposed to around 4 ppm iron in Veg , with no need to make a different CaNO3 stock tank. That is unless you are using a separate KNO3/CaNO3/Fe DTPA stock tank for flower and a CaNO3/Fe DTPA stock tank for veg.

If you’re feeling lucky and you want to try a DIY version of a “something similar to floraduo a+b in veg and only floraduo b from the 6th week of flower and beyond” than make 3 stock solutions like this:

Part A
973 g CaNO3
30.86 g Fe DTPA
Top up to 1 gal with warm RO water

Part B
243.25 g CaNO3
7.75 g Fe DTPA
430 g KNO3
Top up to 1 gal with warm RO water

Part C
445 g MKP (Not to be confused with Chinese MDMA precursor)
510 g MgSO47H2O
14.54 g EDTA Mn 13%
3.78 g EDTA Zn 15%
2.52 g EDTA Cu 15%
1.79 g Solubor
.06 g Ammonium Molybdate
Top up to 1 gal with warm RO water

In Veg and up to the first 5 weeks in flower
800 ml Part A + 800 ml part C in 54 gallons of RO water

Week 6 flower and beyond
800 ml Part B + 800 ml Part C in 54 gallons
of water

Haven’t tried it yet. If you see Mg deficiency, bump the Epsom Salt to 667 g per gallon stock solution.

Use 10% potassium hydroxide for pH up.
Reagent grade sulfuric acid for pH down...maybe.

I don’t know what I’m talking about

Where am I?
Que?
