Thanks. Yea, I just double checked; shipping insane at CHN.
No, never heard of Polyphos....
In my 420 tutorial, on the top of page 3 is a Bil Of Materials with links to everything, but generally it's
Interesting, I've never heard it called that (megacrop "vegan"). 9-6-17 is not what they say their *current* formulation is though. I checked and they have a thread on og forums as well. That's the npk from one of the oldest packaging though. I don't even want to get into their labeling and nonsense though. It's a bit of a farce. Haha.
They have some MAC notes on this page... Hope it helps.
Grab a cheap used PC off craigslist.
It's kinda hard for me to ignore the word right there, but if it's helpful, we can just call it their 3rd formulation.
As far as I know, Hydro Buddy only runs on Windows or Linux, so if the Mac is all you have, you'll either need to install a "virtual machine" app on Mac and then run Windows on the VM, then you could use Hydro Buddy. Otherwise you could use the Excel Spreadsheets, but those, you'll have to individually validate the values of everything, as well as all related math associated with counting up elemental ppm which itself is not all that difficult. It's just tedious as the math does a lot of decimal calcs, but you you'll run into a lot of situations where you need to track down the density of liquid nutes or purity of solid nutes.
That's a good start, though their products are extremely limited, so the potential is equally as limited. If you live in the lower 48, I'm hard pressed to find another distributor other than CustomHydroNutrients.com that has as extensive of a selection of plant food at such a cheap price per weight. Where CHN really hurts is their shipping charges. They are more than the materials being bought. Shipping fees aside, CHN has not only all of my hydro salts, but a shit ton of natural amendments for soil such as Planters II and Soil Menders Minerals Plus. Aside from peat moss, perlite and worm castings, I can get everything else needed to make high brix soil from CHN.I've been using this guy for individual products on a smaller scale (like 1lb bags) purchases.
I started with planted tanks but its all the same stuff.
I hear ya. Ordered some magphos and haifa cal-nit for my xmas stocking. Lucky me, the shipping was only half the cost of the salts I ordered.
well found a funny workaround, asked work for a PC for a home machine...
