If you plan on doing business with the govt (feds, or provincial), I'm pretty sure you will need some form of permit. You will pay a fee to become licensed, pay taxes, and, in essence, become one of those that you so openly have a sour taste for. BTW, I feed my girls "nutes".
I'm new here. Please don't consider me as a grouch, or nit picker. I know DIY personally, and have, on occasion, been accused of standing in for his conscience

Nutes and a Business Idea Give Away (Ok I'll change it)
Lots of folks in this game have been mak'in a few bucks on the side running, shall we say a small enterprise, and been syphoning off the 1% and the government for a bit. It's a nice little sideline doing something you don't have any moral or ethical issues over and nether do I. But you folks are just like the many nubes and many others who have to buy nutes. The key difference, between you and the nubes, is that you might have a bit of capital around and a lot of experience and those are the key ingredients to this idea. Things are constantly changing and if the government don't put ya outta business, I or others like me will, only my motives and methods are a bit different than theirs, they wanna fuck ya and I wanna help!

If ya been following along, you'll see that my real purpose is to drive down the retail cost of pot and growing in the country. Even if we get the 4 plant limit the government is floating (I would perfer 12/ per household/ adult) I want to teach folks how to max out on that and I figure a few around here will help or start their own threads with Canadian in the name and go to work. Don't get me wrong, if anybody is gonna make money outta this, I figure it should be those who lead the way and real small business people, who love what they do. I'd like folks to sell a 1 KG min to the liquor commission and they test it and put a label on it, if there's pesticide, or bud rot ya lose yer dope, though shit, that'll learn ya. The Commission then sells it to the dispensaries and everybody is happy, except the greedy bastards and I honestly don't give a shit about them, works both ways. Jus so ya know where I'm coming from, and if you would like to see such a future for yer self, then fight like Hell, for a better law or change the one they try to stick ya with, cause money talks, bullshit walks, but the truth sticks around. If yer tired of being treated like an animal, then start acting like a human, speak out, band together and fight like HELL, cause that's really what being free is all about.

Enough politics, now for those of ya that would like to gain a bit of "respectability", provide a service to yer fellow Canadians and make a few bucks, listen up. If ya ever bought liquid nutes ya been butt hurt, so I don't need to dwell on the fact that a lot of this shit comes from the states, getting a clue yet. You can buy 50 pound bags of the raw ingredients, pretty cheap, a couple of scales and other such things you'll need. You can make the contents of most liquid nute concentrations for a few pennies, the 1 gallon plastic bottle and fancy label would be the most expensive part and ya can start in yer garage or basement. Buy an old van, go around to the grow stores and offer it up on consignment, travel around yer region every month and give'm the "hard" sell, etc.

Just go online and have a look, there are sites, calculators and youtube videos on the subject, bone up and put yer link here or some place like it and offer some folks a deal in exchange for the testing. Know yer business and if ya gotta a chemistry background the technical part will be easy as pie. But the main thing is you've already got a lot of experience and gotta brain or ya wouldn't be an entrepreneur already. Lot's of others have taken this road and they're liv'n high off the hog now. If yer past yer best before date like me and got some kids ya might wanna help em out on this kinda thing. Maybe some day some greedy corperation will come along and sweep ya off yer feet, with an offer ya can't refuse. The profit margin is much higher than pot and the prospects is bigger.

Things are constantly changing, it is the nature of our existance, get on board or get run over, it ain't my fault, I'm jus tell'n ya what the future might look like, the rest is up to you...

You don't have to get nearly this involved, as there are plenty of dry nutrient manufacturers out there who have been supplying commercial flower and vegetable growers for many years. These nutes are also extremely affordable and they've done a lot of work to make them easy to use and even tweak for different needs.

For instance, here's my supplier in Colorado;

https://hydro-gardens.com/product/hydroponic-special-formula-25lbs-bag-5-11-26/

Surely there's someone just like them not far from you.

To the above mix, add calcium nitrate in the concentration needed, some epsom salt and perhaps some MKP and you're set for nutes.

This may not be viable for the very small grower, but they do sell their nutes in smaller quantities. It's ALWAYS cheaper than the hydro store water bottles, by a lot!

These guys are Canadian and have distributors/retailers so should be readily available. Haven't tried them yet but look legit and Canadian availability if someone's looking for dry nutes.

I recently did an order with growlights.ca, I wouldn't use their lights personally. Nothing that is that good a deal. HOWEVER Their tents and fan and filter kits are cheap as f*@&. Best prices I found online for canadian sources for tents and fans and filters. Free shipping on 100-150$ bucks and came within a few days in discreet boxes.

By the time you've bought all the micro and macro nutrients to replicate this yourself, you will have spent a lot more money.
$51US per 25lb bag of ready to use hydroponic mix is extremely affordable considering you only need 3 grams per gallon of nutrient solution.

With all the ferts listed above added up, total cost is still well under two cents per gallon of plant ready nutrient solution.

Let's see you beat that before you dismiss it so quickly.

You're far from the only cheapskate around these parts...

I'm posting in the spirit of finding the best solution for the least money. This was the best I've found so far, at least for hydroponic nutrients.

It's not about calling you or anyone else out, it's about finding better ways to do things.

I had my water cooled COB LED modules built years ago. They're very robust and overbuilt to the point where they'll continue working even with no water flowing thru them, as long as they're full.

They're also MUCH more expensive than the designs you've been showing here lately, so I'm more than willing to say your design is the better one.

I need to get 55 of those thermal cutoff switches, lol

It's a good thing fur ya that them thar thermal switches are only pennies apiece and ya can run em in series, fur yer application or if yer paranoid. Or jus stick it in the coolant or a digital thermostat, cheap on ebay and programmable too. Thermal fuses are dirt cheap as a last line of defense. And Yoda, I'm no snowflake, only the mentally unstable are like that.
