Mixing Your own Nutrients

Hello,

Im looking to get the powders and stuff. I cant find much constant information online. But what i do find is everyone says mix your nutes. Yet advanced nutes offers all these different things I count 13?

So how do you replicate the AN exactly with the base nutes? I cant find much of anything online. What I can find is confusing as hell. Furthermore I cant find sources for a lot of the stuff as I am throughly confused and have read a few times.

I do understand that the ppm to mg conversion with the scale. I also understand I am making 3 part solution just like AN. but what about all the other products they offer to boost the plant at the perfect times?

Thanks for any help. promise i wouldnt have posted if i coldnt have found a real answer.

hmm no bump. See this information is very hard to obtain. Anyone know the compounds? Where to buy? How to replicate AN regimen? Thanks.

Also a good recap on making 3 part nutes would be super :) :)

well i happen to be one of those who mix their own nutes, and it is indeed quite complicated, and i cannot sum it up in a post or 2. However what i can see from your attitude is that you have what it takes to do it. I will tell you the list of chemicals that i use for mj : calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, phosphoric acid, trace elements mix and chelated Fe EDDHSA. I buy them locally, i still want to get nitric acid and potassium silicate. Iron EDDHA and EDDHSA are better for hydro, however, some EDTA can be added too. Getting all those chemicals alone will not allow you to make anything near the performance of ready made ferts. the knowledge of mixing and applying them correctly is quite extensive, and it is very easy to mess up. a side by side with fert brands helps a lot in pushing you in the right direction. but you need to read a lot, about each and every chemical, its solubitity, ppm contribution, npk mg, ca S or other elements percentage, and the potential impurities in each, ionic exchange and interactions and what else... if you think that you are up to that, then go on. If you think that you can go about it lightly and just hit and miss, then the lottery will be an easier hit.
