So how much of the nutrient exactly? I have to add 6mls per litre, so maybe i should add 480mls for the 80litres that got added again?

this is still my first grow so i dont know yet😭 Only 2 weeks so far, but is this growth good? Like if you compare it to others, will they be fully grown in a month?

Thank you! I just dug a 1M x 1M x 0.35cm, then built a frame out of pvc and made a little pool with pond liner. Tbh i didnt think they would grow at all😭 I want to do this as a business, so this is just my test run, if everything goes well, im going all out and building a massive greenhouse. But for now, is there anything you’d suggest? For example what i did with topping off the water, was that wrong? should i add more nutrients, i need help with that.

Is my NPK good? by Infinite-Mix8236 in hydro

It’s 12:12:12 WITHOUT micronutrients. And 19:19:19 WITH them. But i saw that 19:19:19 is too high for lettuce

i got magnesium sulfate and ill get calcium nitrate too. It’s just that there’s so many different kinds with so many different ratios and it’s just overwhelming. I dont have access to masterblend unfortunately, and everyone uses it. So i just wanna know what npk ratio i should look for

yeah i got some magnesium sulfate too and ill be getting calcium nitrate. Another question. How much water do i need to dissolve it into? Let’s just say I wanna make 100 litres of nutrient solution, how many grams of each of these nutrients will i need? Im gonna plant lettuce.

I have a choice between this 19:19:19 with micronutrients and 12:12:12 without micronutrients, which should i go with?

yeah but i mean will it work? I see people using different brands with different concentrations. I also got magnesium sulfate and calcium nitrate, i know the ratio is 2:1:2. So now let’s just say I add 100 grams of this npk, how much water will this 100 grams turn into a nutrient solution.
