    The highest quality and cheapest fertilizer is a fertilizer obtained by mixing chemicals purchased from a wholesale supplier of chemicals. Therefore, I will hope that the author of this channel will not be like housewives who buy bags with the inscription "fertilizer A" and "fertilizer B" in a garden store and dissolve them according to the instructions on the label. I hope to see the composition in generally accepted chemical names and concentrations in grams per liter of base solution.



  2. @SnifterRoux on December 10, 2023 at 3:15 am

    Has the price gone up for those fertilisers?
    Diamond Special T for 25kg is $223
    Nitro Cal 25kg $78
    Is it cheaper elsewhere?
    Where do you get yours from?



  3. @user-oe8wb5pd9e on December 10, 2023 at 3:16 am

    Incredibly helpful, thank you. The information just doesn’t click until I see someone walk through the process.



  4. @mattm00ey on December 10, 2023 at 3:16 am

    Also…(im supposed to be on here looking right now but) need to build a smaller version of your green house. Used netting= pests :/

    Lets make nutrients from Scratch! TY in advance.



  7. @frickinmuppet6122 on December 10, 2023 at 3:20 am

    ATTENTION ATTENTION BEAWARE there are Scammers pretending to be Hoocho claming that you Won a Prize, it’s a Total SCAM SCAM SCAM



  8. @MAMatos-yj9ts on December 10, 2023 at 3:20 am

    I’m done at the part where, it was suggested to 3d print a funnel. Seriously, it’s just a funnel. Literally you can roll paper into a cone and used that at a funnel, but nope, your suggestion is to 3d print one…



  9. @aaronkirby2754 on December 10, 2023 at 3:20 am

    I have to say as an American viewer I am slightly lost when you do your measurements but honestly your channel has finally given me the inspiration and education I need to be able to start my own hydroponics systems. Thank you and keep up the good work!



  10. @geddus6182 on December 10, 2023 at 3:23 am

    Yes! nutrients from scratch video. Can’t find info on how to do it anywhere…



  11. @trevormudokwani7644 on December 10, 2023 at 3:23 am

    Has there been a video about the creation from scratch? looked through all the content. 🙂



  12. @SoloRenegade on December 10, 2023 at 3:25 am

    why would you think people aren’t interested in knowing how to make the stuff from scratch? You do realize this is YouTube, right?



  13. @loganladue2 on December 10, 2023 at 3:25 am

    Would love to know more about making my own npk and part b. I’ve seen different videos about how but not super clear

    Thanks!!



  16. @Philmoon69 on December 10, 2023 at 3:29 am

    A oil filler funnel from a car would also work to pour the neutriant powder into barrel as they are quite large on the nozzle ( a new unused one obviously 🙄)



  17. @claudioscilipoti7475 on December 10, 2023 at 3:30 am

    Hey mate could you tell me if the Campbell’s nursery grade is suitable for in the paddock



  18. @leot5554 on December 10, 2023 at 3:31 am

    This video is a god sent. Thank you



  19. @jessicawilson642 on December 10, 2023 at 3:35 am

    Another great video. I am all new to this and todays project is to make the propagator & pucks! My local nutrient distributor does not stock the Special T and recommended the Dimond White as a alternative. The Dimond White has proportionally higher nitrogen. Do you think this would this be suitable? Any help appreciated.

    Dimond Special T – 8.2% Nitrogen, 3.9% Phosphorus, 32.2% Potassium, 4.2% Sulphur, 1.7% Magnesium, 0.15% Iron, 0.075% Manganese, 0.028% Boron, 0.023% Zinc, 0.017% Copper, 0.011% Molybdenum
    Dimond White – 15.2% Nitrogen, 2.5% Phosphorus, 25% Potassium, 1.9% Sulphur, 1.5% Magnesium, 0.04% Iron, 0.02% Manganese, 0.01% Boron, 0.020% Zinc, 0.011% Copper, 0.001% Molybdenum

    Thanks go on



  21. @franknunally8098 on December 10, 2023 at 3:36 am

    I just found this video. I am also VERY INTERESTED in how to make nutrients from scratch.



  22. @MrTowner on December 10, 2023 at 3:36 am

    Expressing interest in making nutrients



  23. @JoeParkerAndThePower on December 10, 2023 at 3:38 am

    Maaate don’t apologise for using the same units the rest of the world apart from the Yanks use – there’s not even half a billion of them, 7 billion of the rest of us (including anyone under 50 in the UK 😉) great vid, and you managed to do all of it without mols, proving my chemistry A-level was a waste of time (like I always suspected)



  24. @mr.chisels729 on December 10, 2023 at 3:40 am

    Hey Hooch, You’ve been a true saviour mate!!

    I’ve had a large urban garden for a few years and now I’ve been wanting to get into hydroponics.
    Your video’s have been a true miracle.
    Your extensive knowledge is impressive to say the least.

    Enough with the gushing, on with the question!!..lol

    My plan is to start a quad tube grow tower, an NFT and Dutch Buckets.
    I will be picking up a large 1000L reservoir that I plan to use to feed nutrient to all systems through a feed reservoirs with float valves.
    I’ll be growing a large variety of Veggies in all the systems.

    Is there one general nutrient mix for all feedings (leafy greens and fruiting) or should I be mixing for specific plant types (requiring me to change the setup slightly) and use smaller fee reservoirs with different nutrient mixes more tailored to greens and fruiting types???

    Don’t know if that makes sense or not…

    Cheers from Montreal!
    Mario



  25. @mattm00ey on December 10, 2023 at 3:43 am

    Yrs please. From scratch



  26. @elmonte5lim on December 10, 2023 at 3:43 am

    Coming up with my own nutrient solutions?

    Yeah, man. I’m interested.



  27. @gregbowles8988 on December 10, 2023 at 3:43 am

    would love to see a video on how to make hydroponic solution from scratch



  28. @Fishhands on December 10, 2023 at 3:44 am

    Is there a difference between hydroponic fertilizer and normal dirt fertilizer?… or do your do jus call normal fertilizer hydroponic fertilizer?



  29. @mutefeed on December 10, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Use a 20L bucket and a mixer drill attachment for stirring/dissolving and then pour into a wide mouth container or any container with a funnel 🙂



  30. @jongrubaugh160 on December 10, 2023 at 3:47 am

    Glad to see you’re still here. Bless you!!!!!!



  31. @x7SiNz-- on December 10, 2023 at 3:48 am

    I just realised that the A/B solution I have used is thr "Grow" version from the brand Shogun. I don’t understand why there are so many brands supplying "Grow" & "Bloom". Is there a problem just using the Grow solution, or do I need to empty all my buckets to then top up and recalibrate with a Bloom solution? Please help.



  32. @afshirinzadeh5682 on December 10, 2023 at 3:48 am

    yes. nutrients from scratch. Please let me know. Thanks.



  33. @Battlem0nk on December 10, 2023 at 3:49 am

    how do you store your part-A concentrates?

    I use masterblend 4-18-38, stuff would start growing, mold or bacteria, when left in the dark at room temp. Think some people recommend putting Sodium Benzoate to prevent growth, but now I put mine in the fridge. The part-B concentrate can be left at room temp nothing grows in it.



  34. @-Rickster- on December 10, 2023 at 3:49 am

    So master blend and Epsom salts is part A and calcium nitrate is part B



  35. @kevinmiller5467 on December 10, 2023 at 3:50 am

    For us Americans users remember 1 gram is 15.43 grains and that 1 liter is 4.226 cups. Also 1 hogshead is about 238.48 liters.



  36. @OussamOssTv505 on December 10, 2023 at 3:51 am

    Hey man, thanks a lot for your vdeos, it has been so hellpfull to watch them, i need to ask, how much water solution can i put to a 1000 lettuce plant??



  37. @flopilop4596 on December 10, 2023 at 3:52 am

    That was actualy 1300 ml and not 1500ml you can see it on the scale, your kettle has wrong measurements 😀



  38. @steve-adams on December 10, 2023 at 3:53 am

    I’m 100% here for from-scratch chemistry!



  39. @ianryan9513 on December 10, 2023 at 3:54 am

    Wouldn’t the mixed solution have a different specific gravity than fresh water? That would then throw out the concentration if you’re basing it of mL instead of calculating by weight would it not? Or am I simply overthinking it?



  40. @TNBNaturals on December 10, 2023 at 3:56 am

    Great job! This video is fantastic! Content like this makes us want to sub!!



  41. @attilavicen1579 on December 10, 2023 at 4:01 am

    Hello! Good videos! I have a question. Why my calcium participate when im mixing the reservoir? I know when air bubbleing takes out co2 from water so it raise ph, but every hydroponics need some kind of airstone in the reservoir, doesnt matter its a dwc or nft system. So my question is what the best practice when mixing nutrients? I wait 1 day with tap water to get stagnated, and i air bubbled it too. Than ph go up 8.0 . Than i add a bit of nitric acid 60%, to get ph down to 6.5. Than i add a solution A (npk 6,14,30+epsom salt) stock solution, than waiting for another day and bubbleing it. Than next day i add the calcium nitrate stock solution B, than add more nitric acid to make ph 6.0. Than suddenly ph starts to rise again and calcium participate, and make cloudy water. The water was on room temperature all the time, ec went up after mixing all nutes to 900ppm (what is good), so dont know what im doing wrong pls help. How to avoid this participated clody water. Thanks.



  42. @Dlec1993 on December 10, 2023 at 4:01 am

    Thank you for the fantastic information! What is your opinion on adding magnesium Sulphate to the nutrient solution? I ordered some powdered hydroponics nutrients and it came with Magnesium Suplhate, and instructed to add it to the solution at a ratio 50% of the fertilizer and calcium nitrate. Apparently Magnesium Suplhate is an additional nutrient but i didn’t hear you mention it in this video – is it necessary?



  43. @Philmoon69 on December 10, 2023 at 4:03 am

    This is a very helpful video . Thanks dude



  44. @corwinwhitehorn7759 on December 10, 2023 at 4:05 am

    9:36 some Jam funnels would probably work too



  45. @pierrex3226 on December 10, 2023 at 4:05 am

    Doing a bit of excel, in order to make 1 Liter of "watering water" at a time of half strength solution (I want to grow coriander in pretty small containers, I mixed 12.5g of A and B into 500mL bottles. It means I need 20mL of these base solutions to make 1L of half strength watering water. I’ll get 25L of watering water for leafy greens from these 12.5g of inputs in these 500mL bottles. For A, i used Kristalon from Yara. For B, I used Calcinit from Yara. I’m in Bucharest. I figured that it would be a pain to measure less than 20mL at a time from these base solutions. I ended up with an EC of c.1.5



  46. @lukeinkson on December 10, 2023 at 4:07 am

    Freedom units 😂



  47. @meltonplumbing9636 on December 10, 2023 at 4:09 am

    I really want to see the nutrients from scratch video .

    Subscribing now !



  48. @dinobwelding2702 on December 10, 2023 at 4:12 am

    Was curious on why masterblend tells us to put calcium nitrate always last? Is it because of adding magnesium sulfite to the blend? Thank you again for sharing your labor of love with all of us!!



  49. @megaflux7144 on December 10, 2023 at 4:13 am

    fuck yea we want to know how to make it from scratch!



  50. @sheep.herder on December 10, 2023 at 4:14 am

    ive been using Campbells diamond range commercially in my greenhouses since they released the range. would be nice if you could do a segment or segments on making fert from scratch. thanks bro
