Happy Hydroponicing!
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.
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?
Incredibly helpful, thank you. The information just doesn’t click until I see someone walk through the process.
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.
ATTENTION ATTENTION BEAWARE there are Scammers pretending to be Hoocho claming that you Won a Prize, it’s a Total SCAM SCAM SCAM
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…
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!
Yes! nutrients from scratch video. Can’t find info on how to do it anywhere…
Has there been a video about the creation from scratch? looked through all the content. 🙂
why would you think people aren’t interested in knowing how to make the stuff from scratch? You do realize this is YouTube, right?
Would love to know more about making my own npk and part b. I’ve seen different videos about how but not super clear
https://youtu.be/LjDl6skQB18
Thanks!!
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 🙄)
Hey mate could you tell me if the Campbell’s nursery grade is suitable for in the paddock
This video is a god sent. Thank you
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
I just found this video. I am also VERY INTERESTED in how to make nutrients from scratch.
Expressing interest in making nutrients
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)
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
Yrs please. From scratch
Coming up with my own nutrient solutions?
Yeah, man. I’m interested.
would love to see a video on how to make hydroponic solution from scratch
Is there a difference between hydroponic fertilizer and normal dirt fertilizer?… or do your do jus call normal fertilizer hydroponic fertilizer?
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 🙂
Glad to see you’re still here. Bless you!!!!!!
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.
yes. nutrients from scratch. Please let me know. Thanks.
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.
So master blend and Epsom salts is part A and calcium nitrate is part B
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.
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??
That was actualy 1300 ml and not 1500ml you can see it on the scale, your kettle has wrong measurements 😀
I’m 100% here for from-scratch chemistry!
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?
Great job! This video is fantastic! Content like this makes us want to sub!!
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.
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?
This is a very helpful video . Thanks dude
9:36 some Jam funnels would probably work too
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
Freedom units 😂
I really want to see the nutrients from scratch video .
Subscribing now !
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!!
fuck yea we want to know how to make it from scratch!
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
