Can i take any npk or do i have pick one with equal ratio like npk 19 19?

[@RohitSingh-sc4zo]

Beautifully explained and good presentation. I'll be trying it next weekend. Please tell me what will happen if I don't use any additional micronutrients? Can I skip them or not?

[@elenazaaba7522]

Plants usually get calcium from the soil, therefore in order replicate soil planting, you have to add calcium nitrate in the hydroponic solution. I’m addition to that, magnesium and sulfur are important for plant growth too.

[@tahirjan107]

That was indeed a very good one. The question is how long does it work i.e for how long will it provide nutrition and the number of plants will get nutrition from this gallon???

[@thegreenearth]

Thanks. There is no certain number of plants and exact time that plants can feed with 1 gallon of this nutrients it all depends on the container size and plants.

Very nicely explained! Thank you. Can you inform how much TDS will be in 1 gallon after adding the nutrients?

[@thegreenearth]

Hi, I don’t check the TDS of my solution even the ph level of it. But I’m still growing all my plants well.

I know this video is from awhile ago, i hope you can see this comment. When feeding plants in leca with this nutrient solution do we need to top up more water or can it be used as is? Also how often to feed leca plants with this?

[@thegreenearth]

Hi, I am using the nutrients all the time whenever I am watering them. Then 2x a month flushing of running water.

[@jensclemmensen8966]

What is the reason, that you mix the differentieret salts in to jars instead of putting it all in one jar? Thanks

[@ike6795]

Is to avoid precipitation which can occur at higher concentration.

i made the mixture (i used NPK 20-20-20) but the top leaves of the tomatoes and pepper are pale green, what should i correct

[@beheravenkatakumaraswamy1331]

thats because of plants are unable to takeup specific nutrients, just make sure there is no residue buildup on roots and the ph is good.

*Do not forget about Iron or your NEW leaves on top will allows stay yellow!!!*

Epsom salts is magnesium sulphate, which is what he added.

[@zurushi]

Are these chemicals harmful for longterm health?

[@DannyTillotson]

I'd like to know also. Did you find the answer elsewhere? Please share if you found anything.

[@brucepraska7781]

@Danny Tillotson to you an @Tzurushi no none of these are dangerous however that being said keep them away from kids just because it's likely not good for them not that it can kill them but sometimes tells me the npk stuff is just got a wicked bad taste and just friendly reminder magnesium sulfate you can use Epsom salt exact proportions don't really matter, also npk stands for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium this one I recommend the most to keep away from kids as any one of the last 2 can be quiet dangerous if ingested touch is fine taste VERY BAD and the calcium isn't exactly necessary but as far as dangerous is concerned it should be safe but I personally just don't add any since your local water supply should be more then enough just look up your districts water report

[@ah.1190]

Not a medical professional, but Magnesium Sulphate is the safest ingredient up there. It's bath salts, some people ingest as much as 30 grams per day, so I don't imagine that 2g in a gallon of water to feed your plants would be harmful to you. If you don't want to use calcium nitrate, which is an irritant, you can substitute it by mixing crushed eggshells with vinegar or lemon juice. As for the plant fertilizer, that's probably the main thing you should avoid ingesting, even then, it's dilluted enough to the point where I wouldn't worry much.
