DIY Nutrients for Hydroponics

[ganjaballz]

I plan to mix my own nutrient solution and try it on one of my plants while using a commercial solution on the others. I found several hydroponic nute recipes based on the original developer of hydro gardening and even managed to find sources for the raw materials. (The cost savings is extreme - I can buy enough material to mix my own nutrients for the next 5 years for less than one quart of the commercial solutions).

I was wondering if anyone had info or resources for the correct nutrient ratios for MJ, grow and bloom cycles? The initial research I've performed indicates there is a difference between nutrient ratios for MJ and ratios for food crops. (One of the oldest and most popular resources lists a 5-10-5 ratio for MJ while most food hydro is 5-5-5 or 10-5-10 or 10-5-5 depending on the crop).

I'll definitely post the results and recipes w/ material sources if I can get this thing going. I'm waiting on my last two shipments of gear to arrive so I can start my first indoor, Deep Water Culture grow.

hi ganjaballz,
I'am of the same opinion, make it yourself. if you are looking for something better for our ladies then do something. so i made in 2011 my first attempts to make something. the first fruits for me was a 150 gr. but this year no more eb and flow, but DWC !!
what is your progress?
