Saw this fert on The Green Machine and was wondering if it was any good? It says that it contains Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium, but I was wondering if anyone ahd tried it or not?

The link to the page is here.

Thanks guys

It's ADA, it will be quality albeit expensive, mixing your own is much cheaper.

Okay thanks Jack - where abouts do you get them from?

Fluid sensor online, what size tank do you have?

 

[hensonc4098]

It's only a nano - 10G

if you were to buy 250 grams of KNo3 (potassium nitrate), 100 grams of KH2PO4 (mono potassium phosphate) and 100 grams Trace elements, you would be able to dose for years to come.

I would mix up:

20 grams of Kno3 (3.5 teaspoons)
6 grams of Kh2Po4 (1 teaspoon)
together in 300ml's of distilled water and dose 5ml's every other day, it would give you appropriate nitrate, phosphate and potassium levels.
Trace should be added separately, in it's own mixture:
1/2 a tea spoon into 60 ml's of water and dose 5ml's on the days you don't dose the other nutrients.

All in all dosing should consist off:

Monday: Macros
Tuesday: Micros
Wednesday: Macros
Thursday: Micros
Friday: Macros
Saturday: Micros
Sunday: 50% water change and no dose.

Macros are the main 3 elements (NPK) and the micros are traces.

to be honest the quality cant really be that much better. Potassium Nitrate is potassium nitrate at the end of the day,

yup agreed. plus its not worth going EI if he only has a small 10g tank.

get a 250ml bottle of TPN+. that will last you long enough, if your only dosing 2-3ml daily. no need to go overboard.
ADA products have a 'halo' around them. some people swear by them and tbh get the same results as most other people who use other supposedly 'inferior' products. its all the same stuff as aaron says.

people just simply believe they are the best just becasue takashi amano has got such great tanks. ever thought it could be down to the scaper and his own techniques. ?

Thanks everyone for the comments

I'm pretty clueless about the whole fertiliser thing so I just looked up what had all the macro elements and that came up lol

Will look at the TPN+ as I have heard quite a lot of people use that. Where abouts do you get it?

Thanks again,

Claire
