I'm Looking to make my own nutrient solution for hydro setup but don't really know how to go about it. Figure the money spent on pre packaged Nutes can be better spent on other things and you don't really know if what that's companies put out is really the best thing you can feed your girls. I grow using DWC incase that makes a difference.
So if you make your own and would be willing to share the recipe or any tips and tricks you've picked up along the way I'm all ears and also very appreciative. If your a little hesitant and feel like your nutrient solution is basically a secret family recipe don't worry it will stay between you, me,and the Internet and we can keep a secret.

i know you want to make your own but try dry nutes first. GH maxibloom. use at 7 grams/gallon. simple, cheap and the NPK is great for cannabis

I use some dry Nutes from jacks but I'm interested in trying my hand at making my own I figure it should save me some money as I'll know exactly what my plants are getting cuz rt now I just follow what the bottle says but I don't know exactly what's in it. So I wonder if there are somethings not in the Nutes that would be beneficial to my plants

I'd imagine if you had the predisposition to make your own nutes, you'd have just done it or researched how to do it.

Well I did try researching it but didn't find what I was looking for by googling the subject. Found Mostly people talking about what Nutes they used or how to mix specific Nutes. Is like to find like a general list of what and how much for veg and bloom and why. by creating this post Im hoping to research it by talking to people who make their own and know a lot more than I do about the subject. And since I don't know exactly what to use and how much I can't follow your suggestion and just do it. So do you have anything to share or was the previous message your contribution?

But not just like a list of what to use for veg and flower. An because I don't know exactly what to use and how much I can't just do it like you mentioned. And by creating this post I basically am researching it by talking to people who know what it is I wanna know.
No, creating this post is not research. You sir are asking for answers. Try looking at plant biology and what plants use. Reference books. Your plants need potassium,phosphorous,nitrogen...etc. that information isn't hard to find. Then when you get your list of desired nutes, research how to make them. In doing this, you will learn a lot. In learning that, you won't simply be memorizing a bunch of crap someone just told you, because you are going to need to know how to use the nutes.

Your right I could learn a lot from books but personally I learn better by talking to people so that's what I'm gonna do. There are plenty of other threads on here so if you don't like mine you can move on to a different one.

I don't have a problem with your thread pal. I'm trying to help, and you are too thin-skinned to see that. And since there are so many threads about what you made a thread about, why make the thread? You just come off as incredibly lazy. Too hard to google. Wants someone to do all the leg work for you. Yeah, lazy.

I looked up how to make my own hydroponic nutrients. My apologies. Can't you find something productive to do instead of bothering me
It's a public forum, and you don't have to respond. If it bothers you, don't reply. That should be easy as you are lazy.

I'm not saying you can't post here. just saying why not find a thread where you can help someone out with their current dilema or learn something? Instead or calling me lazy because I'm not researching something the way you think I should be. Since it's a public forum as you point out I should be able to post what I want without you giving me shit about it. And if there are duplicate threads so what? Im not the first to post a duplicate and won't be the last. So your actions aren't really accomplishing much.

I can't really help as I have never done that or wanted to do that. However, I would think that buying the individual components would only have a cost benefit on a large scale.

I never said you couldn't post or suggested anything of the like. Merely giving you my opinion. It was you who said that.

read my posts. I never told you that you couldn't post on this thread. I've had enough of this discussion so have a good nit man.

Maybe. A few people I've spoken to find it cheaper. When buying Nutes I lik for deals best I can bought there are products out there that cost $30-50 or more for a liter. I figure it's gotta cost less than that to make it even in smaller scale. And I don't mind buying in bulk especially if the chemicals can be stored for a while. But time will tell I guess
