It's just a PK booster. Make your own

Monopotassium Phosphate 78.2g
Potassium Sulfate 91.8g
top up with distilled or RO water to 1L

Now you have made a liter of Hammerhead on the cheap.

Just a tip, a stirring plate is super handy when dissolving dry salts in order to make a concentrate. Saves a LOT of stirring / shaking. You don't need the hot one.

I use 2 liter mason jars. Put one on the plate, add your ingredients and the stirring pill. Set it to running. Do other things, come back later and if everything is dissolved turn it off, flip the mason jar and the magnetic stir pill will stick to the lid.

You can make most anything thats out there as a bottled nutrient using dry salts and water, but PK boosters are simpler due to the limited number of ingredients. The enzyme and beneficial bacteria are a couple different products however you can multiply the beneficial bacteria.

Well throw that recipe I found in the trash lol

They say derived from but it appears that they are doing a chemical reaction to get the P2O5 and K2O from the KH2PO4 (thats the mono potassium phosphate) and actually most MKP is really a mix of mono and dipotassium phosphate lol.

We are gonna need someone with more chemistry background than I to see what they are doing.

Sorry to disappoint.
