Potassium sulfate recommendation?

Hey there, I am curious what others are doing for liquid versions of potassium sulfate (sulfate of potash).

Last 5 or 6 weeks, usually about 1-2 grams per gallon and I reduce the other base nutrient to maintain the same PPM. I start at one gram per gallon and work it up to 2 grams over about a week or 10 days.

I'd like to ask what volumes you use it at too, I've got a bag and I'm uncertain as to dilution rates
depends on how much k is already in your nute mix. playing it safe, and not knowing your nute regimen, id suggest starting at .25 g/gal and adjusting as necessary from there. i dont use stock solutions, so i cant be of much help there. plenty of threads/posts to be found on that subject though
i have only been using k2so4 in the last 2-3 weeks of flower, and in small quantities. im getting most of my k from mkp

Thanks for the responses. I ordered some dry powder to mix into my solution. I wanted something for the last third of the bloom phase.

I buy potassium sulfate and mix it one gram to 10mL of RO or distilled water.
You should add the salt and fill the rest of the way with water.

This will give you a concentration of 1000mg/0.01L = 100000mg/L = 100000ppm K2SO4.

Adding 1g to 10mL of water won't give you 10mL of total solution. Sorry to nitpick. Realistically this doesn't matter much. You just won't get a nice arbitrary multiple of 10.

Alpha Chemicals, it is sold on amazon. works great for certain strains and on others it is not so good. It alters the flavor and terp profiles to a more citrus/fruity/fake candy flavor effect. I found it does not mate well with earthy/rotting strains. But of course that is only my opinion, you may love it, which is the great thing with this these types of experiments. I use it 20g/250L@week 6 then 40g/250L@week7 and 8 on a 60-70ish day strain. Good luck.
