Regular Member Ranchugirl Posted July 26, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 26, 2005 Liquid fertilizer maybe? Or put the plant into a bucket with water, in which you just rinsed the filter's sponge. Now, if that isn't pure plant food, I don't know what is...

Regular Member touchofsky Posted July 26, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 26, 2005 Here is the recipe for PMDD The ingredients are available from most hydroponics stores. 1 tbsp. chelated trace element mix (I use Plant-Prod Chelated Micronutrient Mix) 2 tbsp. K2S04 (potassium sulfate) 2 tbsp. KN03 (potassium nitrate) 1 tbsp MgS04.7H20 (fully hydrated magnesium sulfate, aka epsom salts) This is optional, omit if it is in trace element mix or if your water is high in magnesium. p.s. I don't use epsom salts 300 ml distilled water Dissolve the trace element mix in 150 ml distilled water, then add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Pour in additional 150 ml water. I have experimented with the dosage, but right now I am using 1 ml per day for a 66 gallon tank of rapidly growing plants. If your tank has a high nitrate level, you can leave out the potassium nitrate. My tank never shows a nitrate level. I bought the ingredients for this mixture over two years ago, for approx. $15 Cdn. and I still have enough for a couple of more batches.
