- G'day, everyone! In today's video, I'll show you how I make my nutrient solution from scratch. The formula I use helps strengthen indoor plants against pests, kills fungus gnats, whilst also fertilising the plants for strong and healthy growth!

Ingredients:
1. Professor's Original A+B Hydroponics Solution 5L each
2. THC Total Horticultural Concentrate Silica 1L
3. CX Tanlin 20ml
4. Manutec Hydroponic pH Lower 600ml
I use this nutrient solution for all of my indoor plants whether they're in soil, passive hydro / semi-hydro, leca, pon, etc. etc. It's a useful one-size-fits-all that I use with every watering.
Hi Pete,it took me awhile to watch this I had to put down my dog he was almost 17 years and I have been in a funk.This cheered me up ,thank you.
I'm really sorry to hear that, mate. It sounds like he had a very long life, though, which I'm sure he was grateful for. ❤ Glad it cheered you up.
What was extra funny was that when you were doing the chicken dance, TH-cam decided a KFC ad would be appropriate 🐔🤣
LOL that's amazing haha
That jump at the start was adorable and earnt my subscription!
Hehe thanks mate :D
8:10 if you adjust your ph first it requires less of the ph adjuster. For example you used 5 drops but if you pre adjusted you would only need 2 or 3 drops to get the same ph.
Hey Pete, that scared me when you cut yourself! I hope you are alright! I know you are a man of science so, I would suggest using monosilicic acid instead of potassium silicate. Basically the difference is that the single molecule version is immediately available to the plant where as the salt needs to be broken down over time by bacteria because it is not able to be used in that form. If you are doing semi-hydro i wouldn't even bother with the silica product because you will change the solution before any is broken down into a form usable by the plant. You can find many online, although i wouldn't recommend using both as when the silica starts to break down it could antagonize your nutrient regime.
From what I understand monosilicic acid is the nutrient that will help your plant absorb more calcium and thus all other nutrients in the uptake chain. (if this makes no sense - look up BIOCHEMICAL SEQUENCING OF NUTRIENTS, this will tell you about the nutrient uptake sequence and antagonism)
You will add the Si first to the nutrient solution and let it bond with the water before adding anything else. Feel free to reply and i can give you some more information or the things i use, i got all my friends onto super si and great white myco and we have seen really amazing results. love the videos!
Wow, great tips. I'll look into it. Thanks Kady!
That's what what I was going to say, Pete, and was told by the hydroponics shop that you put silca 1st wait for 20mins 🤔then the A B solution, as Kady Singer explains the rest

Silica... defense against pests, and Petes. 🤭
ouch!
Lol apparently...
That chicken dance gave me life!!!!! Sorry about the finger. That’s crazy!!!! You’re awesome, Pete!!!🌱
Lol thanks mate :D You're too kind :D
Damn mate wouldn't have expected that cut from opening a jar! Thanks for sharing the process and the secret of those guns. 💪 Chicken dance + weights.
Lol that's it. I just do hours of this each night :D
Should I interpret the frequency of your videos as an indicator spring is coming to Australia? ;)
Not sure how I missed this vid, must have been on the boat!
Any feedback on silica use order? I’ve been told by the hydro folks to add your silica first and let it sit for 20-30 min before adding other nutrients. Silica can take time to mix, changes ph and can possibly bind up the nutrients. Not sure if that’s real or bro science, but I tend to add silica night before then nutrients and adjust ph before watering. I also add in Tribus once ph is adjusted. Try to help the plant fam use all those good extra nutrients. 😊
Pete vs. Silica :)
lol Silica wins. Finish him.
Love the chicken dance! Have you been using the silica & other product long enough to notice a difference in pests? I’ll be using it if it works for you. Thanks for sharing Pete!
It's hard to know as I haven't tested anything scientifically, but I think the rigour of some of my plants is definitely improved. One thing I've noticed is how healthy my M. adansonii Monkey Mask looks. It's a much deeper green colour than when I got it and almost has a velvety sheen to it.
Karma, Pete! Now you know what a fungus gnat feels ( she says whilst searching for Silica on the Internet).
Haha yeah, that's it. Evil little things are getting theirs back
:( oh Pete it’s so clean and set up your posts.I love your content and won’t stop but it’s like advertisements and … anyway
Hey Amanda, what do you mean?
Ok I thought silica always go in first and then you have to wait for 20 min. Then shake between each nutrients. At least that’s what I’ve learned.
Oh mate, thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try from now on.
Thanks for taking the mystery out of the nutrient solution process.
Is your recipe used in Pon as well?
Hey Michelle, I've used it a few times with Pon, though I usually start with just water for a while whilst the slow release fertiliser does its job. Maybe every second top up I'll use some and just watch for nute burn.
Does the Bluelab ph meter needs to be recalibrated now and then?
I'm sure it wouldn't hurt, though, it only came with enough solution to do it once at the start.
I‘m a bit confused because we have the chicken dance in Germany as well but we call it “Ententanz” which means duck dance 😂
Hehe very cool :D
🤔? how to mix 20 litres 5 Buckets of professor's nutrients

I read thc😂😂😂😂 i thought was Cbd 😂😂😂
So did I and thought WTF which direction are we going now, aroids, alocasia, anthurium, cactus and now 🤪, all I can say is two great minds think alike.😉
lol Hydroponics store brands...
@@petevsplants7516 yeah but with you Pete and your sense of humour anything is possible 😜 and at a glance - you got me. One of the reasons I follow you is to have a chuckle along with informative content. Thanks and keep em coming.
