Thanks for sharing.
Best video on TH-cam for mixing gallon masterblend! Thank you!
Glad you found my video help. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for giving the amounts in teaspoons - not a 'gram' person :)
@@jessstone7486 you’re welcome! Just trying to make it easy.
Just what I wanted to see..... I've seen enough with the grams; I wanted to see teaspoons, tablespoons and cup type measurements!
Great Job, Tim! Keep it up!
Thanks! Felt it was necessary because I didn’t have a fancy scale!
@@timjoyner174 yeah, this dang scale i have here wont do partial grams so it's either two or three but not the 2.4 the recipe calls for. im just going to use the teaspoons in the measurements you've shown. thanks.
its half Tspn per GAL of MB and CalNit and Quarter Tspoon EpSalt.
@@afterburner3999 thank you
Fill 3 separate bowls with warm water about 1-2cups
1) Bowl 1 (1/2 tsp master blend mix)
2) Bowl 2 (1/4 tsp Epson salt)
3) Bowl 3 (1/2 tsp Calcium Nitrate)
Mix all well until dissolved then INTRODUCE 1 BY ONE IN ORDER back into specified water Gallon Jug. Being sure to shake after adding each dissolved mix
Thank you! Warm water helps!
Awesome ... straight to the point making it easy to understand and mix with measuring spoons.🙂👍
Thanks! I try to keep it simple and not over complicate.
Thank you for these directions! Sista was lost lol 😂
You’re welcome! Glad I could help!
Thank you for such clear instructions. I appreciate it.
You are so welcome!
At last. I was so confused before I found your video that is so clear and easy to understand. Thanks, Tim!
Glad you found my video help! You’re welcome!
Talk about demonstration !! Now my 5 year old can do it lol. I usually weight it out, Thumbs up
Awesome! Thanks for watching my video.
Great video. Easy to understand. Thanks.
Thank you!
Hello sir. , I find your videos very useful and practical. I'm in Ghana in West Africa. I really want to try to try a few jars hydroponics out here. Can you please if feasible send me a few grams of masterblend, calcium nitrate and Epsom salt. It would go along way. Thanks. Mahama Abdul -Basit
Good job Tim! Master Blend has T-spoon equivilents on their packaging instructions. Gram scales are way overkill to then blend the mixture in a 5 gal pail with no 5 gal. markings. Simple is better... Thanks.
Thanks for watching. That’s good to know because my packaging did not have any.
Nice.
Thank you. 🙏🏿
thank you for these video now i know how yo make nutrient sol for my hydroponics lettuce
You're welcome! Glad my video help. Please share and subscribe as well if you want to see more content of my mine.
Hey there, I got 1 question how many times you have to feed your plants with this solution?
Warm Regards
I would add more if my nutrients solution was getting low and my plant was still growing. That’s what I did personally. I hope that helps.
Thank you, you went straight to the point without wasting time.
💯😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Hi. I don’t live in US. anyway I could make my own master blend?
I’m sure there is a way to make your own nutrients. Something as simple as a compost tea that is diluted with water might work.
Thanks. BTW you kinda had me on the edge of my seat when I saw you pouring those cups into the jug over the open packets of fertilizer. My luck I would have spilled it and ruined them.
Thanks for watching. I’ve definitely spilled plenty. 😆
Thank you so much someone showing per gallon finally !!
You're welcome. Glad you found my video help!
Perfect video tutorial on how to mix a small batch properly, thank you for posting this video.
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.
pwede pala ganyan sukatan.ako kc nag order pa sa shoppee ng digital weighieng scale
Mr. Joyner, I have a question maybe you can answer. When starting your plants in the water do I fill up completely with the solution you showed how to make or do I have to add plain water ? If plain water how much of the solution do I add to the water ? Thanks for your help. I've only grew in soil. Was thinking I could just put in the solution, then I thought that may be too much, maybe I have to add plain water. Figured I'd ask someone who's done it. Thanks bro.
Honestly it’s trial and error for me. If I see my plants are not looking healthy, I’ll add more nutrients. I think I started with 1 to 2 ratio (nutrients to water). Here’s a link you also check out that might be helpful too. www.tool-rank.com/tool-blog/editorial/masterblend-hydroponic-fertilizer-calculator-for-any-container-size-201610071988/
Its Not that simple if your Growing seedlings you dont want to burn them too much MB will Burn them so you use 1600-1800 EC for them, then when you get 2 sets of tomatoes the second set cherry size then up the EC to 2000 which is More MB ES and CNit in the right proportions. just measuring like this is not the TOTAL ANSWER to fertilising Tomatoes or anything it just shows how to mix the stuff so you dont get nutrient block thats why you mix seperately, then measureing out for 6 seperate pots if using Kratky gets even more complex do you measure for each pot or for all at same time, if you measure all at same time you measure out how much goes into each considering each one is the same amount 7.5 gal, 6 pots 18grmMB 18grmCalNit and 9Grm ES for each then to measure out equally you need an equal measurement for each from your bulk source, say 6 times 50ml for the ES and MB and 6 times 50ml for the CalNit, if you use 6 times 50ml for the CALNit and ADD 6times 18grm after it dissolves you will have more solution than when you started making the 6 times 50ml into 7 times 50ml so you will have left over solution that need to be in the pot then you need to divide that 50ml into 6 parts and add it to the pot, but if you use 5 times 50ml to start add the calnit the volume will lift up to 6 times 50ml and then you wont have left over solution and you will get 6 equal measurements to add to pot, i do my ES seperately bcos it needs to be heated in warm water to MELT it otherwise it sits in the water and does Not dissolve, 5 times 40ml add 38grms ES and i get 6times 40ml easy to measure out with no left over solution.
Very nice video and music!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it!
Thank youuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

How much water do you use to dilute initially?
However much you want to use. No specific amount. I’ll just use water from the gallon of water I’ll be mixing the nutrients with.
@@timjoyner174 thanks
With out guessing do you know the shelf life after mixing ?
Honestly, I do not know. I’ve seen where people will premix in advance and use it for later, so I would assume if properly stored should be shelf stable for a long time.
@@timjoyner174 Thank you for your reply. I have one more question how much do you use per plant ? And thanks again
I don’t measure by the plant. I measure by the container size. For example if I’m using a 5 gallon bucket, that’s the amount of nutrient solution I’m using. This way I can set it and forget it. I’m sure there is a more precise way, but this has worked for me. Hope that helps.
You didn’t say how much water when starting to mix looks like half cup that’s what I’m going by
Use whatever amount to dissolve your nutrients. No measurement required.
Great Job Tim ☘️
Appreciate the love!
I see different person did different formulas, not sure which one to follow.
I was just doing what has worked for me personally when it came to my hydroponic setup. I’m sure as you get started you will figure out what will work for you. Hopefully this helps your process.
Do you test your ph level after mix all your nutrients?
I’ve never tested my ph level. I’m sure it would help, but it has never been an issue for my plants.
The music was so loud I couldn't hear a word you said. Oh well.
To be fair I didn’t say anything in video, just music. Thanks for watching though.
You made it look easy my friend. If you don't mind ma asking, did you use regular water from the sink or distilled? And I'm putting this on my vegetables that are in the ground. Tomatoes etc. Would you happen to know how much mix solution I should use per plant? It seems you're growing hydroponicly but I figured I would ask. Great video though. Thanks
Thank you. I’m using water from my faucet. I wouldn’t know how much you need for each plant, but I would assume the plant would intake however much nutrients it needs to be healthy. I try to keep things simple and lot of it’s trial and error.
@@timjoyner174 Thanks for the quick response Tim. That was plan to do what you suggested but we have what we call here in TX. gumbo soil. But I've been working on a few areas to get it well drained and now that we have chickens, that chicken poop is surely going to help.. You, your family and friends have a wonderful, enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
how many cup of water each for desolving the material
I just use enough water that will allow me to mix it well until it’s dissolved.
hello Tim, Im a cannabis grower, will masterblend work with coco coir?
I don’t know. I’ve never grown cannabis. Definitely worth trying and seeing if it works.
@@timjoyner174 so far it's working on my plants , trying to figure out how often to feed this mixture, just started but plants look great
7/1/2022
Per US gallon or Imperial gallon. I assume US.
It’s per US gallon.
@@timjoyner174 Makes a big difference. Thanks for the response.
Is this mix for cannabis??
I've never grown cannabis, so I can't say with 100% certainty.
