GREAT video!!!!! I will be making this today. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome! I love it
Thank you so much for using the metric system and not imperial.
In the 100 l , the ratio is 400cc + 400cc in 100 ltrs (4ccx100l=400cc) right?
Good luck with your project. Stay safe!
It's just a hobby for me. No further projects planned this summer, other than installing drip irrigation to beds. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice detailed description of making the concentrate. Everything is looking great, they sure love the juice!! Nice cucumbers, love the way they are trellised!
Thanks Jeff appreciate your support. Its been a lot of learning and more to go. Learned lots from all you guys and gals.
@@livinglifeonlifesterms2450 I have no problem supporting a good channel!
That's what it's all about sharing what we know, and learning. 😁
wow its looks good
Thank you. I will be using this nutrient mix on my plants in raised beds and in Gro-Buckets. New video coming soon to review each plant's progress.
Thank you. You are a big help.
Hi, Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for watching. Means a lot to get comments!
come on guys...move on..its not that hard....PRICELESS!!!! Great info, man!
👌👌👌
This is an AWESOME video!!! Thank you!!! The only other one I was able to find on TH-cam was a Spanish speaking one lol
Thanks to this video I found your channel and I’m about to binge watch all the hydroponic videos 😂
Well thanks for the support!
OH MY BENGI 👍
Awesome CLEAR presentation! Have
"bookmarked" your video to share with
Loved ones! ;)
Thanks for helping so many people!
I'm also thanking you for all those who
are (or will) benefit from you sharing
of your knowledge (but who hurry off to
make up your Solutions without showing
their appreciation for your expertise!)
Wishing you & your family Great Blessings!
:)
Thank you for stopping by watching and commenting!
best explanation ever come across. thank you for the guide
Thank you for watching and glad it helped.
Thanks
My question is already mixed up a five gallon bucket of masterblend for my farm stand. What about maintenance. I'm trying to figure out do I need a maintenance plan like every week or 2 weeks adding more nutrients? Or do I just wait for the 5 gallons to be almost used up by the plants before adding anything else?
There are so many variables to consider for answering your question. First the frequency of feeding would depend on the substrate or soil. If it's an established not first year, then I would feed once every 2 weeks. Also it depends on what you are growing as some vegetables are heavy feeders, especially during fruiting process. But a good rule of thumb is you will see the leaves become less green when the nutrients are used up. You can easily over fertilize so I would start with every 2 weeks and then go more frequent if you feel the need. Plants grown hydroponics with substrate being only in inorganic substrate like perlite need more frequency. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question.
I think mixing stuff into 1L of water may cause the water to become slightly after 1L afterwards. It’s probably better mix into slightly less than 1L and then top up with more water to make exactly 1L after dissolving
🌶🌶🌶
will this also work with maxibloom?
How long wil the concentrate hold.
Did I miss something? If 4cc times 7Liter = 28cc, then shouldn't 100Liter times 4cc = 400cc, not 80cc?
Yes for 100 Litters of ready to pour mixture you will 400 cc of Solution A and 400cc of Solution B. I Apologie if I stated any errors. Thanks for asking and pointing this out. New video coming tomorrow.
@@livinglifeonlifesterms2450 no problem. Looking for to the new video.
Glad you said something...I was feeling that 400cc would be correct but didn't want to make a "correction" comment and be wrong.
Yup. He missed a “0”
and 4 times 10 liter is 40cc but i agree with the other one mix it with 500ml water and then top up to 1 liter after its mixed bcos it does increase the liter to more than a liter of liquid even though the dry ingredients are not a liquid they increase the liter to over a liter and your measurement is wrong when using 4cc per liter, i did the same with 6 times 40ml of water added 35gm of epsom thinking i could measure it out as 6 40ml shots but it was more i had 1 40ml shot extra and had to divide that by 6 to spread it between 6 diffrent potss of water so the volume does increase and will put your measurement out of wack. for every gallon of water its HALF a TSPoon MB and CALNIT, and a Quarter TSpoon EPSalt goin by a dif vid. th-cam.com/video/om8JJGa-oaw/w-d-xo.html
Could you share how you did this? I would like to do the same but make it stronger. I have a 151L tank and I would like to make a concentrate that 100ml would do all 151L. Thanks really enjoyed the video.
Any stronger concentrate will not dissolve properly with water to release the nutrients.
Extremely clear explanation in litres vs gallon mixing formula portion for concentrated a n b solution and how it can to used. 4cc per litre is full strength? How about when the lettuce is only starting tp grow from seedling stage, do we use 2cc per litre?
I personally do not use any feeding until I see primary roots from net cup. In dirt I would wait a good 2-3 weeks and start with half strength. Yes 4 cc of solution A a d 4 cc of solution B in one liter will be full strength.
@@livinglifeonlifesterms2450thanks for the clarification 😊
@@jasminelowpropnex9658 your welcome and thanks for watching!
Question is 4ml per 1L same as 2.4g 2.4g and 1.2g of solution per 1 gallon strenght. I need a A and B mix where its concentrated at 1 liter bottle A and 1 liter bottle B just like yours that gives full feed of masterblends 2 2 1 feed per 1gallon.
Nice Video. Is that Masterblend 4-18-38?? I also bought that kind of fertilizer \
Masterblend is one of the three components in blend yes. Thanks for watching!
What is the ratio for a gallon
How would we make our ppm go higher??? I haven’t found anyone at all that talks about this or even anyone on Facebook in the groups there that will answer my question. Some plants need to be as high as 3500. Do we just add more of the 4-18-38 or do you add a little bit of all 3 ingredients??? Do we have to premix them first to avoid nutrient lockout? Super important thing to know yet nobody talks about it. Thank you
That is an extremely high ppm and I am not qualified enough to answer that question without some research. I may refer you to C.B. for that.

@@livinglifeonlifesterms2450 thank you I will check that out. 3500 was just an example and I haven’t ever brought it up that high. How would you bring the ppm up at all?
Take a baseline ppm of your water you are using first. Then mix the nutrients as per video and place in water. Obtain ppm then subtract the original number of water source. This gives you your true ppm of the nutrients. I would go slowly and just ad small increments if both solutions A and B and recheck. As far as lock out is concerned I have not gone above the normal concentration. Even for tomatoes as they are heavy feeders.
heavy feeders fruiting plants in soilless/hydroponics u can do 3.6 grams masterblend 3.6 grams calcium nitrate 2.7 grams epsom salt per gallon of water end up with 190 ppm n 75 ppm p 300ppm k 180ppm cal 70ppm mag and 90 ppm sulfur but that would be the max i would go if i was u and u can feed that every 1-2 weeks total ppm will be less then 1500-1600 ppm with ro filter water. masterblend the mix they use is for soil feeding every 1-2 weeks but in soilless/hydroponics u can feed that every watering they call that constant liquid feeding.
This should be a mandatory watch for all pepper growers! :-)
I don't know about all that lol but thanks for the compliment. Also thank you for stopping by to watch!
How often do you feed your garden?
I used it once a week.
My Solution A is always yellowish brown in color. Not blue.
Is the concentration to use in hydroponics or for growing in soil
I've used both with success. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
what does the symbol "cc" mean
Does it ever crash out of solution?
I haven't kept it longer than 9 months so I'm not certain.
2 BOTTLE METHOD
500 ml bottle
Bottle (A)
120g (6.5 TB) NPK
60 g (4 TB) Epsom Salt
(Add NPK to warm water & shake then add epsom salt).
Bottle (B)
120 g (6.5 TB) calcium/nitrate add warm water and shake
1 liter (use half if seedlings)
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of A
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of B
1 gallon (use half if seedlings)
9.5 ml (2 tsp) of A
9.5 ml (2 tsp) of B
1 gallon = 4 liters
BUCKET METHOD
Notes: 1/2 tsp Masterblend ( NPK). 1/4 tsp Epsom salt. 1/2 tsp calcium nitrate per 1 gallon of water.
Fill bucket with 1 gallon water Add 4 x 1/2 tsp masterblend (NPK) and stir. Add 2nd gallon of water add 4 x 1/4 tsp epsom salt. Add 3rd gallon water and stir. Add 1 gallon of water and add 4 x 1/2 tsp calcium nitrate. Add each one at a time to avoid clumping and to make water nutrient rich. Using warm water and/or whisk can help dissolve nutrients.
This is for fully grown plants for 1 gallon water
Use half if seedlings
5 gallon bucket
12-12-6 ratio
Ex. 12 grams masterblend-12 grams calcium nitrate-6 grams epsom salt
10-10-5 ratio for microgreens
Hello, sir not sure if you have answered this question. I noticed you did not PHP your water. Do you not PHP masterblend?
100 liters of water x 4 cc of solutions should be 400 cc of solutions, right? Why 80 cc?
4cc of solution A and 4cc of solution B each per liter of water. So 100 liters of water has 400cc of solution A and 400cc of solution B. With huge quantities of water such as 100 liters or more it might be easier to just mix straight into tank in powdered form. Dried materials for solution A first and stir well. Then dried material for solution B. Then to a PH test and ppm to your specific needs.
We are going to be out of fertilizer in a few month's worldwide. Learn how to grow without it. It is very difficult but achievable with effort. The lazy add a spoonful way is going away for a time and some forever. We need plant biologists to generate new plant's for our new environment. 101 today and I do it all by hand. I'm not a professional gardener just willing to do whatever I can to help keep people alive. Wild edible plant's get their nutrients from the surrounding decaying matter so replicating that environment will produce similar effect on the scientists plant. Ultimately human's will be eating more natural vegetation and less of manmade products. Remember that White Man came to destroy life to gain power. What is power without lives to control.
Guess what..... We still have fertilizer. Plenty of it. 😂
If you are living in the United States geo-engineering of toxic chemicals cancels using rain water. Besides, it's illegal in many areas.
Do me a favor next time use a plastic spoon to stir. Also to expedite the video premeasure the ingredients into a small bowl and just poor it into the water. If you tell folks there’s 10 tablespoons they will trust you... that’s preferred over watching you count each tablespoon out. There are also mistakes in the math on the Masterblend label so I weigh using grams on the scale.
Thanks for the tips. Yeah I'm by no means dismissing measuring by weight in grams..I just prefer not to bother with it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
