KNO3 available

[Sleepy_lancs]

It's okay. I was trying to clarify so that we don't get mistaken. Thanks for the updates.

I forgot to ask about your calculation. When you say 1 - 1.2ml you mean per dose or for that week? Just want to very sure I understand you correctly.

Sleepy,

Per dosage. Well Tom Barr (founder) suggest to have 20ppm or more N per week,
30 ppm or more K per week
and 2 ppm or more P per week

But those are just guidelines, anyone could customize the dose according to your tank needs.

When i started EI, i use that for my starting point. You could lower or higher the dosage by monitoring the plants behavior. Trial and error basically.

Great! Though...

I never have luck/skills/etc with just simply dosing KNO3 for N, KH2PO4 for P and K2SO4 for K, and etc.

Pre-mix lushGro Aqua still work best for me.

Actually on the contrary, I dose Aqua + Micros and also separately in mid week add Urea, K2SO4 to get that little bit more of N and K as I have APP(Elatine Tiandra), a nitrate monster.

With KNO3, its even better. Got K and N together.

Ahh... okay. Per dose. Thanks. I got it. Then I can estimate. My tank is rather weird, low light with CO2 injection so I need to figure how much to dose. Currently using Lushgro series and I thought if NO3 is available I can easily follow the EI method to take out the guessing. Hmm... Anyone has the calculator for Lushgro series or point me to a place I can download the correct version of the calculator? I saw 2 versions and I can't tell which is the updated version

[Suzerolt]

This is the link to Lushgro Aqua Excel

I use this excel in conjunction with this online calculator : http://calc.petalphile.com/

Thanks for the calculator, Gosh I dose too low for EI. I need 3x of lushgro dose. Hmm.

From the photo, it looks like light is able to penetrate into the bottle..... From my understanding, fertilisers should be kept in a dark bottle, otherwise it'll spoil very fast. Am I missing something??

[Sleepy_lancs]

Just don't sun the bottles.

Jokes aside. Well yes it is true however, if he uses those special bottles, it will bring his cost up so guess who pays for those "upgrades". I just keep mine in the cabinet and take out whenever I use it. After all, I run through my bottle quite quickly.. Sigh...

should be ok if store indoors , ada and borneo wild fertilisers are packaged in clear bottles too

[barmby]

For this reason, we have black trash bag to prevent the garbage from being spoilt..

I promise that I will not sleep in science class

For those people planning to get the KNO3 liquid form... well. bad news... The police has gave him a new warning. He can now only sell it at 5% concentration. And the cost of the bottle to us is the same!!!!! That's means you are paying for the same price but getting half the amount of NO3 (Labour Cost)!!!!

[aquarius]

I read on Seachem's bottle that the Total N is 1.5%....... When you say 5% concentration, is it referring to 5% total N?

[Sleepy_lancs]

What it means is in 1L, we get 50,000 ppm. Pure N it would be 7,000ppm.

Can dose KNo3 to a shrimp tank?

[Sleepy_lancs]

Yes. it is possible. It really depends on what you require. However, I do not suggest you deliver a sudden large dose of high PPM to a shrimp tank. You may want to do it gradually.

Aiyo, why like that? who busybody call police.

[AQMS]

that is why sometimes it is best to keep mum about some things and not share it openly in the forum.

[Dodofish]

What it means is in 1L, we get 50,000 ppm. Pure N it would be 7,000ppm.

Bro, if it is 50000ppm, what is the ratio between k and n? And does it mean 1ml I get 50ppm?

[urbach]

Instructions from the label

10ml of solutions to 100litres of water will give 38 ppm K and 62ppm NO3 nitrogen. This is base on 10% KNO3.
