    Yes, it is a complete one that also include high potassium content but it does not contain nitrate/phosphate. Last week, I wrote to JBL's Dr Rainer Keppler to ask for the potassium concentration but he did not wish to disclose though it is said to be high in proportion.

    One important info: He mentioned that the old label on the bottle was wrongly stated. It should be: the outside cap (4ml) for 15 litres of water and inside cap (8ml) for 30 litres of water.

    Hi Ryan,

    You know Ang-Mo, they are slow in many things.


    My dear friend Xter,

    "it's a complete one"

    Complete... well maybe.

    All they say is "Contains iron, potassium and other essential minerals and trace elements in a form readily-accessible for plants".

    You asked about macros and micros. Micros... yes. Macros... K yes, not too sure about S, Ca & Mg, and definitely not N & P.

    JBL, Dennerle and Dupla never reveal exactly what is in the mixture. Probably the reason that I don't use them.

    Confirmed with JBL that the product ferropol does not contain any calcium or magnesium.....but Rainer has mention that those stuff can be found in water sources...not too sure whether PUB tap water has those stuff though. []

    Singapore water quality -> http://www.pub.gov.sg/ws_potable_water.htm.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    It is true that the tap will supply Ca an Mg. GH (Ca+Mg) of our tap is about 3 to 5.

    Sorry to bring up this old thread.

    Is it ok for me to use JBL Ferropol as a micro and I'll dose KNO3 and KH2PO4 for Macros?

    Thanks

    Micro you might want to try EasyLife Pro which come in 2L and 5L. Economical for your huge tank. Very good price can get in NA.

    To clear some doubts, attached is an email received by Geoffrey from the company. He shared with me the details of the contents of Profito.

    ...
    Thank you for your interest in ProFito.
    The different product sizes 250 ml are 500 ml already available. The 2 litres and 5 litres packaging will be available as of June in Singapore through our distributor Rein Biotech Services (www.reinbiotech.com)

    The product contains 17 elements (the chemical notation of them are on the label by the way) :
    Fe(2+) : 1.200 ppm ; K : 7.000 ppm ; Mg : 900 ppm ; Mn : 400 ppm ; I : 200 ppm ;
    B : 80 ppm ; Cu, Mo, Zn, Li : 20 ppm ; Ni, Co, Al, Sn, F : 10 ppm
    V, Se : 5 ppm

    It's a very rich fertilizer with high Fe and K concentrations. Furthermore, the composition is in such a way that plants absorb it very easily. You will notice a big difference regarding plant growth in comparison to other fertilizers, within 4 weeks time.

    Since you already got the JBL, might as well finish using it before buying new stuff.
    Yes. You can dose like you suggested.

    JBL Ferropol, Easylife Profito, Tropica Mastergrow, Sera Florena, Seachem Flourish are all trace nutrients and some with K and Mg. They should be good to supplement the plants' demand for trace nutrients.

    I don't think Profito come with 5L , instead it is should be 4L. It is a black color container.

    Cheers
