Hydroponic Nutrients

Hello bpraim1, glad that the nutes the way you want, I started making my own from bulk supplies, if you are just topping up and adjusting, you don't need much, I go broke than I'm am if I had to import with a run to waste system.

I met the guy who set up BKK ACK and also did their other 1ha of houses, ACK is also going to set up in Pac Chong.

The guy works for DATT and is now doing seed testing for Dutch Seed co's, the brands DATT sales.

I don't know which link is which, but he is the guy in back, L/H side, and the other, the bottom picture is a great way to grow, not wasting floor space, but a bitch when windy, when your greenhouse less.

He is a hands on person, and is the nute maker at his place.

I met him in PC one day picking up an order from him, very knowledgeable in hydro.

I'm to cheap to do a run to waste, something about the word waste, heehee

Happy growing. I'm in Srisaket, I see we are both into the chilli side of growing. With some veggies on the side.

Little hot for the Tom's but the Zuch's are huge.

Cheers and happy nute make'n.

Hello Bpraim1, I don't think it's a matter of waste, I look at it like cars, VW or Benz, the both get you from 'A to B', but how much would it cost me to build and operate a system like yours to grow 880 plants? I will move in the next year or so to the house I'm building, how hard would it be to move the system?

I'm figure in my rough calculation's, it now costs me Bt1.2 per plant a day and should have that down to Bt .3 per plant after the drip system is in and buy bulk chems.

I use .5-lt. of nutes per plant a day total, from 3 irrigation cycles. What I buy bulk for 40,000lt's, cost Bt. 13,000. If I would buy the amount from a BKK hydro store, it would be Bt.64,000.

I know nothing about the 1-part nutes you use, do you just add water or other chems + water to get your working stock? I had a brief talk with my grower friend(bubbler & NTF) and he brought back some 1 part mix on his last state side trip, he has to add several things not supplied in the one part nutes. I'm still eating on the large box of Cherrio's from Costco he brought me.

By the way, my nute bill for today was -0-, 1 1/2 hours of very heavy rain, did loose 30% of the ancho blossom, but also got 250 coir filled white bags wash for free.
