narnia Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Anyone know where to get hold of some clearing solution? e.g. Florakleen, Clearex, etc. ....or just purchase some glucose and sucrose and mix up my own "sugar water"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If the "inert" ingredients are actually inert, then to help guide you on your path of DIY: sucrose = plain old white sugar, glucose = corn syrup (I've also seen it called corn sugar).

Thanks m8, appreciated. Ya I planned on finding a fine powdered form from a health shop or the like, or if not, just dissolve in warm water. Do you, or others, run something similar, or just lowest ppm water available? Or should I just *not mention the F word around these parts?

alemo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 All these solutions are is solutions with a high EC and low nutrient availability. Add some synth chelates to your mix and you have AN flawless finish. Add fulvics to mimick another international brand. Nitrogen fixers for another. It is really all the same. Find some good synth chelates if you're in hydro, play with the pH of the stuff. Add gatorade, aspirin whatever, it is all just hype. Do a little basic chemistry and a whole world of cheaper alternatives open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya have some amino mix (which I've been assuming is a mix of humic and fulvic?), that have used in the past. Intended to run through separately if using sugar water for first flush, then just on to plain water. You reckon just add the aminos to the sugar mix? What are options for synthetic chelates? I'm only aware of EDTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alemo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I imagine amino is a mix. But so is fulvic, and actually so is humic. I would try avoid fulvics toward the end. Synth chelates like edta and dtpa are the easiest to come by. But only really work for heavy elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I would try avoid fulvics toward the end. May I ask the reasoning and ballpark time frame? e.g. 1,2,3 weeks away from harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alemo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 2 weeks shy and you should cut anything that'll chelate macro elements unless purposefully blasting the medium to lock out the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
