Re: Simple Macro Mix

That 5Ca is 'Calcium Nitrate'. In the US, they sell the double salt incorrectly as calcium.nitrate. ugh.

Get the GLA calcium.nitrate and use as 5Ca.

Re: Simple Macro Mix

OK after MUCH experimentation, successes and failures - partly due to the industry calling using 'Calcium Nitrate' quite loosely ( :evil: ), the latest results are VERY encouraging. Here's the mix for a small batch (I usually multiply everything by 10 since I use a lot of this): Solution A: Start wi...

Guyana and all...
