Nano Fert Dosing 101

Color Me Blue · 03-18-2007, 12:47 AM

That's what I'm in the process of doing myself. Though I have been using straight tap (high pH), my tank itself would lower it some, but not low enough. So I thought about doing a mix of R/O and tap. Thanks for helping me with this, now I got to get cracking with my luck factor. LOL I'm going to try 1/2 tap and 1/2 R/O for this next week, then the following week, I'll try more R/O to tap water. I got to get my shimpies used to it first.

Thanks again!

Your fourth reply on this thread brought a tear to my eye and made me a new man. Really touching.

I'm glad you posted this, I had been thinking about doing this, but you confirme that it would work.

Yeah, it works very well and is a lot faster than measuring out your individual ferts every time you dose. Just get yourself one of the oral syringes like in the pic below at any drug store (they're used to give medicine to babies) and you're all set.
