Jungle Feed
Jungle FeedHi Ray , for ml/L msu is 13 % N divide x 13 is obviously 1 ml ? is this per litre so it is 4.5 ml per gallon water? it surely cannot be 1 ml a gallon .

What I have learned is that most professional growers (not just orchids), control their feeding by managing the ppm N in the solution, and letting the rest of the nutrients "tag along" in the ratios of the preferred formula. I shoot for 125 ppm N in my fertilizer solution at all times. It's easy to determine the amount to use - just divide 10 by the %N on the label, and the result is teaspoons to add per gallon. For you sophisticated, metricated folks, divide 13 by the %N to get the ml/L.

I am going to buy the Akerne orchids feed which is basically the MSU i think http://www.akerne-orchids.com/index.htm as it is the only one available in the EU . As the feed is 13 -3- 15 does this mean that less feed will be required compared to the 1-0-1 . If so this is just what i am looking for ,as i mix up at 160lts a time sometimes and liquid feeds ,i just use too much of the stuff even to get the mix to 350ppm .

Dilute it about 12:1 or 13:1 12.8/12=1.07 4.8/12=0.4 14.5/12=1.21 Rounding to the nearest whole number, that's 1-0-1 Ray Barkalow - First Rays LLC - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Equipment, Books, Artwork Free Services & Lots of Info! -----Original Message----- From: keith kent ] Posted At: Monday, August 17, 2009 6:33 PM Posted To: rec.gardens.orchids Conversation: Jungle Feed Subject: Jungle Feed Hi , Any thoughts on Jungle feed and can anyone point me in the direction to finding out what is in jungle feed ? It is 1-0-1 , i have found out it is from a stock solution of 12.8- 4.8 - 14.5 so how do they get 1-0-1 ? Regards Keith |
