In how much water did you do this preparation?
you mix the dry chemicals together, and then use at the rate listed in the recipe
then i mix in dry 908,19 and 90,81 and use 1 tsp per 5 gallons ?.
not mixing all in quart of water and re-diluted after ?.
Sorry but my english is very bad.
regards from argentina!
yes that is correct, add the combined dry ingredients, and use 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of water at first, then increase to 2 tsp per 5 gallons in late flowering
Hey my man. From one of your posts years ago. How much of that blend to a gallon of water? Thanks! Hope youāre well and perfectly high! Iām experimenting with some MOAB. I remembered getting great results with your mix but lost it in my phone somehow. Have you changed anything or updated? Thanks again.

^ this is good advice. In general, adding N in late flower will increase yield and decrease potency. NH4 is a very small molecule and is absorbed something like 3x faster than NO3.
+1 this is the way
1 gram of 50/50 mix adds these ppms per gallon. With salts, 0.5g/gal of amendments is a good number. 1g/gal is usually the most Iād use.
@lefthandseeds. Should I reduce my base 50% when using the 50/50 mix? Thanks! It was recommended to me to cut my base mix by 50% when using MOAB.
If you are getting all of your micronutrients from your feeds (iron, manganese, boron, etc) you might not want to go all the way down to 50%. That would be the main thing Iād consider. I think itās OK to reduce Ca a bit at the end, because K, Ca and Mg antagonize each other. But the plant really gets K hungry after stretch.
Thanks Lefty! That cleared all my questions. Itās good to have really smart friends when youāre a Shitkicker! Take care man.

I started using KNO3 instead, works better with Dyna-Gro which is weirdly low-K and high-P.
For most formulas MKP/K2SO4 works beautifully. I use it on the outdoor plants, tomatoes go crazy. I also like that the mix of the 2 isnāt nearly as acidic as pure MKP. Maybe even 1/3rd MKP, 1/3rd K2SO4, and 1/3rd KNO3 would be real nice. Unsure how theyād interact in solution.
If you want to balance the acidity, you can also use DKP along with MKP. Something like 1/3 DKP and 2/3 MKP is pretty close to pH 6. Equal parts Iād expect to be close to neutral.
OKā¦got it! Now what the hell is DKP? I havenāt had so many bags of white powder since the 80s!
āI can get you a toe, dudeā
The toe is paramount but can you just translate the K2SO4 etc. to English for me? In a way a Shitkicker can understand? I might have some. IDK. Thanks brother. Be well my friend.
Potassium sulfate
Thanks Lefty! That cleared all my questions.

What is DKP? Last question I promise! Iām confident I have some.
Mono potassium phosphate?
@lefthandseeds. Still .5 to 1gram per gallon of water? From wk 2 of flower to flush?
Thanks again!
Yeah that amount is true of almost any standard salt when amending to the base mix.
