Thanks for this very informational and thorough explanation of plant nutrition. If I could make one suggestion, please lower the background music. For some neurodivergent people like myself is very distracting, and for people who are hard of hearing it's very difficult to here all you have to say

I LOVE your scientific approach to plant fertilizer! I've been using your regime for a few months and my leaves are HUGE! It really works! I keep an eye on pH and use your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing your process. Your gorgeous huge leaves are so inspiring.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the sweet birb's dance moves in the background. Makes me want to bop along 🦜

Great video but I would explain what you are referring to when you mention PPM. PPM by itself is just a way to express how much of something is dissolved in a solution, usually. In this case using that ppm meter, im assuming it's a TDS/pH meter, you are measuring the ratio of total dissolved solids in the water. Total dissolved solids are things like mineral salts, and other things dissolved in the water. It tells you that there are things dissolved in the water but not tell you what's in it. This ppm can also be affected by things things other than fertilizers, for instance organic matter like fish poop that hasn't been processed by your aquarium's biological filter or even adding things like sugar. Your tds is also largely determined by the kind of water you use initially in your fish tank so I would mention this as well. If you use tap water with high tds ppm, then your initial fish tank water before adding all the fertilizers will also have a higher tds ppm. PPM can also be used to roughly measure more specific things depending on what kind of tester or testing methods you use. Overall I learned something new and I loved how gorgeous your plants look. I currently use Dyna gro foliage pro using reverse osmosis water, tds ppm is around 20 and pH is around 6. Haven't really measured the ppm after adding the fertilizer but I'm curious now. Im also curious about adding cal mag since I know aroids love extra calcium. That calcium oxalate they use for defense has to come from somewhere!). my local water source also has medium amounts of tds and decent amount of calcium and magnesium already present, and 7 to 8 pH so I'll experiment by adding some pH down instead.

Wonderful! I can't wait to get all of the products together and start feeding my plants this solution. Thank you!

A new follower here. I thank you for this very informative tip to care for my tropical plants- I can not wait to make the mixture to fertilize my plants and watch them grow.

Good work! I wish the music were lower.

I just got a seedling in a purge of red crystallinum from NSE tropicals I can't wait until mine looks like yours! I've got liqui dirt but haven't used yet I use all bloom city. (Silica boost, bloom city kelp, cal mag, rapid start root enhancer) also got real growers recharge I use every other water. New sub and your videos are so informative I love it please don't stop being so informative

Best boy good knowledge and best thing he is sharing ❤

Please make a video how you keep your big leaf philodendrons / anthuriums damage free !!

This is one of the most clear and helpful videos breaking down a nutrient plan. Thank you! Super helpful. But would someone using soil and semi-hydro use these as well? I know some of the nutrients come from the soil substrate. Also, can you overfertilize with organic fertilizers?

King anthurium is my favorite plant and the world and I got one. I can't wait for it to grow like this.

Nice video. Cute birdie. The background song is too loud though.

Hey, I'm a friggin lumberjack... and I lovveee ya bro! Very very good vids!

If you're just starting off, which product would you get first if you couldn't get all items together? Maybe the first two must-haves.

Hi Nigel, awesome detailed video. Can I use the same routine for a monstera deliciosa?

New subscriber! Thank you for sharing this! Great video! ❤

I'm curious if anyone has tested the products in this video. I use liquidirt everywatering and its pretty good (makes a huge difference compared to just water) but I get the sense that I need to add a more potent plant fertilizer intermittently to my indoor plant regimen.

What if I don't have a fish tank - is there something else I can do to neutralize tap water

Thanks for showing us how to grow things your way Nigel bb. 😘 I request for more fishy videos. Hehehe

Do you mind telling us what country or state youre from? Im curious about the climate. You give them weekly?

Wonderful video

Thank you, awesome video!!!

I think GH always recommends cal mag first. I know you’re not exclusively using general hydroponics but I wonder if cal mag should be first too

Thanks for the video you really inspired me to do this technique. Cuestion! How often do you just use these formulae with your plants ? it just combined with the regular watering?

Great video. I didn't know A&W Rootbeer is a great plant fertilizer. Just kidding!! Anyway, do you think I can skip Cal-Mag and PH Down - and maybe, use a 2-4-1 Fish Fertilizer? I haven't tried...but as long as PH and PPM are in the desired range, I believe the mixed should be good. What do you think?

Thanks for that great video! Are you able to store extra solution for future waterings? If so, how do you store your extra solution and does it ever go bad?

So how often do you water with this mix? Every watering? Or just every 2 weeks?

Just wanting to give some general feedback about the background music it’s a little loud and almost takes over what your saying

Are you able to use all these fertilizers together for all house plants?

Can I use it for my houseplants in sphagnum moss? If so, what would be the amount should I put?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Nigel. I appreciate you for do this. One question? I don't have a fish tank, and thus can't obtain fish water. Would the Ph down serve the purpose of achieving the benefits of the fish water if you're specifically using the fish tank water for the lower Ph levels?

Is this how you water? Or do you use this as feeding once a month?

Great video! Please keep it up 👍🏻 Question: do you feed your variegated plants this solution too?

I don't have a fish tank so I guess I'll have to keep using 3 day old tap water, seems to work just fine.

Great video..... Do you mix all these liquids together to make 1 big solution???????

MgSO4 (where the S comes from in the MaxSea) does NOT make H2SO4 in water, it makes Mg^2+ and SO4^2- (Aq) only. P2O5 reacts with water to create H3PO4 because P2O5 is an anhydride, MgSO4 is not an anhydride. Dissolve some Epsom salts in water and the pH will remain unchanged because it is a neutral salt. P2O5 is excellent for use in tap water because when P2O5 is converted to H3PO4, a free hydrogen is released which then combines with calcium carbonate CaCO3 in the tap water to produce Ca^2+ and 2 HCO3^1-, providing bioavailable Ca to the plants. Incidentally, tap water in most places is perfectly fine to use on plants, provided the TDS is below 300. If the water is treated with chlorine, it can simply be degassed overnight. Since chloramines are now used in most US municipal water supplies, removal isn't as easy but chloramines are actually less toxic to plants than free Cl. I use tap on all of my houseplants (excluding orchids and velvet leaf Anthurium, e.g. warocqueanum) without issue. The roots of orchids and velvet leaf anthurium are chloramine sensitive and it damages the velamen, inhibiting their ability to uptake nutrients. I'd also wager you could use only the MaxSea and CalMag and get exactly the same results. Personally I prefer a fert that does not contain urea (water insoluble nitrogen) on indoor plants because 1) it does not register on a TDS meter. Your TDS is actually about 10% higher than what you are reading. 2) Urea is not immediately bioavailable and requires breakdown by specific bacteria in the media and it takes around 30 days to convert from urea CO(NH2)2 to ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3), which is bioavailable.

Angie baby, we have to put plant food .for the leaves to grow big.

Great video. 👍👍👍 Can I use this for my plants in sphagnum moss ? 😃

Thank thank you so so much

I just can’t your voice 😂

Should I use this on my El Choco node?

Thanks for the video! Do you use this solution throughout the winter as well?

Can this mix be used for semi hydro?

do you use this to water your plants every time?

Can this method also work for peace Lilly’s?

Just want to say the green illuminsence is copper.. it looks like the copper meds I use for fish :)

is this mix good for alocasia?

Will this be good for my pink princess?? Also I just ordered a queen antherium. Would you use this for that as well and do I do this at every water?

Could you please let me know where to purchase your pH PPM monitor thank you

Can you do a video about lights

Any suggestions for when you don’t have access to fish water?

Just grow them outdoors and bring in when need to show. 😂

💚💚💚

SUPREME🤘

ppm what, please ?

Is there an alternative to Maxsea? I live in the UK and I have looked everywhere and I cannot find a place to buy it from :(

Nice vid but the music was distracting because it loud.

Please, no background music

That's high ph for your tap. Mine is at 5.7 off the tap

Eat helpful info. Music is terrible😑😑😑

Music is annoying, c couldn't stand it in the 70`s and it ruined your video in 2022

This is informative, but slightly too extra. Need more minimalistic product ideas. Not about to be a chemist. Great content tho! Im sure a lot will love this. 😊
