Hi i want to start off by saying i think i am horrible at math but i need help. I am trying to find out the total percentage of nutrients in a certian batch of nutrients.
This is how i think its done buy im not sure if im right.
Nutrients come in npk values. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. 2-1-1 for example 2% nitrogen 1% phosphorus and 1% potassium
Example.
Nutrient 1 = 2-1-1
Nutrient 2 = 0-5-2
Nutrient 3 = 1-0-1
Ok so i am trying to figure out the percent of the total parts per million number.
Nutrient 1 raised the ppms up to 500
Nutrient 2 raised the ppms up to 700
Nutriend 3 raised the ppms up to 1000
So i take the total ppm of 1000 and subtract each total ppms raised of each nutrient.
Nutrient 1 raised the total by 500
Nutrient 2 raised the total by 200
And nutrient 3 raised the total by 300
So i then take the total ppm of 1000 and divide it by each of the numbers i just got
1000/500=2
1000/200=5
1000/300=3.3
Then i take 100 and divide by those numbers
100/2=50
100/5=20
100/3.3=30
Then i take the original npk value of each nutrient and x's by .50 or .20 or .30?
So nutrient 1 with the npk value of 2-1-1 would be
2 x .50 = 1
1x .50 = .5
1x .50= .5
Nutrient 2 with thw npk value of 0-5-2 would be
0 x .20 = 0
5 x .20 = 1
2x .20 = .4
Nutrient 3 with an npk value of 1-0-1 would be
1 x .30 =.3
0 x .30= 0
1x .30 = .3
So the total of my npk solution would be 1.3-1.5-1.2
Is this right? I kinda stumbled onto this equation and i juat want to know if its correct?
The reason i am doubting myself is because i started to think that if one of my nutrients also has another value instead of the original npk values, like if there was also 20% calcium in the mix as well and i get a total of 100 ppms from that nutrient woud that effect the percents im getting?
I really hope all this makes sense lol.
