This thread lists the NPK of a few common products. It is also sorted by manufacturer and by type of product: main nutrients, PK boosters, cal-mags, vitamin & kelp products, and carb products.Nutrient lines can be hard to compare. Most liquid nutrient manufactures break up the essential elements into 2 parts (or more). Juggling 4 bottles, looking for up to 17 elements, trying to factor application rates, all can be difficult (especially when medicated in a store). Ive posted some of this before andLets start with two related tangents. Twothat a lot of new growers fail to comprehend.'PPM meters'measure parts-per-million. One more time, 'PPM meters'measure parts-per-million. 'PPM meters'measure electrical conductivity (EC) (EC measured in μS/cm or mS/cm) Then they take this μS/cm and convert it to a unit they have labeled 'ppm'. Different manufactures use different 'ppm' conversions, hence the different conversion factors.So I urge all users to use EC (μS/cm or mS/cm) instead of uselessly posting their 'ppm' without knowing their scale (If you are going through the trouble of posting your conversion, why not convert it for your audience?).Some products do not register on an EC meter and some register high vs the fertilizer present (for example, Liquid Karma raises the EC a lot, compared to the actual amount of fertilizer in contains. Most of this reading is from the 'Non-Plant Food Ingredients' Humic Acid, Aloe Vera, etc).A (20-20-20) fertilizer is not equal parts N:P:K.P and K are calculated as P2O5 and K2O.P is 43.6% of what is labeled.P=31 O=16.P2O5 = (2 x 31) + (5 x 16) = 142.P = (2 x 31)=62.62/142 = 43.6% P in P2O5.K is 83% of what is labeled.K=39 O=16.K2O = (2 x 39) + (16) = 94.K = (2 x 39)=78.78/94 = 83% K in K2O.The most referenced is: Mel Franks/pH/Lucas formula.(This type of listing is the actual elemental parts-per-million; the reading you are searching for (and not getting) with your 'ppm meter'). These numbers have all came from the Canna Stats nutrient profile calculator . The math could be done by hand, but that page makes everything a lot easier.Here is the list, keep in mind that labels are a, CNS17 for example lists only a handful of micros, CNS stands for Complete Nutrient Solution and the 17 is referencing the 17 elements they consider essential . I am sure there is more than thethat Botanicare chose to list (someone posted Botanicare considers this a trade secret).is ammonium nitrogen,is water soluble nitrogen, water soluble means immediately available to the plant.Anything marked 'NOT LISTED' means the element is listed in the ingredients but not the guaranteed minimum analysis.Magnesium Sulfate = epsom salt ( MgSO4·7H2O ).Mostapplication
