To make a homemade nutrient solution, you can find an MS medium component table online, buy the different chemicals according to the component table, divide the chemicals into different proportions, dilute and mix them with water, and then pour the mixture into the water. The solution should be prepared fresh and used immediately, and the concentration should be dilute, not too high. In addition, you must follow the instructions, because some chemicals conflict when put together.

I. Homemade nutrient solution methods

The first type is inhibitors, such as adding salt or adding certain things to inhibit bacterial growth. There are also promoters, such as adding sugar or aspirin. If you add only a single substance to the water, it is quite difficult to solve the nutrient level issue.

At home, it is possible to make a nutrient solution yourself. You can find an MS medium component table online, and buy the different chemicals according to the component table. For this kind of nutrient solution, the chemicals need to be divided into different proportions, diluted separately with pure water, and mixed in a certain ratio. When using it, mix the agents completely and then pour them into the water body.

II. Precautions

1. Prepare fresh and use immediately: These solutions must be prepared fresh and used immediately, mixed right before use, because after standing for a period of time some chemical agents will develop various problems, such as precipitation and reactions with other substances that cause denaturation.

2. Concentration should be dilute: Some agents are trace elements, applied in very small amounts, and the concentration to be prepared is very dilute, so the operation must be strict. Once the concentration is too high, it may inhibit plant growth, or even cause toxin poisoning, that is, poisoning from excessive amounts of certain elements.

3. Operate according to the instructions: Some chemicals conflict when put together, so you must operate according to the instructions, prepare different solutions, mix them before use, and immediately add them to the water body so they can take effect and avoid unnecessary effects. Preparing this kind of nutrient solution requires certain chemical knowledge and operational skills, so there is a certain degree of difficulty in the process. Of course, for experienced flower lovers and flower lovers with certain chemical skills, the operation should not be too stressful.
