Jungle Feed

Hi , Any thoughts on Jungle feed and can anyone point me in the direction to
finding out what is in jungle feed ?

It is 1-0-1 , i have found out it is from a stock solution of 12.8- 4.8 -
14.5 so how do they get 1-0-1 ?

Regards Keith

Sorry it is called Jungle Green

Dilute it about 12:1 or 13:1

12.8/12=1.07
4.8/12=0.4
14.5/12=1.21

Rounding to the nearest whole number, that's 1-0-1

Re: Jungle FeedThanks for that Ray , i did see the orchidboard post after doing a search.
I am going to buy the Akerne orchids feed which is basically the MSU i think [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] as it is the only one available in the EU .
As the feed is 13 -3- 15 does this mean that less feed will be required compared to the 1-0-1 .
If so this is just what i am looking for ,as i mix up at 160lts a time sometimes and liquid feeds ,i just use too much of the stuff even to get the mix to 350ppm .

Keith,


Yes, "Akerne's RAIN MIX" is the MSU fertiliser for rainwater etc.
Our TAP MIX version is not there yet as we have trouble getting all
the ingredients, let us just say that one of the ingredients needed
can be used for other purposes.... making it very hard to near
impossible to get hold of.

Have a chat with my father at the BOGA fayre end of the month
concerning your concentration.
We go up to 550ppm for ALL our orchids (no exception) and this
includes, amongst others, anything from Disa, Cyrpipedium,
Paphiopedilum, Masdevallia over to Cattleya and Cymbidium.


kind regards,

Small, but very important correction.

I meant to say that we add fertilizer to reach conductivity of 550 µS,
not 550ppm....


Kenneth.

So that is around 350 ppm ,do you feed at this rate all year round or reduce
..
Obviously in winter watering is reduced for most plants so will get feed
less frequently .
Kenneth ,can you confirm that the 2.5 kg rain mix will be for sale at the
Boga show as i am traveling some distance so don`t want to be disapointed if
it is not .

Any chance ya'll could turn off the posting with a text version and
an HTML version and trim the quotes occasionally?
While this thread has been amusing me greatly, 1588 line posts which
are mostly HTML from earlier in the thread is getting a tad insane.

And as keith has finally gone metric like a good european...

PPM Nitrogen = 1000000* ((%N/100)*((fertilizer in ml)/1000)/(container size in liters)

Cancel some zeroes
PPM Nitrogen = 10 * (%N * (fertilizer in ml))/(container size in liters)

And plug in the numbers for 125PPM nitrogen... 13%N in the fertilizer...

125 = 10 * ( 13 * (x))/1

125/130 ml/l and for sanity's sake we just round to 1ml/l.

And if Keith wants to play with the amounts for other PPMs.

PPM component*container size in l/(10*%component)= ml of fert

And if Keith absolutely must find out the TDS... the UK should have
an equivalent to an agriculture extension agency which should, for a
fee, be willing to do a full sample anlysis for him.

Color me a grouch, but these calculations are a no-brainer
in metric. And if you need to end up using screwball non-metric
units, do the unit conversion from the metric answer to the screwball
units.

And Keith... there's this wonderful Unix program called 'units'.
Here's a useful conversion for you...

You have: ml/l
You want: brteaspoon/brgallon
* 0.909218
/ 1.0998462

And another useful conversion...

You have: usteaspoon/usgallon
You want: brteaspoon/brgallon
* 1.1838776
/ 0.84468191

And now I'm off to ponder asking for a half stack of mulch...
