Using data from this resource in the PremixPPM3b Excel spreadsheet ------------------------------------------------------------------ Before data can be used in the Guaranteed Analysis sheet it must first be stored in the NuteOrama sheet using one of the above methods to place it there. Then follow the instructions in the ReadMe section for "Transferring data to the Guaranteed Analysis worksheet". The data item labeled "Grams/ml liquid" will accompany products listed below. It is not listed on the guaranteed analysis per se, but can be computed by using the Net weight and Volume information found on the label. This can be handy for computing the elemental ppm of a fertilizer solution when liquid nutrients are used, It is simply the weight of one ml of the product. The data is included here to maintain compatibility with the PremixPPM spreadsheet utility.

I've reorganized the list so those items relating to the above data would appear first. The writers were orchid growers. --snip-- Fertilizers Nitrogen. It is important to use the correct type of nitrogen. Urea is one type, but it is a slow-release type that should be avoided. Nitrogen should come primarily from nitrates (nitrate salts), with 25% or less from ammonium. Zuma Canyon and Dyna-Grow are two examples of fertilizers using the correct type of nitrogen. Orchid Hunter 8/91 Most useful to plants when new growth is nearing completion (Rentoul, Specialist Orchid Grower, 179 ) Miracid was originally developed as an orchid food. My friend, a chemical engineer, joined me on 11/24/95 for some preliminary chemical analyses of a number of orchid fertilizers I had on hand, especially to check for total dissolved solids (in parts per million) and pH. The experiment was conducted in my kitchen and not in a laboratory, so some of the measurements may be approximate rather than exact, but perhaps they give some general ideas for comparison. Additional work was done in February 1996. The water used was reverse osmosis water with a total of 20 ppm of total dissolved solids. It is also, of course, unbuffered.
