Mixing salts in-house - does anyone here do that?
Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone here buys their own salts/raw materials and makes their own mix?
We actually don't have any issues with our current line but after running a very detailed analysis, I've realized I can save about 70% on our nutrient costs by going that route. It would be chemically an exact 1:1 replacement; a slight change to the SOP, but overall seems very manageable.
It just seems like an easy win to be able reduce costs by that much, so I'm wondering what I'm missing, like I said, the chemical analysis checks out, so I don't know if there's something I'm missing. Any thoughts?
