NPK values for KNF method solutions
Top answer
From the KNF library
The library has no NPK test of the KNF solutions, and it does not say where to find one.
Master Cho does not track NPK. He uses one balanced fertilizer the whole cycle, though Drake thinks that oversimplifies the biology. (Office Hours Ep. 140, 54:13)
Drake's manual warns that a lot of people over nitrogen their plants. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 47) It compares PureFuel to fuel on a fire. When the fire already blazes, adding more accelerant is probably crazy dangerous. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 47) That suggests doubling the dose may not help.
- PureFuel matters most when a plant is a juvenile. Older plants need less, because they make more of their own amino acids. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 47)
- Drake balances the solutions. More PureFuel at 1:1000 means less PureStructure and PureReproduction at 1:2000, which can assist vegetative growth. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 47)
On timing, one study in the library found that two IMO applications two weeks apart increased kai choi growth compared with one. (Unravelling the Mysteries of KNF, p. 140)
The library does not diagnose yellowing leaves or say what your App amounts contain. Drake would need to see your setup.
