    hey for all pta people that are using the prof palm fibre peat method. . was wondering where you got the 500g bag of chemicult? I have tried zambezi and centurion builders wharehouse. all they have is 1kg or 2kg bags . I don't see the point buying so much, even the 500g bag is to much since we only use a teaspoon.
    if you have some and you in pta pm me ill buy what you havent used or something.

    Brads: You should be able to get it at nurseries as well.
    I would be able to spare you some, but I'm in Cape Town....

    Such a waste to get 1kg. Sure there should be someone in PTA that can help. Why not check through the old threads and see who recently set up their tank with PFP?

    Just be careful with the tubs, they are not quite the same!! They contain other nutrients that are designed to be specific to the plants they are intended for, and some of these are harmful. They also contain different ratios of nutrients to the Hydro powder which again may cause issues!

    Hey Darryn

    Do you still have some Chemicult left over? I would like to use it for the pfp mix that Prof Dirk recommended.
