Sorry, Paul, when the term "PMDD's" was first being thrown around, I
thought I remembered that someone was using the percentages in Mastergrow
as the model for PMDD. I know that your addition of N was an added step to
reduce P in nitrogen limited tanks. Sorry if I mislead people.
In any case, whether PMDD's were originally based on Mastergrow or not,
Mastergrow contains all trace elements, and relatively larger amounts of K
and Mg. One of the nicest things about it from my perspective is that the
label states the exact percentages of each element in the formula.
