Really just a question for the vendor..

Got my order in and WOW, that's alot of dry fert for 500ml of Distilled water.

I put the powder in my container and it almost went to 500ml its self. Now the questions I have is.

1. does it every really disolve? it keeps separating.
2. Keep refrigerated?

I hope this product provides results.
 
Did you mix the entire contents with 500mL of water?

I don't use Mg's mix but use another PMDD source and it calls for 1/4cup of mix to 500mL of water.

Possible Yikes! moment here?
 
1 lb of ferts is a lot for a 1/2 liter solution. when done correctly, it should dissolve pretty good. you may need to get yourself a 5 gallon bucket and lid from home depot... or two... :rofl:

OH CRAP .. I just went back and looked at the instructions he gave me....DANG IT.

How can I correct this? I guess I need to know HOW many 1/4 cups are in a Pound.

YEAP I screwed this up LOL

If my calculations are correct... being a Cert Chef, it appeared to be About 3 cup of Ferts. So there are 4 1/4 cups to 1 cup and if 1/4 fert to 500ml of distilled water = 6000ml which = 6 Liters.

LOL...One day I will learn to just SLOW down, I was in a hurry to get to Soccer Practice (I'm a Coach)
 
Owy! Sry. :(
 
i don't think so. i think refrigeration is just to keep mold and crud from building up around the lid in normal 250ml-500ml solution bottles. common liquid fert bottle sizes...

yeah 3 cups divided by 1/4 cup per = 12 bottles. 12 times 500ml = 6000ml <or> 6 liters. of course that's based on your 3 cups estimate. 3 cups seems a bit much to me for one pound, though. maybe mg knows what a pound measures out to in volume off hand. :huh:

I would recommend to keep it refridgerated. It will keep longer. Also be sure to keep it shook up too.
