Whoaaaaa.. Wait a sec!! 1 Gal Pots as measurement for mixing? - Page 2 - Organic Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Nursery pots are horribly inaccurate if your medium is already dampened. If it is bone dry you should be able to get about .75 gal per #1.

What does your mix come out to once you dampen and put it into a final container?

Nursery containers go by what's called a "trade gallon". A "trade gallon" is about .71% of a true gallon.

I use a 1 gal rubbermaid plastic pitcher for mixing & measuring-

Less than a dollar at the Goodwill Outlet Store.

Sounds like a DEA conspiracy devised during the dark days of the eighties/nineties!

It became the obvious conclusion to me .
Uk pots where bullshiting about capacity too.
I found buckets better and drilled drainage holes and marked levels.

So i just measured with water 1ml = 1 gram at 20 dec C
most of us own scales.
I found uk 100 gallon tanks had enough spare room to hold 500 litres at 50 ml depth
The math told me the 100 gallon mark was off to fukin muppets
100 uk gallons being 454.6 litres i make nutes so i adjusted the water in the concentrate to be ec 2.0 at 100 ml in 20 litres pure water thats max concentration solution
with 12 x 500 ltrs to change every 14 days easier on the grey matter
Also i new exactly the uptake and how much feed being taken up after topping up with 0.0 ec water.

Fuck Gallons.A
