DIY/homemade pk booster

so a fellow member wrote one how to make your own pk booster, but he is no longer active, but he mentioned you can use a combination of both elements,so my question is does anyone know or have any idea or experience how much of both elements should be mixed/diluted

here is his post ....






All PK boosters are Monopotassium Phosphate or DiPotassium Phosphate. Or a combination of the two.

Buy 3lb. Costs $11.50.

Go buy 1 gallon of distilled water from your grocery store. It will cost you $1.

Transfer about 1/3 of the jug of water to a separate container.

Add all 3lb of monopotassium phosphate.

Re-add as much water as the container will take.

Use it similarly to your previous PK Booster. It will be slightly less concentrated than any PK 13/14 product. So, you may need to add a little extra. But it also cost you 1/6 the cost.
