Dilluting shooting powder

[slimjoint]

I am hand watering and in soil so i want to dillute the shooting powder into a liter of water that way i can use as needed like a regular liquid additive.

if i dillute one packet into a liter i will only need to add around 35-40ml a us gal.
I just want to confirm without killing a crop.

I'm no expert but I also use shooting powder, The method you suggest will probably work. The way I do it is to figure how much powder to use, then just dilute that in any amount of water and add the whole thing. The mixed liquid doesn't have to sit (unknown shelf life).And the powder in the pack is ready for the next week.

Confirmed.
Don't use tap water to make that stock solution, it may cause precipitates.

H&G RECOMMENDS HALF A TEASPOON PER GALLON WHEN IT ITS ONE PACKET TO 25 gallons and 1 TEAPOON WHEN DOUBLING UP... IM USING IT NOW! AWSOME try to get 1.2 to 1.4 EC 700ppms to no higher then 850 and a ph around 5.5 and 6.2

Mg or ml/liters is ppm. Just weigh it on your diggie.

if 1 packet is used for 100L and if 1 packet was mixed into 1L you could use 10ml per 1L yeah?

Maybe... they state half a tea spoon is 2.5 ml and I would only go to 6ml max .....the first week is half teasp then 2nd they said use 2 packet to 100ml or 25 gallons of water so that 1 teaspoon per gallon .....



First week is 2.5 ml of shooting powder ph to 5.8 to 6.6 ?.. add anything you want just check ph also shooting powder can be used in the flush with no taste or smoke problems...


Seconde week is 5mls and water with or without molass
