Dilluting shooting powder

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.

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
