How many grams on a teaspoon ?
Theres your answer i guess divided by a lb
45 tablespoons a lb if its 10grams a spoon :)

How hard is it ?
I get 20 grams on a full tablespoon of bloom...1kg bag is 1000 grams ...
1000 grams divided by 20 = 50
So a teaspoon should give you 100 teaspoons @10 grams a spoon
...im trying just for you lol

Jesus dude why do you need to know the exact amount of teaspoons of nutes you'll be using ?

If its that important call or email JR Peters & ask them , ive been here 10 yrs & have never seen any grower require such precision weights for fertilizer , especially cost effective brands like Jacks or Peters .

One thing i can tell you is feeding twice a week with any Jacks or Peters nutes is way heavy on the nutes unless your growing in barren soil, or your seriously diluting the feeding table , i used Peters & Jacks for 20 yrs & never needed to fertilize more than once every 2 weeks in hearty soil .

oh you have some and personnaly weighed it?
I used the bloom all season just gone...the package comes with a 5 gram and ten gram spoon already in it.
I found using a tablespoon just as easy.and a full one was nearly 10 grams.
Used it once a week to feed for 2 plants.Theres enough in a 2.2lb bag to last a second season if only doing 2 plants again...im also curious as to why you are hellbent on knowing how many teaspoons etc in a bag the stuff is cheap to buy ...

I`d use weight as the larger the res the more error you`ll introduce. Do the same for the calcium nitrate.
