Before I go any further I would like to say I am no math wiz and I might be doing a few extra steps to help
the mathematically challenged. Bare with me, I have had a few drinks... HA!
*****(Figure out how many ml of your solution is needed to move 1 gallon 0.1 ph level up or down)*****
Example...
It will be like 1 tsp/tbsp or whatever for ? amount of gallons. Find what the unit of measurement is in ML.
For me its 1 tsp (aka 5ml) per 4 gallons of water to move a full 1 point (for both my ph up and down)
So take your ML needed, and divide it by your gallons to get your fraction...
For me it was 5ml / 4gallons = 1.25ml to move ONE gallon up or down ONE full PH point.
Because we are trying to move only 0.1ph with the solution, we divide the answer by 10.
Mine was 1.25ml so 1.25 / 10 = .125ml (my solution moves 0.1ph either up or down for ONE gallon with .125ml)
(For me it was .125 ml, Replace my .125 with your solution that moves 1 gallon 0.1ph in ML, as your
solution maybe stronger or weaker than mine.) (the .125 or solution you may need to replace is on line #5 below)
1 (X = Res PH reading) (Q = Desired ph reading) (Y = Diffrence)
2 X (+/-) Q = Y
3 (Y = how many (tenths or 1/10's or .1's of a ph you have to move up or down to get Q)
4 (take decimal out of Y)
5 (Y * .125 = ?ml) needed to adjust 1 gallon to Q. (this is where you need your fraction to be correct, If the ml
needed to move 1 gallon 0.1 ph is a diffrent than .125 ml, replace it with your solution, you may need to be
sober to figure it out if this part is confusing.)
6 For more than 1 gallon Mutiply this (?ml) answer to the amount of gallons to adjust X to Q.
Hopefully I did'nt loose you guys, I'm too fucked up to give variables for every unit of measurement, but im sure
it's easy enough to translate this shit into other shit. IDK why i just got tired of fucking guessing today when i was
mixing. would rather have one very calculated move, than spend ten mins trying to dump out, add in, blah blah...
***EDIT, IF YOU ARE PH'ING RES, WAIT UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE ADDED NUTES TO ADJUST, THEY WILL FUCK YOUR PH ALL KINDS OF SIDEWAYS***
