So ya, I'm high. I wanna give SS a retry, but don't feel like spending all the money on ALL of it, when I only want to run a 1/8-1/4 of the amount used in the original recipe. Just enough to run 1-4 plants really. I don't really have enough space to mix even a half batch. So I tried to break down all the numbers for a 1/4 and a 1/8 batch.
The problem I had is that I don't really know how to convert lbs to any usable measurement. SO! I got really baked, and started thinking about all the measurements I've learned in the last few years. The problem is that I don't really know if I'm mixing dry and liquid measurements and what the difference is. I really don't have a science background. So I did what I thought was right while I was baked, looked it over a little bit more clear headed and the numbers look decent from what I know. Let me know if you see anything wrong.
Here is my reasoning
2 TBS = 1 oz
16 oz = 1 lb.
1 lb. = 32 TBS, 2 cups
I think that is about it. Here is what I came up with otherwise. Like I said, let me know if I'm off.
1/4 batch:
2 bags roots
6.25-12.5lbs worm castings
1.25 lbs Fish bone meal
1.25 lbs Bat guano
1.25 lbs Blood Meal
3/16 cup epsom salt (3 TBS?)
1/4 cup dolomite lime
1/8 cup Azomite
1/2 TBS humic acid
1/8 Batch:
1 bag roots
3.125-6.25 lbs Worm Casting (6.25-12.5 cups)
.625 lbs Fish Bone Meal (20 TBS?)
.625 lbs Bat Guano (20 TBS?)
.625 lbs Blood Meal (20 TBS?)
3/32 cup TBS Epsom Salt (1.5 TBS)
1/8 Cup Dolomite Lime (2 TBS)
1/16 Cup Azomite (1 TBS)
1/4 TBS humic acid (3.75ml)
