Sure!
A very lucky guess?:D

Not buyin' dat?

OK, how 'bout dis?

You asked;

"if I need to add 4 tsp of nutes to a gallon what measurement should I use for if im using 4oz?"

Had to assume you meant 4 oz. of water in a small sprayer.:)

So, I just started with the concentration that you needed and scaled it down.

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.
Divide 4 tsp by 4 quarts and it becomes 1 tsp. per quart
4 oz. is 1/8 of a quart.
So, you want 1/8 tsp.

A gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 oz.
A quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 oz.
A pint = 2 cups = 16 oz. (A pint's a pound, the world around.)
A cup = 8oz.

4 tsp. per 128 oz. then is the same ratio as 1/8th tsp. per 4 oz.

Dat outta displain it.:rastasmoke:

Aloha, brah

For converting measurements:
Online Volume Converter (http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm)



...I have to spray thrive alive B-1 on the foilage thats what im using it for....Thanks:jointsmile:
Specifically, why the B-1?
Please read the following:
The Myth of Vitamin Stimulants (http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/~Linda%20Chalker-Scott/Horticultural%20Myths_files/Myths/Vitamin%20B1.pdf)
Although the articles she put's out are agricultural, it's still biologically applicable to cannabis, and horticulturally sound insight. (agri meaning field, horti meaning garden)
Transplant concoctions and Superthrive are among those that are unnecessary.

I read that you can use the B-1 for foilage.... Do you recomend something diffrent?....:hippy:

Usually I spray nothing. All that my plants need, they get via the roots. I used to spray Superthrive, and have tried various iorn additives, calcium and magnesium solutions, mega-bud teas...and found that I was looking for the cures to the problems those products caused. Rarely do plants need a spray, and I live in the desert southwest. Just because a plant can assimilate some nutes from foliar feeding, doesn't mean it's better. Inconsistent absorption and build-up of immobile elements can make it more difficult to diagnose any real issue. Hiding symptoms doesn't fix the problem.

A good 2 or 3-part nutrient system, a good medium, drinkable water...you don't need much else but light. Only other products I use are A humic acid tea (Soil Syrup) after monthly mini-flushes, and 1/2 tsp of molasses (per gal) once a week on a non-feeding day.

Thnaks for that info RUSTY... As im in the Hi-desert as well I was wondering if they need to be sprayed with a foiler... This heat is brutal but on the other hand the love the heat.... I just want the best for my plants and if I really dont need to spray with a foiler I wont. I will keep doing what I do with just water and nutes every 3 waterings.... Thanks again Rusty your the man.:thumbsup:
