Default Hozon Siphon info

Thanks Doug,
So one would divide 16 into the amount of water/fert required for the
ratio?
What if it was 1 Tablespoon to a gal?
Cheers Wendy (who is having a math mental block)

I know I asked about this a long time ago but again, I need a math
formula
to
work out the amount of fert I use.

The Hozon is a 16 : 1 ratio.

eg..... 1oz of fert to 1gal of water


I also mostly use a 2gal container & would want 1/4 strength?

HELP!
Cheers Wendy


128 oz to the gallon...So the system will pick up 8 oz of liquid per
gallon.

So if you 1 oz per gallon, you need to do an 8 to 1 dilution (e.g. 1
pint per gallon or 1 quart per 2 gallons)
