Hello Ray!

An US gallon = 3,8 L.
Accroding to the ppm calculator on your site, tu get a 125 ppm N, you need
..5 teaspoon ! Why did you write 0,095 to get 125 ppm N?

I`m confused! I just woke up `cause I was working night, so that`s maybe....

| The calculations are (approximately):
|
| teaspoons/gallon (US) = 0.095 x N (from fertilizer label) for 125 ppm
| N
| teaspoons/gallon (US) = 0.114 x N (from fertilizer label) for 150 ppm
| N
|
| The MSU formulations were designed to be used at 125 ppm as that
| provides the maximum growth without overdoing the nitrogen (which is
| what the MSU folks concluded was the cause of reduction in blooming)
| while providing the correct concentrations of all of the other
| nutrient ions without waste.
|
| Personally, I doubt going a bit higher on the concentration of your
| solutions will have any consequences to your plants, but is a waste of
| fertilizer, which can have a long-term environmental impact.

| Hello Ray!
|
| The MSU should be use at 125 ppm of N. Is it a strict number or if
| you go a
| little higher it would be fine too, I mean about 150 ppm?
|
| To get 125 ppm on N, you have to use .5 teaspoon?
|
| Thanks

| | Bob,
| |
| | One thing you might note in your docs - Bill Argo told me that the
| | fertilizers were designed to be used at 125 ppm N at every
| watering.
| |
| | FWIW, I have been using it that way for 18 months now, and am very
| | pleased.

| | The Canadian broker is AMA Plastics in Kingsville, ON.
| | 1-800-338-1136.
| | The man I talked to (Bill) said that several societies have
| bought a
| | bag. They only sold it in 25 lb bags when we bought it for the
| | society last year. I don't know if they sell it in smaller
| | quantities
| | yet.
| |
| | The data sheet that comes with it is not complete. I have a
| | complete
| | data sheet on our club website at
| | http://los.lon.imag.net/MiscFile.asp
| |
| | The data was updated from articles in Orchids and from personal
| | communications with Jan Szyren -Greenhouse Coordinator: Plant
| | Biology
| | Teaching Greenhouses and University Orchid Collection -Michigan
| | State
| | University
| |
| | I also added a table of the various amounts of fertilizer to add
| to
| | an
| | IMPERIAL gallon to get the ppm values since the original was
| only in
| | U.S. gallons. Finally, I added teaspoons of fertilizer values
| since
| | the original only came with numbers for ounces and grams of
| | fertilizer
| | since all of our members had access to a teaspoon but most of
| them
| | did
| | not have access to anything that would measure ounces or grams.
| |
| | Good luck.
