Dr Mallick's KNO3 questions

[Aeon]

Just got KNO3 from Dr Mallick.
According to Chuck's Calculator, I need to add 10g to 100ml of water, to get 1.35ppm per 5ml dose of solution. Then add one dose per day over a period of 3 days to get 4.05ppm a week.

The spoon supplied with the KNO3 has 2 sizes, 2.5ml and 5ml. How many grams is 5ml (big spoon) of KNO3?

Found out myself. 1tsp = 4.9ml

Chuck's calculator is using our cooking kitchen teaspoons and tablespoons. So, you should be taking the bigger end of the supplied double spoon as a teaspoon.

According to Chuck's article http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_p...osage_calc.htm , the mass of KNO3 in 5ml is 5.6g.

BTW - there's a later version of his off-line nutrient calculator at http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_aquacalc.htm

cc's stands for cubic centimeters.
ml's stands for milliliters
One cc = one ml They are equivalent.
One teaspoon = 5 cc = 5 ml
One Tablespoon (Tbl) = 15 cc = 15 ml
One Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
One ounce = 30 cc = 30 ml = 2 Tablespoons = 6 teaspoons
8 ounces (The common size for a formula bottle) = 240 cc = 240 ml
