I've recently pulled the trigger on picking up some maxsea, and have been trying to do some quick calculations on what the reading should be in ppm. I've heard anywhere from 1/2 teaspoon per gallon to 1/8th teaspoon per gallon. The approximate volume in the good measuring system would be between 2.5 ml into 4 L to 0.625 ml into 4 L. Ranging between .0625% ~ .0156%. 625 ppm seems really high, but I've got zero experience with using it. 156 ppm still sounds high but it's closer to what I'd expect. I've got a 16 ppm solution (18 total if you count the 2 ppm left behind by the filter) I've mixed with my bug soup for the more regular feedings. Is this acceptable? I've done a foliar feed on the sansevieria as well with maxsea last I put the pepper on the leaves. They seem to be responding to a 50 ppm dose, which surprises me and makes me think I'm getting placebo by proxy. Carnivores are far more sensitive, so 50 ppm or > 1/24th of a teaspoon per gallon feels correct for heavier feedings. Any thoughts? I've got a super concentrated solution with a known conductivity I can measure with a 1ml syringe for fairly accurate measurements. Attached is the new growth tip after 3 days.
