PPM Fertilizer Calculations

_Jack's Nutrients 12-4-16 RO

mg of fertilizer = target ppm (mg L) / % of desire element in compound

= mg of fertilizer in 1 liter of water to supply target ppm

target ppm N
125 ppm
% of desired element in compound
.12
L of water in our container
1.7

125 ppm / .12 %N * 1.7 L = 1.771 g of Jack's Nutrients 12-4-16 RO

Task List

TODO
  • Measure water level in mL up to 1/2/3cm from bottom of net cup.
  • Fill the jar with DI water, doesn't have to be milli-Q.
    • Need to talk with Dr. Krueger or Dr. Applegate
    • Measuring 1700ml: need 1000ml graduated cylinder and small graduated cylinder.
      • Fill large to 1000ml and then 700ml.
  • Measure the EC of the DI water.
  • Get my fertilizer, find out how many grams to add that puts the EC in range.
  • Measure the new EC levels of the nutrient DI water.
  • Measure the pH of the EC nutrient solution.
Dr. Alec Wehmeier
  • Secondary chemical storage in 372C?
    • I can store chemicals in any place others are storing chemicals.
  • Wasn't clear, can I use DI water?
    • Yes, I can use DI water from the labs.
  • For food safety, I can measure and mix the water in the lab correct?
    • Yes, I can measure and mix the fertilizer water inside the lab.
  • Transfer of materials between labs? Better to move the chemical or the pc/ec meter?
    • It's okay!
