Do yourself a favor and get a jewelers gram scale from Amazon.Wanting to buy the best way to measure Dry fertilizer. What is your favorite way to measure and why?
LOL all of the above.Have you found the use of scales beneficial more from a consistency viewpoint? Do you just like to know exactly what is going in? Are there plants this sensitive? What say you?
Front load macros and make a solution for micros and you are only measuring once a week.Ive got a 3 decimal jewelry scale that I use the most. Also bought some of those custom teaspoon sets that go down to dash, smigen etc. Honestly I hate dry dosing. It takes up so much more time then say a solution where you measure out 10mL and dump in. Now Ive tried the weekly pill containers and put each dry power in individual spots. It works but not for me.
LOL all of the above.
A scale is significantly more consistent, I like to control exactly what is going in, and some plants are more sensitive to change and prefer certain levels.
m probably more of a control freak than most. When your tank is very high energy you are walking the tightrope I like the leave to least that I can to chance.
And again when people are measuring 1/8 or 1/32 tsp it's little more than a guess. Could be twice or half as much with those.
But as always whatever works. I will say once you get a scale you will wonder why you ever did it with measuring spoons.
LOL yeah I am what I am!I know you so well, LOL
Everything is fluid and always good to try new things, so I might be shopping for a scale one day soon (especially if I get an Amazon gift certificate.) I also haven't rolled my own micros yet so that can happen as well, but right now the GLA micro mix with both cheating agents seems to be working well. I also don't store in solution but I have been front-loading macros (so thanks for that) and with the premixed micros there's really not a lot for me to do.
LOL yeah I am what I am!
And yes if you front load macros there's a lot less to do. If nothing else I like it as it is more convenient.
If you ever want to roll your own micros hit me up and I can help you out.
Just wanted to make note, appreciate you throwing this in there because this sums up my entire approach to the hobby and everything I have an opinion on within it(but I could be convinced otherwise)
I think you hit on why this new forum was created. Someone picked a side of the fence and banned all others who dared choose the opposite side. It was time to move on.I lean towards no, but I don't pick a side of the fence,
LOL you summed it up nicely and I could have written the exact same thing!It's probably the same reason I do alot of things lol, ruling out variables can save alot of troubleshooting time when you run into problems. Am I overthinking the question and do over elaborating on the answer? Also yes; it's what I do.
