Newty’s Perpetual Pantry Party & Outdoor Grow Show

Calling all scientists and mathematicians!

Ok I have 99% Isopropyl alcohol. “They” (grow weed easy) says to mix 70% rubbing alcohol 1:9. What would I mix my 99% at?

I’m going to spray one branch and see what happens before I do the whole plant. I have not seen any live bugs since day zero.

Or should I just do neem once a week for maintenance? I’m in flower so I feel stuck!

I'd mix a small portion of alc. to 70%. Like 1/tablespoon to 1 teaspoon water. Someone please check me about the water being solved with alcohol. I do think thats a simple way to try if so.
 
Hi newty! I realised I’d forgotten to put the link in over at Conrad’s, for the garlic n pepper spray :rolleyes: here it is in case you ever need it (3rd recipe)

Permaculture magazine

And on the iso - I would just use 70% of what the ratio tells me to use. 99 is close enough to 100 for the purpose I reckon :thumb:

And that’s an even better idea! :thumb:
 
Thanks so much! I’ll be doing a garlic spray on Sunday as I leave for the farm soon:) I did a very thorough bug check with scope and no bugs spotted...yet :rolleyes:o_O

They are still quite dried out so another day or so should be fine.
 
I can't math like I used to :oops:.
 
You can take the total volume you want of the final solution and divide it by 10. 9 parts of the 10 is water. The other part you could mix 30% water and 70% of your alcohol.

Sneak peak of the misfits
#weedfarmlife

I gave them all a good hot neem soak last night and some flower nutrients as they transition. They were stalled about 3-4 days after transplant and now I can see growth:)

It's a ratio and both concentrates are techically pure so you could use a shot glass and use 1 shot for the first component to 9 shots. If you wanted to get technical you could go 10ml of one solution to 90ml of the second. Ratios are not like trying to maintain ppms while maintaining ratios like ase does with his NPK.
 
I'll bet those misfits will be trees soon. Heading into stretch now.
 
Oh, don’t they look great! :cheer: Hey we joined around the same time newty :high-five:
