CALIBRATION
Note the required dosing ratio of each fertilizer solution and the dosing ratio of the acid solution (if used).
Fill a bucket with 10 liters (2 US gallons) of the client's supply water (without fertilizer or acid).
Measure the EC and the pH levels of the water in the bucket using calibrated portable sensors.
EC pH
Supply water (without fertilizer or acid) 0.3 7. 8
Using a measuring tube or a syringe, take a dose from each fertilizer solution and from the acid solution (if
used) according to the proportions determined by the dosing ratio (see example below) and mix thoroughly
with the water in the bucket.

US units
For a fertilizers dosing ratio of 3.0 US gal/THG each
and an acid dosing ratio of 1.1 US gal/THG
the quantities for 2 US gallons of water in the
Bucket-simulation-test will be
0.76 oz* of each fertilizer solution and
0.28 oz** of the acid solution
DEFINITIONS
1 US gal = 128 oz
*
3.0 X 2

= 0.006 US gal = 0.768 oz
**
1.1 X 2

= 0.0022 US gal = 0.28 oz
Measure the EC and the pH levels of the mixture in the bucket using calibrated portable sensors.
Compare the measured EC and pH values to the target values set by the agronomist/consultant.
