OK...I have just won a perasaltic (spelling) pump from ebay $30.00...bargan.

It pumps at about 80 ml per minute...I could change the silicon tube to reduce this amount however it will cost me ! I was hoping I could just dilute my plant fert with distilled water.

I wanted to just dose 10 ml fert per day

OK my question: Can I just mix distilled water with my plant fert 50/50 ? I assume plant fert is 98% water anyhow ?

anti-generic

the only problem with dilluting ferts is they need to be aggitaed before application

perhaps you could dirvert any unessecary fuild back into the contanier to aggitate it? or a air stone?

hope that helps
