How big is a "drop"? Should I hold the dropper vertically or horizontally?

Forgot -I have read somewhere horizontal gives a bigger drop than vertical. I try to hold dropper horizontal for a full 12.5mg dose.

Dr. Brownstein's book "Iodine, why you need it,why you can't live without it" says "two drops of Lugols' solution (0.1ml) contains 5mg of iodine and 7.5 mg of iodide. Iodide is the reduced form of iodine which contains an extra electron". Different parts of the body require different forms of iodine.

1 drop = 0.0648524 mL but this depends on what produces the dropHold the dropper vertically

A vertical drop, or so I have read, would be holding the dropper vertically and squeezing the bulb until a single drop falls...

It's got a dropper. Just use six drops. I think that's about half the dropper. Hope that is helpful.

A drop will come out without squeezing the rubber stopper. You may get too much if you squeeze. Try letting it drip. Hope that helps

Perhaps I might have said, a vertical drop, generally used in recipes / dosages, is created by holding the dropper vertically and squeezing the bulb until a single drop falls... or so I have read...

I don't see why you couldn't. That said, I have not had any problems with the dropper...

it should be hung vertically otherwise you will spill lots of water when you change the filter. :-)

The bottles I got aren't even able to fill the dropper up barely 1/4 of the way...dunno if it's a problem with the rubber bulb or the way it's attached...anyway it looks like a 1/4 or 1/2 oz dropper

Wow ...I did not expect this response...I thought it was smaller. Do you store it on it's side or vertically ? I am having some shelves made in a renovated bathroom & not sure how much room I need vertically on the bottom shelf to store the plunger. Can you give me the dimensions?...Thank you SO MUCH !!

The water container should be at least 5' above the pots to obtain enough pressure to the droppers. The manufacturer says 3', but I don't think that's high enough. I had the same problem until I raised the container.

The dimensions of the product are exactly the ones it especified, and yes it's the same for all drop sizes .. Hope this works for you !.

I would say it depends on the drop. I'm sure a couple of feet will be fine(I assume you're thinking of dropping it in a normal situation when you're just holding it in your hands. No parkour with a bigass Ipad). But then I'm not an expert and personally I've never dropped it so don't hold me to it. haha.

I just received mine and it works well horizontally. Vertically, it is very unsteady.

"A drop a cup" means that you only need to use one drop of this fluid per 1 cup of water. Or 3 ounces per 100 gallons. Hope that clears it up for you. It seems to aid more in seedlings. It does make a difference in the overall health of a well taken care of plant.

Fill the dropper and hold the dropper straight up and down to get the full drop.

It's recommended to hold 19 liters, though the volume in the tank is much higher. You do not have to remove the water to store vertically.

Not really, no. To avoid that, you'll need a decanter with a pouring trough and a thin lip. You'll still get the single drop down the side most of the time with this one, but isn't that what thumbs are for?

Sorry this tok so long. My drop is twelve and one half feet long including fittings.

I pull vertical and discharge horizontal. It'll do 2ft of vertical, but barely.

One drop from the dropper. 8-10 drops is about half of the entire length of the dropper.

That is actually considered a full dropper, despite the fact that it appears to be half to three quarters full. This is per the manufacturer. Team SGF
