A gallon is too much for my home plants, can I use the same solution next week or should I make a fresh one every time?

You can store it and use it when ever yiou want. I store mine in a plastic jug that I can seal so it does not spill if bumped. I also label it for safety. I hope this answers your question .

I have never stored the solution, so I don't know. I mix up 1/2 batch or 1/4 batch depending on what plants need a dose. If I have a little left over, I just use the remainder on some outside flowering bush.

In my opinion, (college chemistry for two years) the solution is stable for a week and is fine. Just shake it and replace and evaporated water. Please feel free to correct me, anyone with more chemistry training.

I started off making a gallon, and have continued to do so with every "mother" produced by the last. I haven't had any problems so you should be fine.

You measure out 1 OZ. and add that to 1 Gallon of water, and then water your plants normally. However... I use this concentration every other week rather than every week.

Yeah it's two teaspoons per gallon or two dropper fulls worth comes out same. So I'd recommend a miracle grow outdoor plant food that has a platic mixer that hooks up to your hose, cheapest way to go for the long run if your doing a garden or outdoor house bushes. This is fine for one or two bushes to be fertilized one a month. But will go quick, great for house plants though, and you can try it once and see if you see results. Good Luck Hope I Helped

Indont see why not. I have a larger area to spray so mix up a gallon at a time, but a smaller batch would be no problem. The stuff works great,too.

The two gallon is huge. How many guest will there be? If you can plan on refilling them I think that would be better. You'd be up to your elbow to get the last third.

Just one gallon at a time. If u are using tap water, be sure to scrub out after every use. I catch rain water and use it to distill. It tastes better and isn't hard to clean after a use. I hope this was help full. Good luck :-)

Ben, I suppose you could, but really SuperThrive is designed to go to the roots, so a watering can with 1/4 tsp per gallon is the normal prescription. I have found that 1/2-1 gallon per medium sized plant (or even small tree) does dandy 2 or 3 times a season. I have had it take a tree to triple the size in one season! And, green up some rather puny looking bushes. I made the mistake of using it on some of my in-ground herbs and they have grown out of control! :D

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

I use 1 teaspoon per gallon, but you have to apply it at least 3 times, about a week apart each time. Orthene is a systemic, so eventually the plant has enough to fight off most infestations. To prevent future infestations, use 1 teaspoon per gallon applied twice, about a week apart each several times throughout the year.

It really depends on the temperature and how dry it is and how often you want to refill. In medium large pots in Austin, I use one per pot and refill once a week.

I use a smaller amount every two weeks. This is the first year I'm using this, but for now, the plants look good despite the strange bi-polar weather we've had.

My use is not less than 3.2 ounces per gallon from a towed tank sprayer and I agree with others that a little more can be used. Crabgrass appears to be very resistant to the mix though. Younger plants will start turning reddish in just over 7 days. Larger plants do not seem to notice it at all - back to selective use of round-up on them until a better crabgrass killer is found.

I premixed the solution if I plant on watering my plants. Like I take my water can which is 5 gallons and add 5 oz of liquid seaweed. Don't worry if you give your plant to much liquid seaweed on accident. Didn't seem to hurt my plants or make them grow any faster.

If you are going to spray all over your garden, gallon might be fine. It stays for about couple of months at a time. I have used in my house plants.Am going to spray in my garden now. Now, this oil is thick and you have to use a soap to emulsify it - I use the Trader Joe's dish washer that doesnt have harsh chemicals. 1 tsp of need oil per 20 oz sprayer. Be sure to mix with 1 tsp of TJ's Dish soap and rest water.Best of luck.

I had the same question when I got my bag, which wants you to use the whole thing at once. So I asked a farmer friend; he recommended half an ounce per gallon of compost. Hope this helps!

I would start off with 1/4 teaspoon per gallon; however, there are a multitude of other questions that need to answered. What is your ppm target? EC target? How often do you refill your reservoir? Is your water temperature optimum? Is your water temperature constant or does it fluctuate a lot? Remember you are adding salts, so don't over do it or over apply. When I was growing, I would add 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water and feed my plants approx. 1/2 gallon of the solution(along with other additives added to the solution) once a week. Ok to use with most greens I would imagine.
