I'm too lazy to look - do you remember the formula off the top of your head?

1 tablespoon per 500 ML of water. I can show you tonight.

Use pipette or syringe to soak and not over soak so we don't waste nutrients, right?

I think I am oversoaking because I don't care as much about the nutrients during a temporary treatment. To answer your question though yes I am using a large plastic syringe.
