THE CROPSALT STOCK TANK CALCULATOR

Weigh out your stock tanks.

Work out how many gallons of stock you need, then get the weight of each CropSalt product for a 1:128 injector, in grams and pounds.

STEP 1 · HOW MUCH STOCK?

How many gallons of stock do you need?

Enter the feed water you need to cover. At 1:128, each gallon of stock makes 128 gallons of feed water.

Make 8 US gallons of stock in each tank.

Rounded up to a whole gallon. Covers 1,024 US gallons of feed water.
STEP 2 · WEIGH IT OUT

How much stock are you making?

Each product gets its own tank. Never mix A and B in the same container.

Weights for 5 US gallons of finished stock in each tank. Each tank feeds 640 US gallons of water at 1:128.

MIXING STEPS

Mix each tank separately.

  1. Use separate containers. One for A, one for B. Keep A and B apart at every step.
  2. Start with 70% water. Fill each container about 70% full with water.
  3. Add the weighed product. Part A into the A tank, Part B into the B tank. Mix each well.
  4. Fill to the final volume. Top up with water to the finished volume, mix well and let the powder fully dissolve. Salt + water = total volume.
  5. Set both injectors to 1:128. That’s 0.8%, or 30 mL of each concentrate per gallon of water. To raise or lower EC, adjust both injectors equally.
  6. Finish with Cake. During the Cake finish, run Cake through one injector and turn the other off.

When to switch tanks

Run Veg A + B from clone through day 21 of flower, then Bloom A + B from day 22. On a 9-week flower, run Cake alone for the final 2 weeks; on longer cycles, the final 2.5 weeks.

What it should read

A + B together at 30 mL per gallon each read about EC 2.1–2.5 (1050–1250 ppm, 500 scale). Tap or well water may read higher.
