Hi Guys

I’m using a HydroForce at 4:1
If it’s 2 oz to a gallon in a pump up would that be 8oz in the HydroForce?

TIA

All of them vary a bit and over time Dema valves clog, the tips get worn and the dilution changes a bit. The most accurate and easiest way to figure out your dilution is to do the 5 gallon bucket test.

Fill up your HF with water, then spray it into the bucket until the HF is empty. Then you know exactly how many gallons you are using. Then just take that and figure out your mixing rate per gallon. For example; you know your HF an go through 7 gallons and you mix 3 oz of prespray per RTU gallon. So you would put 21 oz into your HF.
