Roshan's Ridiculously Relatable Radical Ratio Method!

guys this was probably the most fun I had making a video and I'm glad you guys all enjoyed it :)

Thanks for the support!

Great video, but I have a question. If something dilutes 1:20, does that make 21 gallons?

1 part active + 20 parts water would be 21 gallons right?

It was mentioned in another post, 1:20 is typically 1 ounce : 20 ounces which would give you 21 ounces. But if your intention is to make 21 gallons of a given solution then you would be correct.
 
Great video. I like your reply to the first comment to your video. Bet that fellow watched the whole video and took what you had to say and then used it.
 
Did you ever wonder if diluting a product in a larger amount (like a gallon), then sitting on a shelf in an almost clear bottle (distilled water jug) could affect the performance of the diluted product after a certain time? I know a lot of times bottles are made to protect the product from light. That's what keeps me from diluting large quantities before hand.

Keep it in a dark place?

I wouldn't be surprised. I learned when I started that thick skin is definitely needed on the internet and even more so on youtube. But even when someone is attacking me, I still try to treat them with respect :)

I understand that and get it but try not to make things too complicated. Most of my gallons of RTU products are gone within a month. As long as they keep doing their job (which they are), I'm not too worried.

To answer your question, yes I think that does happen after a certain amount of time. However, if you look at the bottles for the APC and the Ultima, they are both somewhat clear AND both products are already composed of water for the most part.

If you get time, maybe you could do a test on a gallon stock of RTU vs fresh RTU and see if it makes a difference performance wise. I do like your tests :)

Isnt your method just a complicated way of saying it with only one R?
Rounding.

All you did was round the measurement. lol. Great video man.

Don't know how I missed this but you're absolutely correct. There's nothing special about this "method"... If you can even call it that. The only thing that IMO is different than what most do is the tip to take out a little water and replace with the chemical saving some time mixing a big batch of ready to use solution.

Thanks for watching!
 
Love this. I'm quickly becoming a fan of Roshans videos!
 
Roshan, Thanks for the video. Very helpful indeed! I'm going to use this tonight when I mix up some ONR for my chemical sprayer. I notice when i'm at a job that most the time its just a quick mix or "eyeball" which is just a waste of money and product. Thanks again.
 
when companies state 1:10

does it mean 1:10 = 1+9 to give you the 10 parts?

or does it mean 1oz of active product, and 10oz of water ? to give you a total of 11oz when combined?


> I have been using this calculator Enviro-One Dilution Calculator but i am not sure if it is correct...

because if your making a gallon of a product and using 128oz water and adding 1oz of product the total should be 129oz
where as this dilution calculator is subtracting from the 1 gallon

Or in the case of Ultima Watereless wash 1/2 oz per 22 oz. , you add 22oz of water and than .5 of concentrate making 22.5oz your final number

Roshan, Keep the videos coming buddy. If your having fun with it so are we. Becoming a bigger fan every time you post a new video, good job..
I guess I have been using the RRRRR method all along and like most have stated, just did not know it.

Keep up the good work, can't wait for next one.

Nice video, keeping things simple.

We actually do this on a much larger scale with the feed for our cows. Cows are fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration). This has everything needed in it for them to produce milk efficiently and stay healthy. Cows are creatures of habit and do not like variation in their food, unlike humans who do. When you change a cows diet drastically they get "stressed". "Stress" happens anytime you change their environment slightly. "Stress" is noticed due to reduced milk production for that day. Why are they so sensitive? I don't know, maybe its their small brain size.

Due to prices of some commodities we feed a lot of byproducts. Just like baking a cake you need a little of this, a little of that and a lot of other things. With the little things its very easy to add too much as it is loaded by machine. To prevent these mixup's, which are costly in both feed loss and milk loss, we will do a premix much like what Roshan showed with products. It works well.


Sorry for the somewhat OT post, just reminded me of that.
