Default Hot Rod Fertilizer Injector.

What I have is an old Miracle Grow hose end Liqua Feed fertilizer sprayer.
What I have done since it was stopped up i have taken it apart and cleaned it.
While it was apart I bored the orifice/jet out to .040 of an inch.
These Liqua feed Bottles you can take the cap off and refill them.
What my intentions are is to use organic water soluble fertilizer in it.
So far with my orifice it takes 1 minute and 46 seconds to empty the one pint bottle.
The device puts out 1 gallon in about 15 seconds.
They modernized my meter so I cant go to the thing and read it as I am doing this I called and it will be awhile before I can go on line and look at my meter.
What a drag.

What I am trying to do is figure out the mix ratio I need to put in the bottle.
I am about there.

I hate math.
