hey everyone you're here with mark bauer at perfectgardens.com so brett asked a great question
today i have a five gallon bucket with air stones for watering my indoor plants will this product
evaporate or act funny sitting in a container i never closed the lid and basically he's just
wondering what happens he's also wondering if he got a 32 ounce bottle how far would it go so
in this video we're going to get into it are you tired of getting crappy advice from your
local hydroponics store or having to search all over forums to get advice that only takes you in
different directions than solving your immediate problem well join our membership for fifty dollars
a month you get direct access to me we'll connect on whatsapp app and just like this gentlemen that
started back in july with us as problems arise we are here for you okay so right before we get into
these questions i want to just come to the website real fast and i highly recommend go over to the
safeties and testings page right here scroll down from the top and click on a few of these buttons
pdfs will pop up showing you actually showing you the lab analysis of these different chemicals
chemical compounds that were in the water and that over a course of 24 to 48 hours all
these chemicals had massive reductions to almost completely being eliminated so as you could see
here this is their concentrated amount of these types of chemicals right here and then over a
course of 24 to 48 hours using a 0.2 micron filter so very very basic filter they had an over a 79
reduction tests all the way up to 96 reduction tests and so on so on you go to these other ones
you're going to have more testing of more chemicals scroll down to these other ones
same thing more chemicals more that have that are proving the chemical reduction test and
the so the chloramine the hexamine and chlorine i believe this one is the erin brockovich right so
the erin brockovich movie where they sued pg e for the chromium uh leaching into the ground
water and i believe it was chromium three and chromium six is natural and so what happened and
i could have that was reversed as well and so what ended up happening is they went over and these
pg e is marketing to all these people that the chromium that was being released through the
production of power was the naturally occurring chromium that was good for your body so they were
telling all the people that this chromium was good but was actually what was happening it was
causing cancer and birth defects and obviously all the other symptoms side effects of poisoning
so it's very interesting so go through check out the safety and testing next i
would highly recommend is checking out the frequently asked questions
they have a lot of well answered questions here that i think if you are going to incorporate this
product that i have also incorporated into my life over the last 10 years i have tons of questions
that even far past this uh q a that could answer so let's go back over to the home page i also
recommend checking out the six part video we have on the youtube channel that goes over the mineral
book so you don't have to spend 15 buck bucks just save the money go check out the six part video
series and they actually you can listen to all the benefits of minerals for plants and animals and
and your human body okay so let's go ahead and pull up this little graph that i pulled up in
the meantime i'm going to play this video in the background and i want you guys to kind of just see
what happens to molecules as is the cold to the hot so i'm going to just play while i'm talking
about this so i'm going to hit play just pay attention to the molecules right so in cold water
as it comes through and as you can see as the water heats up molecules speed up so just kind
of have that in reference i'll reference back to that a little bit okay so let's go ahead and
see how far do each of these bottles go so for drinking water and this is always per gallon
if you are messing with tap water so the tap water or well water and you want to clean your water and
re-mineralize your water the two ounce bottle will clean and re-mineralize 15 gallons of water okay
so the eight ounce bottle will clean and mineralize 60 gallons the 16 ounce will do 120 and
32 ounces will do a 240 gallons if you're using ro water for drinking water you will add in two mls
per gallon so over here for tap water you're using four to five and four to five because you might be
living in the city dealing with extremely recycled water and in that case you're probably going to
want to put 5 mls if you're living in a rural area you're just going to kind of want to know area if
you think your area is a lot dirtier water or just recycled water you might want to go 5 but for the
most part 4 mils will be sufficient and five mls is equal to one teaspoon right over here it's two
mls because you don't have to clean your water anymore all you're doing at this point is adding
minerals to water so for the two ounce bottle it's actually good for 30 gallons the 8 oz bottle is
good for 120 the 16 ounce bottle will be good for 240 gallons and the 32 ounce bottle would be good
for 480 gallons okay so for your plant if you're dealing with tap water what you're going to be
doing is once again cleaning and re-mineralizing your tap water but for plants you're going to be
using a lot less than what you'd be using for drinking water you'd be using 1 ml per gallon
so the 2 ounce is actually good for 60 gallons the 8 ounce is good for 240 gallons the 16 ounce
is good for 480 gallons the 32 ounce is good for 880 gallons if you're using aura water and you're
once again just treating your aura water uh you might just need to use 0.5 to 1 ml per gallon
and at that point if you're using 0.5 the 2 ounce is good for 120 gallons 480 gallons for an eight
ounce 16 ounce is good for 880 gallons and the 32 ounces good for 1760 gallons anyone that needs to
do more than a thousand gallons go ahead and email me at adam perfectgardens.com and we can
talk about special pricing for larger sizes and we could just talk about how much water you're using
through your grows on a yearly basis and just talk about larger quantity so next question was will it
evaporate away no dust balance will not evaporate away what's really cool about drops of balance is
that once you add it into your water the minerals will keep your water clean indefinitely
or until the minerals are used up and the only way the minerals are used up is if more toxins
or other man-made chemicals are reintroduced back into the water so people that are survivalists or
interested in prepping this would be also a great product for you because a lot of people what they
do is they go and try to get large water storage container and then just store a large amount of
water really so you can make your life easier just be close to a water source and then have enough
minerals there so that you can clean that water source so there's two ways of prepping different
ways of doing it for me what i always like to do is have a ro system set up on a float valve going
into a 50 gallon reservoir bare minimum or tap water going in on a float valve on a 50 gallon
reservoir bare minimum it could be a brute trash can whatever it is i normally like to have that
water outside of the grow room so that the water is not getting warm warm water carries less oxygen
i think that's just a huge component to water and water staying healthy next i normally like
to treat my water because of how drops of balance work is it's not like a fertilizer where the wrong
type of algae will grow the algae actually that will grow in the mineral water is blue-green algae
and blue-green algae is extremely healthy algae and believe it or not blue unit algae actually
increases the oxygen carrying capability in the water because it's releasing the oxygen into the
water through photosynthesis so i know once i add the minerals into my main reservoir the water will
stay clean and mineralized until i use that water for later it is 100 okay to use drops of balance
to treat your water before watering or fertilizing every single time i have talked about the law of
minimum and the law of tolerance quite often and if you want your fertilizer to be better you're
going to add in the trace minerals why is because just like how i talked to you about the before
light bulbs bought a barrel right to make these other minerals available it's not the maximum
amount of minerals but it's the minimum mineral that's the wedge on the barrel right the minimum
mineral available in the system that is holding back the water or the barrel from being able to
fill up and if you increase your trace minerals it's going to make the availability for all your
other fertilizer available and i've also shown you that video about the bodybuilders right the
bodybuilders take a lot of steroids and because these steroids are basically salts and different
types of man-made chemicals when they go into your body over time they accumulate in your liver
your kidneys throughout your entire body and so over time your blood coagulates because you
have a ph imbalance you have malnourishment you have other issues and so when you see that video
of the bodybuilders taking their blood under a light blood microscope because of the negative
ionic charge of the minerals the blood's able to flow freely and i'd always like to show people
right when all the blood is collaguated you reference that as nutrient lockout and then
when the fertilizer is flowing and dissolved in the water and the plants are taking it up that's
like having a negative ionic charge although drops balance isn't the end all be all product i
talk a lot about microbiology and i talk about the importance of establishing a healthy beneficial
bacterias in your system and it's not also not just about adding in these beneficial
bacterias and fungi into your water system or hydroponic system or whatever you have to rebuild
some level of a structure within your grow system normally within only three months because a lot
of you guys if you're going hydroponically you're flipping your media every single time or rewashing
it so every single time you disturb your media you completely destroyed all the work that those fungi
and bacteria built to establish a colony so you're kind of restarting every single time and like how
i've shown to you before in other videos through the brochure with the drops of balance you have
four main components for re-establishing your beneficial bacteria and fungi and creating a
living biology in your system you have your plant release sugars and through exodites that
communicate to the fungi to go and retrieve specific minerals but those minerals are not
available until the bacteria produces co-enzymes that make those mineral bile available then
those fungi go and retrieve those minerals and bring them back to the plant so without having
these very basic components of minerals beneficial bacterias fungi and sugars a living system is very
difficult to get established actually the next part is actually having a decent ph as well which
is also important with drops of balance your water has to be under 7.0 ph if it's above 7.0 that will
neutralize drops balance and it will no longer work the main thing that drops a balance really
does is it immediately creates an environment for beneficial fungi and bacteria to take hold
that's really what drops balance does that's the main thing and that's really what is the main
issue with our soil systems and really anything out there nowadays is because we have such a high
amount of man-made chemicals and fertilizers and phosphorus and all these other issues that
we have been laying on our soils for so long that everything is dormant it destroys worms worms
don't want to be in the environment beneficial bacteria and fungi don't want to be in the
environment because we're putting in one thing or other it creates a bacterial dominant environment
it creates a fungi dominant environment and before you know it everything starts going haywire and
our entire micro biology systems begins to shut down i highly recommend people to check out
teaming with microbes it's one of the best books i love re-listening to this book normally at least
once a year it's one of my favorite books it just re-connects me another great book is silent spring
oh my goodness guys it was a book written in the 60s or 70s my father told me to read it
about 10 years ago and it really impacted me not just behind our complete blatant
disregard for human health although what really astonished me was the level of impact down to
the parts per billion level that chemicals and how chemicals can affect our dna and continue to keep
affecting generations two three generations down the road this is where i've also come to really
realize how much water and our own souls kind of can remember chemicals another book is the hidden
messages in water once again these three books guys i'm telling you man you have got to check
these three books out also the one that's on our youtube channel already these four books will 100
change your life on how you look at water minerals the power of minerals and the role
and then you also will really you'll look at the microbiology within our gut you'll
look at the microbiology on the living soil and you'll really start to take a huge appreciation
to how these things work a lot of people don't know that the fungi actually release acids and
why is that significant is that every day where if you're running the hydro system you are adjusting
the ph of your water a lot of times up and down messing with it oh god i have 5.8 i have 5.8
you know searching for that ideal ph range and the truth is is the ideal p-rate range is constantly
changing throughout the day and the night the plant and the all the biology of the soil they
all want to work together constantly and it's us that goes in there and screws it up so my point to
this guys is just remember drops of balance does an important function it cleans the environment
and it re-mineralizes the environment i hate to call it even the food but it gives the minerals
the specific types of minerals that microbiology needs and lives and thrives on because of really
cation exchanges and i don't want to go too deep into the science if you want me to go deep into
the science we can talk about it on an individual i just don't think it's absolutely necessary but
just understand that these ion exchanges these positive and negatives right these magnetic
spheres that are around our body around the earth around every single living organism and being out
there and i'm telling you every trees everything is living out there if you don't believe me go
take some analysis or a heavy trip of acid or mushrooms and i'm telling you you can see
the vibrations of everything out there and you'll realize that everything is constant living there's
a magnetic field that is constantly pulling in energy and pushing away energy so just to reel
it back in and wrap this up remember that if you are going to use this product you are going to
want to reduce the parts per million of everything else that you are using especially if you're using
fertilizer companies their natural parts per million are going up to two thousand twenty
five hundred three thousand parts per million if you use drops of balance in conjunction with
a full regimen feed of these other nutrient lines you will most likely kill your plants okay drops
of melons will make these fertilizers as close to 100 percent available versus what it is now
not really available they have to put in 3 000 parts per million to force the plant to
take it up remember that that 3000 parts per million is way too high because it's a salt
compound not a mineral compound so when you add in the drops of balance it's going to make
all these salts readily available and you can over mineralize and stunt your plants because
of all this cation electrical charge experience so make sure to reduce your fertilizer so once again
our water tap water add in the drops of balance agitate the water for a little bit let us settle
then add in your fertilizer i'd probably recommend it cut it in half maybe even a little bit more
give it to your plant and then wait a day or two or go through your regular nutrient feed cycle or
schedule and then slowly watch your plants and the second you start to see a little bit of tip burn
back it off because you know the plants can't take up any more than that and that's how you start to
really fine-tune your feed schedules and is one of the best ways to maximize
the whole fertilizer input direction because there's multiple things you have to do right
create a grow a healthy grow environment that's a huge component of it another component of it is
the watering another component is the food right so there's different components the one of the
best ways to really maximize your feed schedule is to watch the leaves don't burn your plants
because remember the leaves are photosynthesis but if you really do want to push it you're
always looking for just a touch of tip burn in my opinion okay thank you so much i hope this
