It's Microbiology.
It's telling how much of()is LIVING in the Nutrients. And we are talking about Microbes.
For example:
PBP (living) - UC-XXL X16
2.5 ml cal-mag
7.5 ml PBP Hydro Bloom
.6 ml Roots exel
Aquashield
superthrive
Protek to 5.4
CNS 17 (sterile) - UC-XXL X16
9ml CNS 17 Hydro bloom
1ml Zone
add .27
protek to 5.4
H&G (sterile) - UC-XXL X32
1.5 ml cal-mag
4 ml H&G A
4ml H&G B
1 ml zone
add .27
protek to 5.4
So basically, it's Microbe Multiplied by whatever number there is, devided By ONE individual Nutrient Value....
In short... It's worthless information..
