I have a 1/2 gallon, solid white milk carton I store my solution in. I mix in a 1 quart jar ( and old plastic coconut oil jar ) i sue as a shaker. I put in 22 tablespoons of MC to a bit less than a quart of water ( need room for it to shake ) I shake the hell out of it and use a funnel and pour it into my jug. them make another batch. I top up the jug with water, ;leaving a little rim to shake it to mix, as at this strength, some nutrient settles out to the bottom. After a few feedings the ppms settle into a level you can predict. My current batch gives me about 420 ppms for 2 Tbsp. Another 1/2 Tbsp gets me to about 500 ppms. I don't swaet it being exact, I usually hit 520-550. With this solution, the nutrients are pretty evenly blended.
Normally I make small batches of concentrate with 25g of MC and 250mL of warm water. It was very handy when dealing with smaller pots that I’m making up various strength feeds for, and better blended as you mention.
with these 3 pots I’m making up 4 - 5 gallons at a time which I think would result in not as inconsistent of nutrient balance.
