So there is a product I use that is good for mites and pm etc
The ingredients say

Citric acid 30%
Lactic acid 50%
Water 20%

So the idea is you dilute it 1.5-2.5ml per 10 litres

Working this out the 30% citric ends up at 0.75% being applied which falls In With other citric foilar spray dosages too if I am not mistaken

Question is I ordered lactic acid and citric acid and ro water
Coming to mix I have dosages of

125ml lactic
75ml citric
50ml water
Based on % and 250ml bottle volume

But citric acid needs to be dissolved in water prior to adding and I’d need to make sure 30% citric acid is added, I can’t do this without mixing more water than recipie needs as the citric is a powder ? So how can I do this while staying in calculation of dosage

If I add it alone it won’t dissolve will it ? It needs heating and am I sure about heating the lactic acid

You basically dilute it by roughly an average of 1:5000 with water. The (almost) pure acids. I'm not a chemist but you'd have to look up if the stated percentages is for weight or volume to be able to recreate that product. And also, if that's all that is contained within because oftentimes they only state what the regulations demand them to state.

It’s all in %ww for 250ml buddy my bad missing that
And I got it wrong
It’s 20% citric



Lactic acid is a liquid and citric powder the missing 20% I was informed will be ro water or distilled

Any idea what the shelf life of your finished product will be? The concentrate of what you are making really isn’t that expensive. You must need a lot of it.
