I bought powdered Hops, FG & Oatstraw from Starwest Botanicals. All are in 1 lb. packages. I have no idea what their strenghts are per tsp. so I hesitate to use them. In one of your earlier threads you said to buy a scale & measure the herbs out. How would this tell me how many milligrams are in 1 tsp.? I asked Eve M since she took powdered Hops & she said 1 tsp. = 300 mg. But someone else on this forum said 1 tsp. = 1200 mg. I'm very confused.
Thanks for shedding any light on this question.
I honestly don't want to sound patronising, but you simply take a tsp and put one spoonful of hops, or FG, or oats, on the scales and see how much it weighs.
Without knowing which posts from others you are talking about, I can't be certain what they are talking about, but one spoon of hops will weigh a different amount to, say, one spoonful of FG...and even for each individual product it may depend to some extent on how finely it is powdered.
However I don't personally think you need to worry too much about precise weights of any of this stuff.
