Measuring Tiny Amounts Without Scales!

[@shamilaibrahim-nb5vf]

Great explanation of measuring tiny amount these days am struggling with this problem hats off to you sir🎉

[@ShovelChef]

It's so simple! I feel a little dumb that I never thought of it. 😅 Edit: I'm a chef, not a photographer. Sometimes I write recipes, and I wanna get really accurate on dry goods without a gram scale, so this method will definitely come in handy. Thanks again! 😄👍

[@malachite072]

How exactly tf did the video help

[@ShovelChef]

I'm gonna rewatch it and get back to you. But I'm pretty sure the answer is "use math."

[@ShovelChef]

Yeah, basically, if you need gram-scale accuracy for a recipe, and you know the "visual weight" of the stuff-- a teaspoon or whatever-- this is how you can split it accurately, distribute it across different batches of other-- omg I just realized more things that aren't photography. 😏

[@PictorialPlanet]

@malachite072 If you can only weigh to 1g accuracy but you need 0.25g or 0.1g you can use this method by dividing the 1g accordingly.

[@malachite072]

@@PictorialPlanet 1 gram of flour? I don't remember what you used in the video I was in a hurry. But using math doesn't explain how I am weighing the other product.

[@rbmwiv]

Thank you for sharing this. It is an easy way to measure small amounts.

[@PictorialPlanet]

Cheers!

Just bought Ltheanine powder for sleep. They say .2grams a serve. Thanks i guess ill be using this method.

[@laurab9518]

Doesn’t it also depend on the density of substance for what it will weigh?

[@redone2612]

Great tip and a great channel, looking forward to more videos.

[@PictorialPlanet]

Thanks!

Couldn't find list that video said could be found in the comments. Has it been removed maybe ???

[@RaviPrakashPandey-f2v]

I have 100gms of a medicine powder and needed to take 2-4gm out of that daily ... Now how do you suppose me to do that? ... By dividing it into 50gms then 25gms then 12.5 then 6.25 then 3.125 ...😅 I understand that method told by you might be only method to measure without a scale but dude बड़ा सोचो

[@AdvieAtkins]

are you serious?

[@malachite072]

Useless huh

[@TATPMuncher]

I thought it would be useful but its stupid​@@malachite072

[@aNiceRusslan]

Thanks am totally using to scale chemicals

[@SD_Alias]

Is funny that calibrated spoons are sometimes more expensive than small digital scales. Bought one scale for 20€ and it is very accurate. I checked it with some calibrated weights...

[@PictorialPlanet]

Lots of calibrated stuff going on here.

[@SD_Alias]

@@PictorialPlanet indeed😂. I want to change to self mixing my chemicals. So may be it is a good idea to get s little scale... But your method seems to be good too..

[@PictorialPlanet]

I normally use scales too but I show teaspoon measurements to help those who want self development to be as affordable as possible. Back when I started darkroom work in the 1960s many used cooking teaspoons for their measuring. It was and still is quite adequate. As I explain in my videos you don't need calibrated teaspoons/ tablespoons as long as you use the same ones each time. You will find your own developing times for your measurements. However, I applaud your buying scales! It will allow you to make much more.

[@SD_Alias]

@@PictorialPlanet I like your approach to do things the easy way. Unfortunately my son took all old spoons when he moved out and my wife forbid to steal the newer ones for my lab work. ;) These measuring spoons seems to be more common in the english speaking world. Here in Germany i found a better quality (not cheap plastic but metal) set of them for 25€ at amazon and a scale costs just 20€… It is crazy how cheap (and bad sometimes) electronic devices are nowadays…

[@pamelabrown3058]

Thank you 😊

[@lynnecollier4414]

Thank you! :)

[@robcanis]

Great tip! Your rolling text at the end says Feb 2020?

[@PictorialPlanet]

Good catch!! And thanks 🙏

[@dooglive922]

Welp, that's 2:17 of my life I can't get back

[@PictorialPlanet]

🤣

[@therealcann]

But how about milligrams ? I need to measure 1-3 milligram accurately..

[@mattia51296]

Half a gram is already 500mg, keep dividing and you'll eventually get to it

[@alanwakeup3344]

Genius

[@REPORODGE]

Not sure what’s easiest to do this or to leave a diss like oh yeh I do

[@PictorialPlanet]

Thanks Repo

[@SylentMilo]

I Thought A Quarter Teaspoon Is 1 gram

[@PictorialPlanet]

It's not that easy.

[@frankiegrove9988]

Depends on what there is 1/4tsp of

[@darrellong370]

I tried to find the list of things that had the breakdown for different medicines, ingredients etc and could not find that list spoke about that would be left in the comments

[@francevenezia]

According to The Calculator Site, 1 gram = .17 teaspoon. Which is less than 1/4 teaspoon, or .25 teaspoon.

[@Thechezbailey]

Teaspoons measure volume, grams measure weight. Some things will weigh a gram per teaspoon, others will not.

[@amielynn2657]

How to measure 1/5 teaspoon of powder?? Without the correct spoon.

[@PictorialPlanet]

Measure a teaspoon and split into 5 equal heaps.

[@amielynn2657]

@@PictorialPlanet Thank you! I hope I can get it pretty accurate I'm taking a supplement I've never taken before. I've been hunting for a 1/5 spoon and can't find one anywhere.

[@PictorialPlanet]

I don't provide advice on taking anything internally. Obtain the correct measurement from a pharmacy.

[@angelsaidferreira5193]

Do anybody know if 0.075 g is same as 750 mg? 🤔

[@rubberswan]

No. 0.075g is 75mg

[@BostilCensurado]

that looks like way too much to be just 1 gram for most things, its more like 10 grams
