How deep do you need to insert probes? I'll have small samples of popcorn testing for moisture content; about the of a small Cambels soup can.

About 3-4 inches is all you need but you'll want to try to get the middle of your sample if possible

Most thermometers and thermocouples have an immersion depth that should be used. Rule of thumb is 7-10 times the sheath diameter (probe diameter). This is due to losing heat to surrounding through conduction.

I followed the directions and put 1/3 cup of corn into it. I also put a tad of oil. It popped perfectly on high in about 2 minutes. You may have purchased old popcorn. Kernels which are stale don't have enough moisture content to pop. Also, if you put too much corn into it the heat can't work properly to explode the kernels. Just like adding too much pasta to too little boiling water.

Absolutely, I don't know how large your popper is so I can't recommend an exact amount, but I put a little bit inside of my popper with the oil and kernels, and then also sprinkle a little on after the corn is popped. Comes out perfect and taste like movie theater popcorn.

You use the measuring spoons included. Two tablespoons of oil and 1/4 cup of popcorn. If your off a little bit it won't matter. Make sure the popper has warmed up before you add(5 minutes) but turn it off when you add the oil and popcorn.

Sorry to say, but anything smaller than a popcorn seed would go thru the screen. I used it to dry popcorn that we grew and some of it fell thru.

pour granules into a push spreader if the area is large. if area is small i would fill a plastic cup a sprinkle all over just like you would grass seed.

Hi Jared, The probe tip is about 5 1/2" from the bottom or 4.25 gal worth of liquid. Hope this helps.Barley & Vine

You: "bought a bag of popcorn at walmart, put it in the bowl"??? Well, how big was the bag? Did you OPEN the bag? You have to use a MEASURED amount. ...and; "popcorn was hard"??? Coming from Walmart, maybe it was OLD, Chinese Pop corn, better give it to the ducks.

1 soak probes in water for 30 minutes along with cables. If u use warm water it will be easier to straighten the cables 2 fill each probe with water, close off, keep aside 3 find containers with desired capacity, I used empty milk gallons. Fill them with water and place close to plant. Place water container at the same height or lower than plant 4. Water the plant for first time use, the probes work best if the soil is moistened first, this won't be necessary once the probes start working. 5. Push the probe in soil and drop the end of cable in water container. Try to keep cable submerged by tieing some weigh at the end 6. Keep the container and probe full by checking after every few days. Once I was confident my set up worked fine ( water was reducing day over day and soil was moist) I could leave them unattended for a week or 10 days. 7 if you forget to check and water container as well as probe is dried, fill the probe again and water the plan before restarting your setup

You only use 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. 1/3 to 2/3 cup of Popcorn Kernels, only 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Enjoy!!!

Instructions include measurements for popcorn and oil. I like O. Redenbacher. I had lots of microwave on hand and tried it. Didn't work.Burned and didn't pop.

Depends on how deep u need. I did 3 test spot where u can't see it. 1st spot just the blk u received, 2nd mix sm sample in the blk, 3rd mix more or a different color let all 3 samples dry for a couple of hours then wax. I just used toothpicks to do testing.

I'm using popcorn that comes in quart jar. Easy to use, just measure into the little cup they provided and it's enough for us two old folks. I'm wondering if I can use butter in place of the liquid oil ??

Sorry to say, I cannot help you. Try a little in a inconspicuous spot on the bottom of the pot, for a test.

i'm sure you can, just use a very small amount. the measurement that we use is 1 tblsp (we have the popcorn machine that's like those in a movie theatre) and there are times when it's too much. since you have a counter top popcorn popper, i'd only use about 1/4 tsp to start out with, then go from there. good luck...

Ms Sonja, The Luster Leaf 1880 Rapitest meter has probes measuring 3¼". Personally, I would prefer a longer set of probes, it is difficult to measure values at depth greater than 3¼". But don't despair, in most cases one can root down (pun intended) into the root region and pull up a better measurement.Given the price and its accuracy, this tool is a must for most growers and your plants will love the extra attention, perhaps they will "grow like weeds."Happy Gardening and keep on growing, Michael & the Crew @ Synergy Aquaponics
