You could, but I wouldn't stress too much about it. If by chance too much of one ingredient is added one can always add more water to dilute the compost tea before using. IMO, better to err on the side of not using as much as recommended, one can always spray more often if results are not as expected. Another thing I always keep in mind is that when using organic gardening techniques, more is not always better. We deal with what is called the "powerful little", in that a small application can bring about big results. We can always add more, but it can be very tricky to remove something once applied (especially when foliar spraying)... Blutranes
