To make experiment go faster, you could also try diluting just one drop of hypertonic with 9 or 99 drops of water. Just like in these videos:
(...)
In this way you can quickly make bigger dilutions.
Hi Persej, I just wanted to let you know that our little homeopathic experiment will commence tomorrow morning. Life got a tad hectic on my end and I didn't want to risk any negative reactions, comparable to how I responded to hypertonic. Things have calmed down now so I can be more adventurous.
Another tip: the choice of spring water: a water which dry residu is less than 60mEq (the less it is, the purest)
Hey nature, I bought three different brands of spring water and none of the bottles mentions the value of 60mEq or any other. They just have the residue amounts for calcium, magnesium, etc. Do I just add them up? But the amounts of dissolved solids are indicated in mg/l rather than mEq. Can you confirm what the number 60mEq refers to?
