Maru Hoani 650 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Does anyone know the formula to forecast Manuka??? Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob 83 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Do you mean the formula to predict how your manuka honey will grow and change into the future? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Crowley 1,351 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 There are some around, but some work better on new honey but not if its been stored etc. DHA - 600 =? / 300 = ? + npa/umf = potential. but its not accurate just an idea. Nothing is perfect. There goes that science thing again. Link to post Share on other sites
Stoney 1,584 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Don’t you divide DHA with MGO or vice versa or something? My tests come with a forecast of growth .. currently awaiting this. How’s everyones numbers been this year? Been a heavy flowering down here.

It is just a guide and not accurate, there are other equations so dot take it as gospel. Edited January 24, 2020 by Dennis Crowley 2 Link to post Share on other sites
lexy 98 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 depends on storage temperature as well, at lower temp a higher percentage of DHA goes down the chemical pathway to MGO (but painfully slowly). at higher temperature the conversion happens faster but more DHA disappears down pathways into compounds other than MGO 1 Link to post Share on other sites
