The FeedMe fertilizer you purchased is simply Greencare MSU fertilizer - the original - that has been repackaged and relabeled (and repriced exorbitantly, with excessive shipping costs added). It is blended from individual ingredients that are purchased as needed, from different sources, as the market dictates. Sometimes all of the ingredients are quite uniform in size and shape, and sometimes, if the pricing varies, the blend can be quite
heterogeneous
(Edited due to now being awake enough - thanks ES). It was really bad when they first started making it, and it still varies a bit, but has become much better over time.
Because of the heterogeneity you noticed, 1 teaspoon of the dry material can be chemically different than another 1 teaspoon taken from the same batch. That’s one reason I recommend people make their own liquid concentrates - larger “samplings” of the powder will be closer to identical in chemistry, making the concentrates closer from batch to batch (and easier to dispense).
Your TDS meter is waaaaayy off! For a 100 ppm N solution (a reasonable concentration for weekly feeding), that particular fertilizer formula requires 0.74g of powder per liter, which is a true TDS of 740 ppm. At the 1 tsp/gal you mixed, the true TDS is around 1500 ppm, not 50.
Don’t worry about the pH of the fertilizer solution, as it plays very little role in the (important) rhizosphere pH. The plant and microbes present control that far more than most realize. If you want to prove that for yourself, follow the “pour through” test described in
