So I made my own lime sulfur (pretty cool right?!) from limestone and garden sulfur (90%) and there wasn't really a good way to measure its concentration without spending too much money for my liking, so I'm left with this solution of lime sulfur that is, I believe, super saturated, at least with the sulfur. After making the solution I let it cool overnight and the next morning I woke up and found that the bottom had about 1-2 inches of what I believed to be elemental sulfur. I strained the solution and seperated the crystals from the final solution, and so now I have a solution with less sulfur in it as far as I can tell because the crystals that are now growing are growing much slower and are almost unnoticeable. Now the question is, how much should I dilute it?? There seems to be no way to tell how much of my solution is actual lime sulfur, or if there is still un-reacted sulfur in it or not. I just don't know lol! Any perspective is welcomed!
This is the finished solution:

What it looked like the morning after and this was after just pouring off the majority of the actual red lime sulfur solution:
The crystals the morning after making it, just for your enjoyment (they're kinda really cool!:
What the limestone was before making it into lime by heating it (I collected the limestone from nature and then crushed it):
