The 39.9% part matters. If you add one gram, you're adding 399mg of K. 
If you had 100 gallons of water to fertilize, and you wanted to increase 
K by 5 mg/L, you would need 100 x 3.7854 x 5 = 1892.7mg of K. Since we 
know the fertilizer we're using is 39.9% K, we need 1892.7 / 0.399 = 
4743.61mg of fertilizer (4.5g is close enough).
