Question for those who dose EI:
I'm currently dosing
1g kno3 and 0.2 grams of khpo4, 4 days a week
And 0.77 grams of trace mix 3 days a weak.
I'd say I currently have medium light. (Lights running on 60% strength)
I'm considering bumping my lighting back up to 80% as my pink baby tears Are turning green because of the lack of light and I have another pinkie/red plant that I really want to make nice and bright.
So my question is am I dosing enough per week to be able to crank the light into the high light category?
Growth rate is pretty solid on my stems but I really want those bright colours!

Hi Bert.
The EI baseline values were coined by using light intensities up to 6wpg and unlimited co2. I know Wpg is an almost redundant measure now but that is still pretty intense lighting that not many of us will have.
After that, the number and type of plants will dictate whether you need more or less nutrients. Carry on dosing as per the index and observe for any deficiencies. I could be wrong but I doubt you will run in to any.
