So using the calc I need to dose mon/wed/fri/Sunday 1g of kno3 and 211mg of kh2p04
And tues/thurs/sat 757mg of trace
That's 4g of kno3 and 844mg of kh2po4 per week and 2.274g of trace per week.
30g planted, 90g Oscar tank
That sounds about right mate and you are welcome. I haven't been dosing micros lately as I have a soil substrate. I was waiting to see if I could spot and micro related deficiencies and then just bob some in there but well....I am still waiting.
The idea behind EI is so that you can provide non limiting nutrients and eradicate testing. Because we know that the powders do not cause algae or even harm to livestock (TDS will rise) all that happens is your plants grow healthier and make the system more robust. the 50% weekly water change resets nutrients. If you are unsure maybe do a bit more than 50%. You probably won't like what your tests kits tell you but why test when you know exactly have much you are putting in? There is nothing more accurate than that?
Good luck.
