I am about to order the dry ferts pack (green leaf) and am reading the instructions for PPS Pro. Several Qs.....
I am surprised that there seems to be a 'one size fits all' recipe for mixing the dry ferts with water. I expected there to be some calculation based on how much light you have and how many plants you have? (I recall someone saying there's some math to figure out initially.....) I only have 2.3wpg with a tank 24" high and not that many plants yet so am wondering if I need less than the standard amounts?
I do see people talking about tweaking the amounts. Do you do that based on testing? Or looking at the plants? I thought there was no testing with PPS Pro but if you just look at the plants hard to know (esp if a noob) what is wrong......
The instructions say fill 2 the 500ml bottles. But then what if you have filled those bottles and you need to tweak things? Do you just add to that bottle? Or do you start with something smaller until you know it's the right mix?
Thanks.....a bit confused.....appreciate help.
