Hi guys,
I have purchased a dosing pump and before I start using it, I want to do some tests for a couple of weeks to make sure the dosing amounts are correct first, using just water.
But I wanted to get started in this all in one solution so will need some help with quantities.
At present I dose:
KNO3 = 1.77 grams 3x a week
K2S04 = 0.8 grams 3x a week
KH2PO4 = 0.5 grams 3x a week
MgSO4 = 4.6 grams 3x a week
Trace from AE = 0.5 3x a week
The pump can dose 50ml in one minute which is my plan, if I were to mix this into 2 liters of water and dose 50ml per day, how would I work out the quantities I need of each for the 2 liter mixture??
Also I know I need E300 Ascorbic Acid and E202 Potassium Sorbate, how much would I need of these two aswell??
I also plan to place an air stone at the bottom of the bottle and 5 minutes before dosing I will run it for 2 minutes to mix the contents properly before dosing.
Other question is could I mix EasyCarbo in this solution? I dose at present 5ml per day or 10 ml every couple of days. If so what quantity would I need?

My calculations for EI are made using NutriCalc which you Windows users can download here: http://www.cherniaksoftware.com/homepag ... riCalc.exe
In my final solution I added an extra 20% on top of what is recommended by NutriCalc. This was suggested to me by Matt Holbrook-Bull when I first joined the forum and works a treat for me.

Many thanks
