Ei Schedule

[dasmall1]

The dosing schedule in the pinned article is as follows, just so you don't have to flip windows:

Day 1 - 50% water change, dose KNO3 to bring your level up to 10ppm, dose KH2PO4 to bring the level up to between 1-2ppm.
Day 2 - dose 5ml trace and add Fe if you are dosing iron.
Day 3 - top up both KNO3 and PO4.
Day 4 - dose 5ml trace.
Day 5 - top up KNO3 and PO4.
Day 6 - dose 5ml trace.
Day 7 - start again and reset the tank, 50% water change etc.

Every 7th day, you repeat the schedule. This would continually change what day of the week you do your water change. Is there another way to dose that you could repeat the schedule on day 8 and always do the water change the same day? And, for the top ups, do you add the entire suggested amount of each chemical, or just a little more? I'll have to estimate about how much the plants use in the two day period, right? What is your EI dosing schedule?

Thanks!

There's a typo there, well spotted!

I'll edit it soon. The link at the bottom of the thread is good.
