Hi, if I understand you correctly, you’re asking how much nutrients to use for your DWC setup. You don’t just mix for one gallon you always scale it to your full reservoir. So if your feeding chart says “X ml per gallon,” you simply multiply that by the total number of gallons in your system. For example: if it’s 5 ml per gallon and you have a 10-gallon reservoir, you add 50 ml total. The key is that your entire reservoir has the correct concentration, not just a portion of it. Also very important in DWC: make sure your solution is constantly moving and well oxygenated. Air stones or small circulation pumps work great for that and keep your roots healthy. Hope that helps 😊

It depends on whether those gallons you already have in the tank have already had nutrients added, if they are already there then you will just have to calculate based on what you want to add

If your doing a fresh res change and for example it's 20L and your products say 1ml/L then you use 20ml of said product. If your res needs topping up and you are putting 2L in then it would be 2ml of said product. But its all down to what the plant wants, if your res Ec levels aren't going down then your plants not using the available nutrition and doesn't need anymore.

Salut ! C'est une excellente question pour Ă©viter les erreurs de dosage. La rĂšgle est simple : ​La rĂšgle du volume total ​Tu dois prĂ©parer ta solution en fonction du volume total d'eau prĂ©sent dans ton rĂ©servoir, et non pour un seul gallon. ​Exemple : Si ton rĂ©servoir contient 5 gallons d'eau et que ton schĂ©ma de culture indique 5 ml de nutriments par gallon, tu devras verser un total de 25 ml (5 text{ gallons} times 5 text{ ml}) dans le rĂ©servoir. Quels conseils pour ne pas se tromper : ​L'ordre de mĂ©lange : Ajoute toujours tes nutriments un par un dans l'eau. Ne mĂ©lange jamais les concentrĂ©s ensemble pur, car ils pourraient "se bloquer" (prĂ©cipitation chimique) et devenir inutilisables par la plante. ​Mesure le pH aprĂšs : Une fois que tous tes nutriments sont mĂ©langĂ©s pour le volume total, attend quelques minutes, puis ajuste ton pH. En hydroponie, sur Ă©tau gĂ©nĂ©ralement entre 5.5 et 6.5. ​Laisse de l'espace : En DWC, ne remplis pas ton eau Ă  ras bord. Laisse toujours un espace d'air de 2 Ă  5 cm entre le bas du panier (net pot) et le niveau de l'eau pour que les racines puissent respirer. ​Calcule tes doses pour la quantitĂ© totale d'eau que tu as mise dans ton systĂšme. Si tu as 10 gallons, tu multiplies la dose unitaire par 10. ​Bonne prĂ©paration ! j'espĂšre que cela t'auras aidĂ©. bonne journĂ©e

Are you topping off or filling? If filling entire rez, then you add enough nutes for the entire rez. If topping off a rez that already contains nutrients, only what you are adding. You can top off, but make sure to do a full drain/refill occasionally. You'll have to learn how often. what works for 2-3 weeks may not work for 4 months. Everything you do from day one in regard to fertilizer matters day 30 or day 90. Everything adds up over time in a cumulative way. plants can selectively grab nutrients. so, that can cause a shift in balance of nutrients in your buckets/reservoir. This is why you'll need some sort of regular drain and refill maintenance. I don't do dwc, so i can't give you that type of detail, but it's true nonetheless. Wether it's every 10 days or 14 or longer, you'll have to find someone with that experience.
