EI method and flourish comprehensive

[Posiden]

i want to use flourish trace and comprehensive for my ten gallon for the trace elements, along with the Ei method.... for the trace elements it says +/- 1/32 tsp (2ml) Trace Elements 3x a week, which i really dont understand...how is 1/32 tsp equivalent to 2 ml....should i just put what is recomended on the bottle...which is

flourish trace - 5 ml for every 80 gallon twice a week.... so for a ten gallon 1/8 tsp twice a week

flourish comprehensive plant supplament- 1/6 tsp once a week

thanks!

i use a syringe when dosing flourish comprehensive - about 1 ml per 20 gallons. i don't think it would harm your plants to dose 1 ml weekly. if you don't have a syringe, you can use a medicine dropper with ml calibration.

if you are using the ei method, you don't need to use CSM+B with Flourish Comprehensive.

im not using csm+b....im just asking if i should follow the recommended amount on the bottle or +/- 1/32 tsp (2ml) Trace Elements 3x a week

IMO - if you are dosing 3 times a week, apply 1 ml instead of 2 ml for a 10 gallon tank.

are you using tap water?

tap water has micro nutrients in addition to your flourish comprehensive - your plants should be happy
