Hello everyone. I am trying a small 2 gallon DWC grow. I need help understanding how much nutrients to use. So if the bottle says 5ml to 1 gallon of water and I am using a 2 gallon bucket. I would use 10ml correct? Since it says 5ml per gallon. So if the bottle says 20ml per gallon. I would use 40 correct? I know the question may sound stupid but I just wanna make sure. Thanks

That's right stupid . Lol.

Dosage x gallons of water.

So n if you're using 2 gallons and it says 10 ml per gallon then 20 ml is correct

A cookie costs 15 cents. If Sally has two quarters and one dime and wants to buy a cookie for her mother and father, how much will she have left?

Yeah your math is correct.

DWC in the summer heat, hmmm. Hopefully you can keep your water below 70F if not then it lacks the oxygen to make DWC growing truly effective. If you're running higher water temps definitely consider Botanicare Hydroguard. I live in a cooler area than you do and I wouldn't touch hydro during these months but to be honest I dropped hydro about a year ago and packed up all my equipment in favor of organic soil. So my views are probably skewered.

Hydroguard seems to be good shit. I've been running it in my aero res. Had temps as high as 90.
