I am going to use what I do as an example. Use whatever nuits you want to.
I use general Hydroponics Flora Micro base 3 part line. There are 2 options for feeding during veg according to the nuit schedule. One calls for 1 ml per gallon of each of the 3 base nuits (mild vegetative growth) and the other calls for 3 ml per gallon of the same 3 base nuits (aggressive growth). I would start off with the mild formula and ph it to 5.7. after 1 week I would top off the water and add another full dose of the mild dose and ph again to 5.7. I would do this a third time and after another week I would change the contents of the bucket entirely. I am planning to fill a container, for you a 5 gallon bucket would work - I am going to use a 55 gallon drum, and ph the water (no nuits) and attach a float valve to the bubble bucket so that the water will stay the same level always. You will need to add nuits once a week in my opinion but do what you feel is right. The real problem is that your plant will eat what nuits it wants but you will not know what nuits it is using so you need to replenish all of them on a regular basis (once a week is good).
If the PPM's go over what is comfortable (1600+) then replace the water in the bucket entirely.
