Potassium schedule advice

[Corbidorbidoodle]

I've finally realized that I need to dose additional potassium. Currently, I'm dosing easy green daily to keep, like, any nitrates in the water. Should I just start adding potassium daily as well? Or should I start, like, 2-3 times a week?

Frequency isn't really important, it's home much you dose. You can take a per week total and divide that out however you want. 

To simplify it a bit, I'd match my potassium dose to my NO3 dose. Keeping it 1:1 should be fine.

So, it looks like Sechem Potassium has about twice the potassium that Easy Green has Nitrogen. (Per dose) so I'd probably dose it half as often?

[Mmiller2001]

I would add up the totals from Easy Green and then dose the difference.

But if this helps, dosing 3.9ml (Flourish Potassium) into 10 gallons will add 5ppm K.

This chart was created a while ago so hopefully it's still accurate.

Ugh... Math is hard. Does anyone know how much potassium is in Easy Green? There's one ingredient that says"potash". Is that potassium?

I'll attach a picture of the label.

Also, sorry for having the deductive abilities of a child.

Wait, I get it now. I just read the chart. And my daughter told me that "potassium" is "K". She's much smarter than I am...
