    10ltr probably not worth buying a recirculating pump for, a good shake should do the trick on a daily.

    Ok thank you I will go get something to mix more water in today instead of a 1ltr jug thanks for the information guys!!!

    I like fresh so I mix nutes daily. I've found that using a minimum of ONE gallon makes pH adjustment much, much easier for anything from plain water to high EC elixirs. Most nutrient manufacturers use one gallon as a standard when mixing.

    Thanks bud it’s hard for me as I would be waiting a lot as I’m only watering one at the minute so I can get used to growing

    2 household buckets. Exactly 10 litres of water in one of them. Squirt in the ingredients, separate syringes for each. Pour into the 2nd bucket and that's your nute res. It might not last the week but that's a good reason to be generous with the runoff.

    Even if you use 3 times more nutes than you could have got away with, it has saved you a lot of time and hassle. Whatever extra you spend on nutes is still cheaper than a visit to the dealer.

    I use canna organo ph down.

    It's citric acid 41% rather than phosphoric acid 82% makes adjustment in smaller volumes of water easier.

    Measuring syringes and blunt tip needles make dispensing a tiny drop at a time a cinch

    If you put an air stone in your feed it will last for months if need be. Not that you should leave it for months just saying….

    If you use a bigger body of water you won’t have such a hard time with the ph,ing be much easier use a 10 litre bucket.

    Also measure you food before you ph so it don’t mess with your readings.


    0.8 is a suuuuuuper low ec fyi that’s seedling cutting really small plant type feed.

    Also if you switched to soil you don’t need to ph.
