And ...how many time do you use the K-Lite during a month?
I water daily at low ppms.

Daily? How many ppm?
That is pretty low. About 1/4 t. per gallon.
Daily?
Pesky U.S measures units :evil: but . Very difficult for us to have precise informations. What is 130 T ppm - 30 -35 ppm N? If it is 130 mgr Total fertilyser per liter it is 17 ppm N! If it is for for 1 gal. it is 17/3.75 ppm N.
Around 130 T ppm - 30-35 ppm N
Your daily rate of N is only a little lower than my projected weekly rate of 40-50 mg/L N
You feed a lot!! But I'm glad you are liking the results.
But if I'm not mistaken John Biernbaum from MSU is fertilizing @ 125 ppm N almost every watering. I'm using about 1/4 of what recommend by MSU.
My goal is quite a bit different in both time frame and reduced chemical intervention for mortality reduction.
When the "MSU" article was published, 125 ppm N was what they had used in evaluating it, and a lot of us took it as a decent recommendation. Not long ago, Bill Argo told me they had not arrived at that level in any scientific manner: "We tried it and it worked".
I used that level at every watering for about 8 years. I have reduced it based upon the reasoning that it is well established that animals are healthier and live longer when fed a complete, yet moderate diet. Might that apply that to plants, too? (If only I could apply it to me.)
Would it be asking too much for someone to explain what ppm is exactly and how do you measure it in your water? I realize you guys went to school for years to learn this but I'm just wondering if there's a crash course one could take? Thanks
