I have tomato plants in 5 gallon deep water hydroponic system. How often do you need to add additional amounts to replenish this fertilizer?

it depends on how big the plants are for the first 2 to 3 months I had to change out the solution every two weeks but after that I had to start adding additional solution every other day

i have buckets as well i started at every 6 weeks but had to drop back to every 4 weeks and had to add three or four teaspoons of epson salt to my water

Not sure what you are asking. You use this nutrient as a add on and not as a base nutrient. You mix in your base and add this and anything else you might want to add. I believe I use 2ml per liter. So for a gallon of water you would use 8ml per gallon. Use from 2 week of bloom to end.

You want to fill the bucket with at least 4 gallons of RO water, a brand of bacteria designed to promote root growth and a nutrient package based on what your growing, making sure to balance your PH specific to that plants needs. It's also wise to add H2O2. The air stone will help circulate the water, allowing the root system to be oxygenated. Oxygenated water is critical in pushing nutrients through the root system and into the plant. Down side to DWC is that you will need to change out your water every one to two weeks. During that time monitor your PH and water level and adding H2O2 every 3 to 4 days. Hope this helps and isn't to detailed. :) You want to fill the bucket with at least 4 gallons of RO water, a brand of bacteria designed to promote root growth and a nutrient package based on what your growing, making sure to balance your PH specific to that plants needs.

you put about 1 ounce into each gallon of water, so about 1/4 bottle per 5 gallon bucket. the plants like it.

I just mix up a gallon and substitute for a watering(whatever you normally do for each plant only it will have the kelp in it). This seems to work well,

The product container says for garden watering, 4 tsp for two gallons (so 5 tsp for 2.5). For houseplants, 1 tsp per gallon (so 2.5 tsp for 2.5 gallons).

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

I would start off with 1/4 teaspoon per gallon; however, there are a multitude of other questions that need to answered. What is your ppm target? EC target? How often do you refill your reservoir? Is your water temperature optimum? Is your water temperature constant or does it fluctuate a lot? Remember you are adding salts, so don't over do it or over apply. When I was growing, I would add 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water and feed my plants approx. 1/2 gallon of the solution(along with other additives added to the solution) once a week. Ok to use with most greens I would imagine.

Depends what you are trying to accomplish. Ex: Peaches -1.5 Tablespoons per gallon, Tomatoes - 2 oz per 1,000 sq. ft. in 2 gallons of water, Ornamentals - 2 teaspoons per gallon, Moss control- 4.5 ozs per 1,000 sq. ft., Algae control in turfgrass - 1 pint per 1,000 sq. ft. in 5 gallons of water.

What size pots are you wanting to fill? I used to fill a 5 gallon bucket up to about 6 inches from the top. It is enough to plant one tomato plant or as in my case, one potato plant.

one tbsp per gallon of water for root vegetables and in and out door plants. two tbsp per gallon of water for vegetables, bedding plants, bulbs, annuals large outdoor plants. three tbsp per gallon of water for roses. 5% nitrogen 1% phosphate 1% potash. times the tbsp per gallon of fish fertilizer

The addition of SEA-90 to any hydro solution will improve production and nutrient density of the crop grown. Crops will be healthier and more disease and insect resistant. In general, add SEA-90, at a rate of one tsp per gallon of water. Always keep your Ph levels in check as well!

yes, it can be added weekly at a rate of 1oz per gallon. personally, i use it with every 3rd watering at a rate of 1/2 oz or 15cc's per gallon. Works wonders in conjunction with Azomite.

All the answer seem reasonable. One thing I did not see was the length of the tubing as well as to the hight the output opening is with respect to the pump. These affect the output and hence trial and error is required to get the best result. If you use 32 oz for the large plant and 16 oz for med plant every 2 days, then you will be using 32+32+ 16 = 80 oz ( ~ 2365 ml ) every 2 days . 5 gal = 5x 128 oz = 640 oz hence about 16 days (8 cycles). Hope this helps.

The basics are that when a tomato plant is set in one of these, it will spend the first 3 to 4 weeks growing its roots, down to the water in the bottom to get to its best water source and outward to pickup a food source. So you won't see much upward growth until that is established. During this phase I water from the top but not so much that water is being flushed out the bottom. Once I see the upward growth start, I water from the bottom through the openings in the sides at the bottom. This has worked well for me in Texas where the heat beginning in late June to mid September is a big problem for most plant life.

In soil or soiless mix every other watering, in hydro once a week if you have a resivour everyday if you dont

Everything I've read indicates the three are necessary. You only use a ounce of each per gallon of water. The fluids must be mix with the water not together or the chemical reaction nutrializes the effectiveness. I've had a lot of success with this product and it is tried and true. If you have questions, I recommend going to a local hydroponics shop if available or going to youtube and searching on the products or just general hydroponics. Good luck!
