I was wondering about the EI method - dose - dose - dose - water change out the surplus. Even with the water changes don't things still build up?
super simple example: say does 10 units of a nutrient and plants are using 5.
At the end of 1st week = 5 units left, 50% change.
2nd week starts with 2.5 units, dose 10 plants -5 leaves 7.5
50% change 3.75 units
3rd week does 10 = 13.75 units plants use 5 leaves 8.75
50% change = 4.4
4th week +10 = 14.4 - 5 =9.4
50% change = 4.7
Seems like they excess keeps climbing every week despite the 50% changes?
I must be missing something, or just over reacting, maybe over curious? or as time goes on does the amount added just become insignificant?
thanks
