Finally at Zero N and P...Questions?

[JSM]

I've been dosing vodka for 15 wks now, was hovering just about zero but am finally, I think, at zero according to the Elos test kits. On the N color chart zero is an orange color, I'm at a lighter orange, I'm assuming this is still zero, anyone else experience this?

Second question, do I know cut the vodka dose in half? I'm doing 8.6 ml right now, it's taken so long to get to this point that I'm afraid cutting it back will result in N and P going back up. What happens if I leave it at 8.6, will I be overdosing? Genetics or anyone else, can you help? Thanks.

I'm tagging along for the ride. I am about to start a similar thing on my nano if I need to.


Personally I would suspect a half-dose would be fine, especially for a while. At the worst you would see a slow increase in N and P, but certainly not enough to cause any issues. I would personally consider starting with a 1/3 dose just to see what happens.

Janna, yes you would be overdosing if you kept dosing at 8.6ml daily. Cut it in half and observe. If you do see levels drift up, you'll need to increase your vodka dosages. My ELOS NO3 0 reading is clear, no orange.
