1 gallon or 50 gallons. The measured amount is 1 gram per gallon of water.
The ec will be the same at 1 gallon or measured for 50 gallons if measured at 1 gram per gallon.

From my understanding it is meant for growers using large reservoirs.
Some people in the past would dump the powders in the res without water and found out that it doesn't mix well.

With 1 gallon containers. Fill it full of water.
Ad 1 gram Shine then mix well.
Then add 4-6 grams of Dirty. Shake well.
Then ph if desired.
You could get a 5 gallon bucket and make a small batch.
It will be fine for a day to not be circulating. Just stir before using.

Cool man! If I did want to mix up a batch in a 5 gallon bucket would it be OK to leave for a week as long as I have an air pump going in the bucket?

I recommend a small pump circulating 24/7 over a air pump.

I'm thinking I'll just make ACT instead of using +Life.

Do a side by side. I don't even think they are comparable. Compost tea doesnt guarantee anything and isn't consistent brew to brew. The dirty has an extract of compost tea in it and from what I understand replaces the need for it.

As you know I switched to EH for blooming. I ran into 1.0 pH drift/24 hours. Communicating with them, turns out the culprit is the air stones, which are made from calcium carbonate. They too recommend a small recirc pump over stones. Questions: what about the heat, and can small pumps handle 24/7?

I run a 400 gph pump running 24/7 circulating in my reservoir. 30 gallon trash cans. Doesn't get hot at all or much of a temp swing.

I'm a small closet grower. 4 individual rezes < @ 2g . Still, I have a couple small pumps, will experiment soon.

I can probably reduce 2 into one, but beyond that...

I think it's 1 per 10g, @ill eagle ... minor point, just trying to clarify. Doesn't take much. Probably a typo. I know you're the v+b leader/pioneer

Right on. Yeah I rock the 1 per 10 but I see no reason not to up that.

Do you flume it in a reservoir with a circulating pump?

Always. The pump warms up the Rez a little too which I think helps keep the medium a nice temp too
