A member has asked me how much AG Nutes do you put in a 5 gallon bucket every two weeks?
Since I have never grown in buckets or DWC's before I have no clue on how to answer. Can someone please post what you use. I believe the member is growing peppers in one.
Thank you!

I'd been using the AG plant food at a rate of 11mL per gallon when I was growing a DWC jalapeno plant in my room. When it was fruiting, I bumped that up to 16.5mL per gallon. I used 5 gallon buckets with net pot lids, usually just filled the buckets with 4 gallons of solution. I'd also add 5mL of CalMag or so per gallon since I was use reverse osmosis water.
Edit: I'd followed the typical AG guidelines of completely dumping and replacing the nutrient solution every other feeding (replacing once per month). If you have means to pump the liquid out or drain it from the bottom, it's easier than lifting the entire plant out and placing into a fresh bucket, but moving to a fresh bucket does mean the reservoir is kept cleaner.
