EI vs Lean dosing

[gjcarew]

To understand why people "front load" nutrients you first need to understand how accumulation works and how to calculate the maximum theoretical accumulation based on dosing and water changes.

Here's a link where I discuss this in my journal.

And here is a link to my journal where I discuss front end loading. When I started doing this years ago people thought I was nuts. I would say it's easily as good as daily or other day dosing, and in many cases better.

I started front loading a couple years ago and never looked back. It's great for space cases like me who always forget to do daily dosing.

Wow I guess I also "front load" all my nutrients after a water change. Then I usually dose a little bit just once or twice in between water changes but am not too strict about it. Mixing all my GH buffer stuff and macros immediately after water change is just easier and the results are just fine.
