Hi Elkmor
Trace Elements are not difficult to dose. Plants can take thousand times more then they actually need for healthy growth therefore the concentrations are very flexible. A few points to keep in mind;
Use only balanced TE product. TE product must supply Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, B and Mo. Anything else is pointless.
Do not mix. Using more TE products at the same time doesn’t make sense. The product is either complete or don’t use it. Keep it simple.
Do not add extra elements. Adding extra Fe or Zn into balanced TE product usually does not work. The same applies to other elements. The ratio is there for a reason. More is not better.
Dose as recommended at first. Recommended dosage is usually right. High intensity light or harder water requires more TE, but it should be decided after all the other variables prove to be in proper levels.
Search for deficiencies elsewhere first. Make sure there is enough light, Ca, Mg, NO3, PO4, K and then start experimenting with more TE. Some people proved Fe dosage of 0.01 ppm a day sufficient under very strong light and also under direct sun light outside.
Thank you
