To answer your question about dosing, Tom Barr designed the EI (Estimative Index) method of dosing to provide an abundance of nutrients to plants so that they are never deficient. A 50% water change on a weekly basis resets these nutrients to a lower level such that a dangerous level is not accumulated.

What are the effects of "dangerous levels" of nutrients?
