How do I calculate the dose size?


The optimal dose size for our slabs can be calculated using the Dose size Calculator or manually as below.

Example:

Slab with volume = 100 x 15 x 7.5 cm = 11.25 liter
3 cubes volume = 3 x (10 x 10 x 6.5 cm) = 3 x 0.65 liter = 1.95 liter

Total stone wool volume = 13.2 liter
 

Dose size:

  • 3 drippers / slab = 13.2 / 3 = 4.4 liter / dripper
  • Dose size = 25 x 4.4 = 110 cc
     

This is the total volume of substrate (cube and slab) supplied per dripper multiplied by the DSF (Dose Size Factor). So the larger the volume of substrate per dripper the larger the dose size.
