nutrient ratio speedometer thingy

I'm having trouble understanding the out of range part of this graph. If my zinc:copper ratio shows the arm all the way to the right-which do I add? How much?

  • How can I attach a picture to show what is confusing me about the nutrient ratios? I click on the image and it's asking for an url :(

    I don't have the "choose files" option, only the Image URL but I figured out why I was confused. I thought the arrow meant I needed more zinc in order to move up into the green range, but now I understand that it is pointing at the nutrient (copper) I need to increase. Duh.

  • Keep in mind these balances are showing ratios, so you can move the ratio by either consuming more of one, or consuming less of the other.

  • Thanks Aaron, my confusion was caused by how I read the graphic. With the arrow all the way to the right of the zinc:copper, I thought I needed to increase zinc in order to move the arrow back up into the green and that didn't jibe with my actual numbers.
