That's it, all the rest is waste.
according to your rationale, 99.999% of growers have been wasting massive quantities of ferts and contributing significantly to the destruction of this planet's resources. a claim such as that needs a more elaborate justification.

ok, sorry to sound like a j-ass, but i would truly appreciate it if you shined some more light on my shadowy face. are fert companies so deceptive that they would publicly encourage the waste of ferts just to make a profit?

i think i just misunderstand. let's take your example: plant drinks 1 gallon a day. so mix enough nutes for ONE gallon, and then add water for a week? then do it all over again, thus saving enough nutes to fill 6 gallons of water every week?

...i'm going to bang my head against a wall till i hear back from you, thanks herbie.
