How much fertilizer do I feed my plants?

I bought "Organic E.B. Stone fertilizer for Avocados and Citrus Trees" because it was the only fertilizer in the store with enough Nitrogen greater than the other two. The NPK ratio is 7-3-3.

The instructions were very hard to interpret. It said scrape the fertilizer on the surface of the soil and then water, but I just mixed it with the water and watered. Is this okay? It is organic fertilizer.

Also, it said for citrus trees in pots use 1 tablespoon per 6 inches of diameter per month. Therefore, my calculations:

1 tbsp = 3 tsp
(6 inches) x 1.75 = My 9 inch pot
(3 tsp) x 1.75 = 5.25 tsp per month
Month = 4 weeks
5.25 / 2 = 2.6 tsp per 2 weeks
Start off at 40% strength : (2.6 tsp) x 40% = 1 tsp

So I mixed "1 tsp" in just under a gallon of water. Is this too little/too much fertilizer and would 2.6 every two weeks or so be too much? Keep in mind, this is organic fertilizer.

Thanks for any suggestions.

BUMP

lol Im wondering the same thing.... Could only get my hands on some Rose fertilizer 6-12-6, And I know this is not optimal for flowering but its fine, but im not sure how much to put per plant? I have small pots like yourself, and my plants r 2-3 weeks old, but are autoflowering strains, so they will be flowering in a week or so.
