Read the bottle or visit the manufacturers website. It's not difficult.

There's 16 cups in a Gallon no matter where you are.
The OP said they put 1 Tbls to a cup of water. If bottle says 4 Tbls to a Gallon, that's 1 Tbls for every 4 cups of water...

yeah but it dont burn u got other issues
Been using Foxfarms for years with excellent results. Each individual strain will need some tweaking here and there.
This mix will work for general veg starting at 2 weeks from transplanted clone or 3 weeks from seed. ( may be more if using FF soil...I dont. I use Sunshine Mix #4 and I would recommend it over FF.)
Big Bloom-30ml/Gal
Grow Big-10ML/Gal
Microbe Brew-2.5ML/Gal
I alternate between feeding and watering....Feed, water, feed, water, etc. Only give microbe brew once per week.
Transition...One week before flip to 12/12 light cycle
Grow Big-12ML/gal
Open Sesame- 1/4 TSP/gal (small side of the measuring spoon)
Microbe Brew-2.5ML/Gal
Flush with plain ph'd water before flip
Flower weeks 1-2
Big Bloom-15ML/Gal
TigerBloom-10ml/Gal
Open Sesame-1/4 tsp./Gal
Microbe Brew-2.5ml/gal
Flower Weeks 3-4
Big Bloom-15ml/gal
Tiger Bloom-10ml/gal
Grow Big-10ml/gal
Beastie Blooms-1/4tsp.Gal
I will only give nutrients one time per week with this mix...So my schedule for these two weeks goes Feed, Water, Water. Flush with plain water between weeks 3 and 4.
Flower Weeks 5,6, and 7 if needed
Big Bloom-15ml/gal
Tiger Bloom-10ml/gal
ChaChing-1/4 tsp. per Gal.
This is what has worked for me for years. I keep my water ph'd at 6.5 always. I make sure to flush with plain water for a minimum of 10 days before harvest...sometimes longer. If I have a strain that peaks for harvest at 53 days I will give my last feeding no later than day 43. If I have a longer flowering strain say 70-75 days I will give my last feeding no later than day 56 and just go plain water from then on. This is to give you a general idea...not all strains may respond best to this. You need to learn your strains and learn their needs and tweak from there. This is an excellent starting point and will very rarely burn anything. Some strains you may need to beef it up a small amount. Fox Farms are a good complete nutrient if you find the right ratios you will be able to max out your strains. I average 4 oz. per plant in 3 gallon pots of Topshelf medical grade. Any questions dont hesitate to ask.

FF Nutes - there's kind of a secret to them and that is to not use too much. I have grown many times (successfully might I add) using the Fox Farm Trio. The key is to start out around 1/3 strength and only feed every other watering. I can't stress that enough, that is such a commonly overlooked mistake. I also recommend adding your nutrients and then adjusting your PH to 6.2-6.8 afterwards.
Generally I used a soil with nutrients in it so I didn't really use too many nutrients until the flowering stage. I reached my maximum PPM of nutrients around week 7-8 of flowering, so you want to gradually keep building up until then. Once I reached this climax point I would water with just plain 6.2-6.8 ph water until the plants are finished.
You eventually reach a point where you are dialed in and it becomes second nature. I hope that helped.

I have been using the liquid trio and the solids trio (minus Cha Ching) with good results, especially when you consider the cost of FF nutes. As others have said less is more. I recommend never going past 3/4 strength with the liquids save Big Bloom. For the bulk of flower I mix 1 TABLEspoon of Big Bloom with 1&3/4 TEAspoons of Tiger Bloom, and if I need to, I add solids. And this is all mixed up in a 1 Gallon milk jug. Don't be afraid to MIX two or three FF products together if need be. This is alright according to their website as well.

Been working my way up. Using potting soil, with nutrients, seedlings at 1 teaspoon per gallon of grow big for the first couple of feedings. I feed once a week, sometimes more, depends on how they look. In veg stage, I do one teaspoon per gallon of cal mag plus, almost every time I water. I'm into 3 weeks flowering stage, so no more cal mag. and now mixing in 5 gallon buckets of water, last feeding 6 tablespoons of grow big and 1 teaspoon of bio bloom. Was about 600 ppm. A week later, which is today, I gave the 8 tablespoons of grow big and 1 teaspoon of bio grow. Was about 700 ppm and pH about 5.5, which drains out at 6.5. Before adding bio grow, my pH was a bit high. I have to adjust it low, because I don't adjust my water. It's well water, about 50ppm and pH 7.0. my plants also gets rain water from time to time, which pH is about 7.5 so I feed a little low on the pH. BTW, most of my plants are in 7 gallon fabric pots. Because they mold underneath, I have to move them around and clean it. Just saying, my last time using them. Lucky I'm basically outdoors, or can spread.

I use like 10ml/gallon without any issues I have read a lot of people saying start by using half the amount specified according to the labeling, you did read and comprehend the feeding instructions? Honest question no malice intended.

I doubt you'll get a response..........this thread is 10 years old and the OP hasn't been seen in over 10 years. Lol

LoL what even is time? I'm pretty disconnected from the plan I will do my diligence in the future to leave dead posts where they belong.
