2 teaspoon = 16ML

So ¼ of 16 is 4.

So im doing 4ml per gallon since its seedlings and their first feed.

RIGHT?

Also. That means


3tsp = 24ml
But since that's week 2 of feeding them I'm going to do ½ strength...

Meaning 12ml per gallon for week 2 feeding.

Then ¾ str week 3 so thats
18ml for week 3 feeding.
Then week 4 is 24ml per gallon



CAN SOMEONE TELL ME YES OR NO IF THIS IS RIGHT

Feed less than what the chart says and ignore that ridiculous Sledgehammer flush every couple of weeks.

I give up

Anyone else wanna try :wall:
Good thing you aren't a teacher.. Learning is different for every person. Chess for instance is something books try to teach people where other people learn by watching the game played. Pool is another one.. if you play nine ball you better be able to strike the ball with the required english and then learn the importance of seeing 6 or 7 shots into the game. Why do you think pros run rack after rack. Growing is no different.

I think you are confusing yourself by trying to convert everything. Get a syringe with ml markings

1 tsp = 5 ml

Seedling feed according to that chart is 2 tsp of Big Bloom and 1 tsp of Grow Big Hydro.

Half strength feed = 1 tsp (5 ml) of Big Bloom and 0.5 tsp (2.5 ml) of Grow Big Hydro

Measure the nutrient solution EC and pH it. Coco pH range 5.5-6.5, optimal is 5.8.

Nope.

1 tsp = 5mL
Depending where you are 3 tsp = 1 tbsp (15mL). In Australia 1 tbsp is equal to 20mL, or 4 tsp.

If you haven't an ec / ppm meter yet, you're ideally going to want one using coco. It's a wise investment.

Realize that chart's just a guide and doesn't factor in grow media. Soil, coco, promix whatever.

Notice there's an estimated ec of the mixed amounts each week. Use that as a guide when deciding how much to mix. I'd stick to the same ratio of each bottle specified from week to week, but not the dilution rate.

Dilute / lower the EC as required.
If using coco coir and ideally giving daily, regular feeds, you're going to fry them going by the EC on that chart.
Used to regularly grow in 18L rocket pots, coco, 2-3 feeds per day once plants were established. Pretty positive I didn't often go over about 1.0 - 1.2EC per feed, even during peak flower. Only the frequency changed.

1.0 EC is roughly 500 ppm i'm pretty sure. Depends on what ppm conversion you're using.
Get an EC / ppm combo meter and you'll be able to convert to ppm easily. And it's a necessary tool to have in my opinion. Just takes some of the guessing away. Especially when problems arise.

Hope it helps answer some of your questions. Not too sure what you're asking specifically, sorry.
All the best.
