Before I answer this I want to say I never feed a healthy plant in soil especially if any of those nutrients are chemical salts you are just building up salts. When they say per gallon It is never per plant but I cut everyone's amount in half and I test it on just 1 plant first. Then I use full recommended dosage most the time unles it seems high, especially if it is high in Nitrogen. The most important thing people miss is keeping your pH the same for water and for nutrient water. Some strains don't notice pH fluctuations however known hard to grow strains I've encountered exclusively have shown problems.First off, I'm Scrogging, so no lifting can be involved. I guess I'll just feel the soil. It's easier to over water than underwater, But I'm using a phat sack (HTG's Smart Pot) and they say that needs more water than other pots.
But my MAIN concern is dosage.
Referring to the chart I see for example Week 3 1/2tsp Grow 1/2tsp micro 1/4tsp of Bloom per Gallon.
Is this the exact amount you will feed PER plant?
Or is it just the ratio of nutrients per gallon of water that should be used and the amount of water will differ based on the plant?
In other words
If I feed once a week to one plant will I need 1 gallon of the exact nutrient mixture?
ORWill I need however many gallons of the same mixture adjusted to the same ratio that gets 10%-20% runoff?
Because I feel like you don't understand this completely. Some additives, such as beneficial bacteria, tell you to add 3/4 gram per plant site. In that case you don't mix it with water you literally weigh 3/4 of a gram of powder and put it around the stem, then you water normally with no nutrients. In your case it says 1/4 - 1/2 tsp per gallon. That means for every gallon of water you add 1/4 or 1/2 tsp, as per the schedule. Did I warn you about Nitrogen yet?
