Cool but how much per gallon or per plant?

1 gallon of mix in a moistened 5 gal pot should be fine. Is this your only flowering fertilizer?

I went with 1 tablespoon NOG Bone meal to 1/2 gallon water on one plant. And 1/4th tablespoon NOG to one half gallon water for the other 2 plants. Just winging it, since no one suggested an amount.
I was top dressing 2-8-4 but stopped a month ago, so this is probably the only nutes they've got to work with right now yea.

Yea good suggestiom the back said (1-2 tbs per gallon, every watering. From late veg through end of bloom). So I tried the 1tbsp on one plant. And went 1/4th on the other two. I'll do that once a week (not every watering lol) We'll see what happens!
I know one thing for sure, 1tbsp into a gal at 6.5ph turns into a 5ph. Apparently this liquid bone meal is acidic.

Most organic nutes are gonna be acidic. Why was it 6.5 to start? I forgot what your water's like.

Cool I had no idea. My first time using organic liquid fert. I've been using Deer Park, it runs like 5.5 - 7 & varies from batch to batch. Right now I got a 6.5 batch. In the future I'll use my 8.3 tap water to do bone-meal feeding tho for sure.

I ended up feeling like a wizard making potions. Add this, little bit of that, don't forget this, add this too, ph it over and over. It made it feel more like a job than something enjoyable.
I switched to Dr earth, some ewc, and some lobster comport and that's it really.

My first indoor run I used it. My plants were slow to begin flowering but after one feed with BM and my other grow food plants showed flowers almost overnight. Now I just use dry bone meal in my medium along with flower girl and let it cook for a few days before I up pot and switch to 12/12. Nector and all the other liquid nutrients are hella expensive compared to dry nutrients.

You should try fish bone meal. IMO more effective than slaughter house bone meal.

Thanks, slaughter house hadn't entered my mind really. Still, I'll finish this bottle.. poor animals bones should get used right, not wasted.
