Actually, 1.23 mL is 1/4 of a teaspoon (tsp). That 0.23 mL really matters. Also, that measuring spoon appears to be for solids (eg: flour etc), and not liquids. Liquid will likely go under the slide portion of the spoon, giving inaccurate measurements.

Instead of trying to measure such small quantities, mix up a batch of say 10L of water. Then, you're measuring a much larger amount of nutrient solution, and there's far less chance for error, and significantly more consistency for feeding for a longer period. It also prevents having to mix every feeding.

I use a large measuring cup, but I mix 15-20 gallons at a time. For smaller amounts, typical kitchen measuring cups or measuring spoons work. Each spoon should have a single measurement (eg: 1 tsp, 2 tsp, 10 tsp etc).

The spoon you have is for powder nutrients, not liquid ones. If you bought it at the same time as the liquid nutrients, I would not be shopping at that shop any longer, as they clearly have no understanding whatsoever of what they're selling.
 
Go to the chemist and get a syringe with ml on.

Get a big bucket and mix up 10-20ltr and bobs your uncle.

BTW that yellow thing you have is for measuring dry salts.

Sorry man, was late last night, didn't pick up on the fact you were in happy frog.
Its probably got plenty of nutrients in it for now. Leave them be and if they start to show signs of been hungry then start with low dose of nutrients.

Im a coco guy so im used to feeding clones from the point they have roots.

You can start it now, but go slow and steady, don't try and bend her all in one day.
Hook round the bottom and tie off to left and then hook further up and tie off to right and slowly over time tighten that top string to pull her over, then rinse and repeat as other shoots come up.

LST can be done at any time at all. Low-Stress Training as it's known, is a technique that doesn't 'hurt' the plant, so there's very little if any recovery the plant has to do.
