I was wondering...

ON my GH Flora grow bottle it says 5 - 0 - 1.

Does that mean its 5-0-1 NPK per ML?

wouldnt being 5% of a mL be the same thing as 5% of a gallon?

I would say that that is the npk of each feed recomended by the company who made the stuff.say if it says add 60 ml of a then this is the ammount of npk in each feed but i could be wrong it might be the overhall ammount of the container.

those numbers are usually based on a per gallon ratio. it should say on the directions....

no.. if it was on the directions i wouldn't ask here... its the general hydroponics solution. For seedling stage, it recommends 2.5 ml per gallon of water of all three.. of course more during growth and diff ratios during flowering... i was just wondering exactly how much N P K im adding when i follow the formulas they have set forth... i use 1/2 that shit cause i grow in soil.. does anyone use general hydroponics or know?

that means, if you're mixing for seedlings, this will be the amount in a gallon of water. it really doesn't matter. who cares how much of what is in the mix. keep in mind though, nute companies are notorious for suggesting over-feeding so you can use up what you have and go buy more. i never feed at their rates, and only use it as a guideline.
