I'm not sure if the stuff keeps like that.... I just mix it up every watering. I think the stuff goes bad if you just leave it out in the light and air and all.

just go and get yourself a 1 gallon or 2 gallon watering can and use that to mix your nutes in.

Walmart has/had nice ones that have gallons and half gallons marked right on the side.

teh ocean forest soil drains pretty good. you just water till you get some runoff, let that water sit for an hour or so because usually it will mostly get soaked back up into the dry spots in the pot. if ther still sitting in water, then empty the water from the dish so they don't have "wet feet".

If the plant is big enough to fertilize they are big enough to use at least 1 gallon of water.

when your soil gets really dry, it will hold more water that it can absorb as the water is being poured over it. letting it sit in the water for a while lets it soak up more, but you don't want the plant to be sitting in water for a long time.

you empty th water from the dish under the pot...
if you can't remove the pot from the dish then you cuold use a turkey baster or something.

you'll get the feel for how much water you plants need.
