Basic nutrient question (sorry lol)

i have ionic bloom/boost and grow, and on the bottle it says to give 7ml per litre if i remember correctly.

so when it comes to watering my plant do i mix this amount into the water?

I know not to give it a litre of water each time i feed lol, but is the proportion of nutrient to water correct?

And also i dont understand it when people say use half strength, full strength etc, how does that relate to my 7ml per litre dilema?

thanks

It all depends on how many plants you are feeding. I try and make up 5 litres at a time to use. Which makes it easier to dilute the mix.

I too use the IONIC range i have a table for you to use but make sure you only use 1/4 or 1/2 strength to begin with.

I will post the PDF for you to have a look at,

I personally used 1/4 strength for the first feed then upped to 1/2.
If you are using coco coir then you need to be allowing at least 20% runoff after watering.
If soil then 10% is ok.

I didnt use the boost until late in flowering.

to answer your 2 questions. it says to give 7ml per litre if i remember correctly.

so when it comes to watering my plant do i mix this amount into the water? yes you mix that amount 7ml for every l of water.
And also i dont understand it when people say use half strength, full strength etc, how does that relate to my 7ml per litre dilema? to mix at half you would eighter use 2.5ml in one lite.or 7 ml in 2 liters of water

Thanks for speedy reply, i used full strength before knowing all this a while back but havent given then any more nutrients for a few weeks now and they both seem fine except the small one which is showing nutrient burn.
Since i havent feed them nutrients in a while i guess it was due to the surface she was sitting on.
Atm she is in a rockwool sitting in a tray of running water, well this tray is lined with a netting to catch the nutrients however the netting got REALLY green lately, i dont know what this green is and its also appeared on my rockwool cubes at the top.
Well i put some fresh netting down so hopefully this will solve my problem?
