Fox Farm Nutrient Schedule

When adding nutrients to water, do you take the recommended dosage for the specific week and add it all to 1 gallon of water, or does each specific nutrient get added to it's own gallon of water, then mix it all together?

For instance, in week 5 on the ff nutrient schedule, it shows 7.75 tsp of total nutrient using 5 different products. Is that all added to 1 gallon of water, or 5 gallons?

I know I could just check the ppm's, but I figured asking the question might save some hassle.

This is a link to ff nutrient schedule:

You add per gal , ex: If you have a 5 gal bucket and they say add 4ml per gal that would be 4ml x 5gal = 20ml of said solution. So if they say wk 5 you add 10ml of this 7ml of that and 3ml of this you times it by how much water you are using( but i wud recommend If they say 10ml try 1/2 5ml or lower) and work your way up according to how your plants respond. Good luck Just my 2 cents.

Happy Growing!

Yep I run Fox Farm and use a 5 gal bucket for my watering. I have city water, so I leave it sit in the bucket for 24 hours. Then check the ph and make sure thats good. Then, mix up everything in the bucket. I try to mix only what I am going to need for that watering and the 5 gal bucket is the right size. I found the pamphlet for feeding to be hard to understand but if you read the bottles its pretty clear. These are maximum amounts so be acurate in measuring. Good luck!

Yeah, per gallon, and as mentioned, use 1/3 or 1/2 strength and work your way up to maybe 2/3.
I originally started week 1 at full strength and stunted my plants growth for a couple weeks.
I've had good results using it though. All I use is the Trio, none of the others. I would like to pick up the other 3 at some point though.
