If you are wondering if it is gallon of soil or for gallon of water, it is per gallon water you give your plants. only start out with quarter strength nutes though. not sure exactly what you are asking here. hope this helps. good luck

you mix up your nutrient soultion before watering take a gallon milk jug or something but mix up a gallon or a half at a time that way you can mesure the amounts correctly

you should start ate 1/4 strength to get your plants accustomed to it
meaning for 1 gallon of water mix in 1/8 tsp of the nutes.

Thank you very much for that response
what ya do is add the amount of nutes into the gallon of water. after the nutes are added to the gallon, correct the PH according the the manufactuer suggestion. itll be around 6.5. may be 6.3.. start light and get heavier over weeks...

then add as ness. start with a light mix then add more as you go, meanng add more to a FRESH gallon of water, the correct PH and so on. what you put into the soil makes the PH whatever the solution added is.

itll be fine j ust do that your good. hope that helps.

peace
