Are you following the feeding schedule on the bottle or on their published feeding schedule?
How big are your plants?
The feeding guidelines are per gallon of water. so if it says 2 teaspoons and you are going to use 5 gallons of water to water with you put in 10 teaspoons. 2 (tsp) x 5(gallons) = 10tsp
Be aware that if you are just starting new seedlings they won't be anywhere near that strength. That is considered "full strength".

see i know all of this i used them last time but the results weren't that great. but it never states per plant or what. i mean obviously you don't use 3 tsp a gallon for 1 plant and use the same amount for 10 plants. unless you had a RO machine or a shit ton of empty jugs i use the same one that sits out over night to remove the chlorine. i'm asking if its 1 tsp and im using it for 8 plants do i use 8tsp?

If you're using 8 gallons of water then yes 8 tsp. IF you're only using 1 gal of water use only 1 tsp, no matter how many plants you have.
It's based on the amount of water you use to water all of your plants (no matter what that number may be...)

You aren't making any sense. Why would it matter how many plants you have? If you have 1 plant, you only need 1/2 gallon to water, if you have 10 plants, you need 5 gallons.
So 1 plant = 1tsp = 2(tsp) x .5(gallons)
10 plants = 10tsp = 2 (tsp) x 5 (gallons)
More plants means more water.
So 1 plant = 1tsp = 2(tsp) x .5(gallons)
10 plants = 10tsp = 2 (tsp) x 5 (gallons)
More plants means more water.

The .25 tsp per gal is the amount you use if your mixing different nutes. The 3 tsp is if your going to only use that fert by it self (not mixing other products in to water).
This is correct for watering with 8 gallons, only concentrated for mixing in different nutes. Like if your on week 5 on the fox farm schedule, and you have the full array of products you would be mixing them at their lowest concentration(each diluted in a gal of water and then mixed.), I even add molasses after that 1 tsp per gal of water.

i also use molasses, what kind do you use? and do you ever notice a difference? i only used it once before (this is my second grow) so i have nothing to compare it to.
