the recommended dosages for floranova on the label are a bit excessive. use about 75% as much as they tell you to...worked fine for me. Most manufacturers will lean closer to the overdose side so you use more of they product. Better to be safe than sorry thou...BTW get a ppm meter

there are many expensive and worthless ppm meters. I stick with the Milwaukee SM 401, which you can purchase for around 70-80. Check out ebay. Just use what dosage they suggest and maybe dilute it a bit more for good measure.
