@Chelo posted a new topic, subject "Fertilizer amount in a 5 gallon pot". It read:

   How much of the recommended amount of fertilizer do you add to a 5 gallon pot afer you mix it into the water.

@MidwestGuy replied

    Chelo:
    
    > amount of fertilizer
    
    Enough to maintain a runoff PPM of ~1,000. Do you have a PPM meter?

@Chelo replied

    Yes i do

Then @Chelo said

    This is my first grow its in the 3 week into flower but some how i feel i under giving the amount of nutrients need i put the recommended amount of fertilizer per gallon and share it amoung the three plants i have in the grow tent

Then @MidwestGuy said

    Chelo:
    
    > i feel i under giving the amount
    
    The only way to tell is to monitor runoff PPM.

After which, @Chelo added

    So what u saying is to continue pouring the water with the fertilizer till it have run of

After which, @MidwestGuy added

    I would suggest using plain water until you get ~20% runoff, test that runoff, and adjust your feeding accordingly.

After which, @Chelo added

    I am growing gold leaf from ilgm using the bergmans fertilizer the chart tells u the amout of fertilizer to mix into litres and gallon but i am confused if thats for each plant.

    > confused if thats for each plant.
    
    Don't make it more complicated than it is. It's the amount for proper strength of the mix. The number of plants is irrelevant.
    
    Again, monitor the runoff PPM of each plant and adjust accordingly.
    
    I suggest doing more reading than you have been. You will learn a lot. Here's a place to start.

    As @MidwestGuy mentioned, the schedules are per liter/gallon not sure of their schedule. Plant and pot size will determine the amount you feed to get the 20% run off. I definitely agree to water feed only to check the PPMS and PH before feeding nutrients, you'll need to know these numbers to know how much nutrient solution PPMS to mix and feed
