It says right on the bottle.
If you are feeding young plants that are just past the seedling stage, use 1/4 what the bottle says.

ff usually has a feeding schedule that comes with the ferts or is displayed at the store so you can take a copy for yourself. i start with 5ml per gal of the tb and work up to 15ml per gal. for the bb i use 60ml per gal. but always listen to your girl's needs and adjust accordingly. good luck

so I asked this question in a post but no answers, is FF "organic based" ferts. considered a organic grow ??

and to HELP answer your question here is what I'm using: Tiger Bloom= 1 1/2 tsp. per gal & Big Bloom= 1 tbs. per gal...but like justaseed said it's going to depend on what your girls want...

that's alot of watering/feeding!!!! you don't have problems with rootrot, nuteburn, etc? with that amount of watering/feeding your soil must never dry out properly. the most i ever watered in flower was once every 3rd day in 5gal buckets and the plants/rootsystems were monsterous (4-5 oz per plant). try waiting a day or more between waterings to let the soil dry thoroughly, mj hates "wet feet"!!

about the organics, i never considered it organic because it would say 100% organic like the bb does if that was the case. if i remeber correctly,, i once asked the hydro store owner that same question and he said that tb uses some nonorganic sources for the nutrients it contains. at least that's what i was told.

for the organic thing that's kinda what I figured I just keep seeing tiger bloom mentioned allot here in the organic froum so I was just wondering....

I hav'nt had any problems with the soil being too wet. I don't totaly get the soil soggy every night I give them what they need the top of the soil is dry by the time I water the next night...here is a little pic of my plants the tall half is aprox. 7' tall and the other is like 4' tall...I will be harvesting next weekend....

your plants like nice and bushy but the leaves look droopy and thats usually a sign of overwatering... But hey if its working fine for you keep going

nice looking grow! if it ain't broke don't fix it. you could try watering less with 1-2 plants to see if it makes a difference. keep up the good work!

some people only use haf doses of ff,but i know someone who uses heavy doses throughout along with the fox farm tri-pack.he doses them heavy when their young and they build up a tolerance to it.his garden is very strong and vigorous.if you burn them take a 1/4 tsp. out of the normal regimen and keep the doses coming.lol.
