So start low, and work you way up.
taken from the Advanced Nutrients website(on connoisseur):
+ DIRECTIONS: Use 4 mL per Liter during weeks 1 through 6 of your flowering phase. Shake well to take full advantage of this product and put it to work for you.
-------------
so that's about 15mL per gallon.
as for bud candy it doesn't give specific dosage on the site, but just follow directions on the bottle, and if you think your plants can take more( are not clawing ) then go ahead and add a little more next time, but if they start curling after a feeding, weaken the next solution because it was too strong for them.
I use a feeding schedule of 2 feed, 1 water, so every 3rd time I water my plants they only get fresh pHed water.
hope this helps.
