It depends on how often you plan to feed. I only feed 1-2 times a week so I use about 2.5-3ml, increasing until last 1-2 weeks of flower as the plants don't feed much when they're finishing.
1st time 12/12 grow

No problem. Just keep in mind that dyna grow is a hydroponic nutrient solution, meaning it contains every element required for plant growth, so use it sparingly or you'll end up with some really jacked up nutrient concentrations if you feed too often, leading to lock out. Start with once a week, and just keep an eye on them. If they're looking hungry go to twice a week.

When I do my SOG(sea of green) grow, I plan to use this fert :

Good price, organic, and the ratio is 2-2-2. Not technically designed for herbage but I'm going with a simple grow (that fertilizer with fox farms ocean forest soil). Hopefully my results will be like yours!

Ok, so no fertilizer caters perfectly to a plants needs. Say you feed every day, a solution containing elements a b and c. Your plant may have eaten all of "a" over night, but no b or c. So you feed the same solution the next day, now you have double the b and c in your medium but only that small amount of a from the solution. Eventually the nutrient concentration in your medium is very different than the balanced concentration of your fertilizer.
Plants only take in water soluble nutrients, in organics microbes break down complex molecules until they are water soluble. If there is too much of one nutrient the plant can't take in another. Google Mulder's chart.

That's why I use the MIR (make it rain) technique. Mother nature has a way of sort of resetting nutrient levels with periods of heavy rain.
Even if there are no signs of lock out, it's good to be proactive by MIR every few weeks to simulate a heavy thunderstorm.

Nugporn, smells really building up now but thankfully my carbon filter fan kit came and does a superb job of controlling smell downside is that its now running the tent at a bit less temp and its slightly loud although i am planning on moving it inside the tent soon too at the moment its just sitting on top of tent sucking out through the filter

Thanx mate it is getting better as the days go on. I even taste tested a small op corn nug. At thebmoment the effect is very mild but lasted a long time. Just gave me a chilled out mellow couch buzz but hardly enough to get my eyes red (and half closed)

Heres an update for the peoole who are watching this thread. Still need a bloom fert but no cash t the moment so im hoping it stays fine. Im hoping for some advice on how far they are from being done. Bcoz cash is low i dont have a loupe to check trichs out and its 12/12 from seed so its hard for me to tell but can anyone suggest a round about figure of time weeks or monrh ect.
