Little bit confused here but correct me if i am wrong, 5x 1/4cup water with 1/4 fertilizer. Would that be a 5:1 mix?

no by 1/4 fert it means that if the instructions on the ferts (nutes) say put 1 tsp per gallon that you would use 1/4 tsp per gallon

and a 5 to 1 ratio would be 5 parts to 1 part, 5 cups to 1 cup, 5 gallons to 1 gallon
