A Question about feeding the plant Nutrients?

I have just recently put my first grow into flowering. I am still watering only 100ml of water and I am looking into giving it some nutes soon. The soil I have is BioBizz all mix and I have Bio Grow and Bio Bloom nutes. I have read feeding schedules for Biobizz products and the say 1ml of nutrients to every litre of water. If I gave the plant a whole litre of water I'm sure it would die. What do I do?

if your using soil, and your in a 1 or 2 gal pot with drainage holes on the bottom of the pot you can absoultely use 1 liter of water. The excess water will simply drain out of the bottom of the pot. It wont simply die because you gave it 1 liter of water. hell thats only 1/4 of 1 gallon. plant like water , they just dont like to "sit" in water. plants love moist soil !

i use 5gallon pots during flower and i use 2 gallons of water per plant. The excess runs off. The reason I use so much water is because i want the water to penetrate all soil and not leave "dry pockets" in the pot. Now i dont water every day, in fact i will water like every 3 days so the soil has time to dry up. Sometimes i only use 1 gallon to water, you really have to look at the plant and diagnose the problem yourself. it takes a lot of growing to learn the science of growing !

Thanks for the info! I am in a 7" pot so would it be best to water a litre or half a litre when I go to feed for the first time?

i use biobizz nutes all the time with soil and its usually 6 ml of bloom when its in the middle of flower. start with 2ml per litre and increase by 1 ml per week(usually i have 2 feeds a week) when u reach 6ml start reducing it by 1ml. i always give 1ml of grow as well on each feed. keps the leaves nice and green and stop nitrogen deficiency. why are you using pots so small? is it a space issue. i use 15litre pots and my plants were fed twice a week on average with between2 to 3 litres per plant per feed.

I do indeed have limited room :( I repotted about 3 weeks ago so would it be safe to feed the plant without burning it?

yeah start off at 2ml of bloom and 1 of grow, bio bizz is difficult to burn as its not full of dodgy chemicals(its not impossible though, i fuckin fried 5....well it was either me drunk or my kids................fuck it, i'll blame the rugrats)
