confusing nutrient directions, need to clarify

have 15-30-15 plant prod for flowering. I had the same nutes before, just 20-20-20.

The directions on the new jar of nutes say

MIXING RATES:Mix 3.5mL of fertilizer per 1L of water (1 tablespoon/gallon)
then right under that..directly under
FOR FLOWERING HOUSEPLANTS AND AFRICAN VIOLETS: Mix 6mL of fertilzer per 5L of water (1teaspoon/gallon)

Those are to completely different ratios and the only directions the first nutrients I had were Mix 6mL of nutes per 5L of water and not the other one?

So what one should I go by? thanks for the help

use the first one.

5ml=1 teaspoon. So, go with 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Is this shultz brand?

u just contradicted each other

what one?
its plant prod 15-30-15

anyone? even if you dont exactly know, which one probably sounds closer to riught

Contradictions run wild here....get used to it, just choose the one that feels the most right, you always know the right one, its a gut feeling.

The reason I said to use 1 teaspoon per gallon is because you can overdose the plant with nutrients by giving a full blast of nutes. When giving the girls something new always start out with 1/4 to 1/3 the recommended amount. Prevention is everything, so start out slow and easy, they will appreciate it.

well actually, since the 1st set of nutes ive been using didnt have the first option i have been following mix 6ml per gallon of water ratio still

i have been doing 1.25 mL of 20-20-20 and 1.25 mL of the 15-30-15 ..quarter strength each..im going to feed it this one or 2 more more times, then in a couple days give it full flowering nutes. But when i do that, I want to know what ratio is better to follow, i don't want to not be giving it enough the entire time when it could take alot more

i guess this plant has some testing ahead

on the other hand..there is a 24/7 phone number on the jar

gonna call it, see whats up

thanks for the reply man i appreciate it
