I am not using an EC meter or measuring in ppms and am doing an outdoor soil grow.
I have four different nutes:
10-7-18 powder
3-1.5-4 organic liquid
0-7-0 guano
0-0-5 organic liquid potassium
So, I don't understand what the numbers mean, exactly.
Is it intended to mean that the 0-0-5 for instance is 5 percent potassium if you mix it at the strength recommended on the label(1/2 tbsp gallon).
The recommended amount to use doubles for every gallon water used. Does that mean if you need to give a single plant two gallons of water you use double the label amount in order to deliver that level of potassium(0-0-5) to that plant?
The levels recommended per gallon on the phosphorus(guano) is 2-3 tbsp and potassium 1/2 tbsp(.25 oz) per gallon of water. Does that mean to mix it that way in plain water gives you a nute strength of 0-7-5 in that gallon? and if you mix that same amount in two gallons of water is it 0-3.5-2.5? are you diluting the amount of nutrition your plant receives or just delivering the same amount to the plant through an increased amount of water?
I'm just not sure I understand how much to feed my plant or how much should be enough. I don't want to overdo it.
