So I have a quick question about nutrients.. I currently have the Hydroponics flora series and I am growing a single plant inside of a PC case. I have found a pdf file of nutrient amounts for A GALLON.. but at this stage of growth I am not using anywhere close to that much water to feed the plant as it is just starting to grow its first leaves. Even cutting it to a HALF GALLON is still too much and I would just be wasting nutes if I measured them into a half gallon and then had to empty it out to increase the amounts for the next weeks schedule. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do? Anything helps.. Thanks!

Keep it simple, mix up a gallon and use as needed. Should be able to use that up pretty fast. When you mix the next batch, add what you have left to it, this will only dilute the strength slightly. You don't want to try preparing smaller amounts because the mix will be less accurate.
Also, you don't want to feed till your girl is well established, distilled water only till she shows signs of vigorous growth or you can kill her.
