liquid karma-how much?

[emmy75]

hi
i want to use liquid karma in my next watering which is about 8 days away. i just watered today after 10 days, which was 2 days too long. i was suprised at that cause my plants are in a five gallon pot and the temps are in the mid 70's. but i will only wait 8 days next time. anyway the bottle says to use 2tsp per gallon. i water with a one gallon bottle. should i add the 2tsp to my gallon/h20. or it will it be too much for my first veg nute supplement. if two tsp is too much how much per gallon will be enough. im actually in my sixth week of veg but because i planted in poor soil the plant didnt grow much at all for the first four weeks. when i water next the plant will have been in new soil for 18 days.
thanks

2 tablespoons per gallon. I start using LK at germination (1 drop in about 50 ml to soak the seeds in for 8 hours to start germination before I plant them in soil).

I use LK again at about 2nd week in veg. 1 tablespoon along with 1 tablespoon of Pure Blend Grow per gallon.

After week 4 I increase the dosage to 2 tablespoons per gallon. Use it every other watering till late flowering.

I feed Liquid Karma starting with seedingls at 1/4 the recommended strength on the bottle (5ml per gallon). Through veg I'll feed as high as 1/2 strength (10ml per gal) every watering. In flower I could pretty much go full stength, but I very rarely go above 3/4 as I feed every watering, and have come to notice that most additives/ferts on the market would overdose if used as directed... I have used liquid karma as an additive now for two different feeding regiomens I have use, and never have had a problem using it as stated above.

Mackawber: you wrote you use 2tablespoons. did u mean tsp? because thats what the bottle suggests for veg phase.

Follow the directions on the label on the bottle.

I've always used a capful for every gallon. It's there and it's handy.

I actually used 2 tablespoons (30 ml.) of Liquid Karma per gallon! Yikes! But it didnt seem to hurt the plants. No signs of burned tips. Using FF LW soil with ammendments. Maybe I should throttle back and not overboost!

I'am a big proponent of LK AND mAXI CROP..Use both extensively.During veg you could use 1tsp per gallon at every watering of Lk without any probs.During bloom the plant is really going through the nutes..Macros,secondaries,and Micros.During the second phase,2teaspoons is all I ever need per/gallon.My strain is a very hungary Indica Dominant..and they do jst fine.NOW if you have more sativa in the mix..watch for leaf-tip burn...or the ''Claw''=lEAF that looks like a scary monster coming to grab you!!!..haha.That is a classic sign of too many ppm's.

I dunno about you guys, but the heaviest dose on my bottle is 10-12ml per liter. Thats 2-2.25 tsp per gallon on the high side.

But reguardless of how much it says to use, you wont get the full benifits if your PPM's are jacked up higher than whats absorbable by the plant. Another reason why quality, low ppm water is so important. Unusable nutes locking out other nutrients giving yourself more problems.

Anyways, I like LK alot. Its like a gentle, well ballanced supplement. I adjust the amount added by how much more PPM my plants can use.
