It says right on the website to mix 3 TBSP (4-4-4) per gallon of soil........boy that was hard.

The bloom 2-8-4 formula is premixed at the same rate as the general purpose formula above.

My thoughts exactly, it’s soil and perlite ratio.

Link it?

I would guess soil to perlite but if he means nutrients for 5 gal would be 10.5tbs 4-4-4 and 4.5tbs 2-8-4

That is a hot mix for GG. Using those rates outdoors under full sun might be ok, but indoors i think itll be a bit too hot. I think closer to half-2/3 that rate would be more appropriate.

Hey idk if you figured out the ratio but I don't think any of the answers on here are right. If you if you want a 70/30 mix you take either number and find it from your whole. So if it's 45ml per gallon then it's 225ml for 5 gallons. So you take multiple 225x.3=67.5 so a 30% would be 67.5ml and 70% would be 157.5ml. hope that helps.

No it means 70% of the 4-4-4 and 30% of the 2-8-4 bloom. And with auto he sometimes go 50/50 so 50 % of the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 of the recommended dosage per gallon. Hope this helps. Dam these peps complicate shit lol
