Doc, With my newbie hat on, some ?? about the instructions. I hate to admit this, but I continue to struggle with understanding your instructions. (can't wait for the new ones Example. Step Three: Vegetatative Growth. it states" "1) .5oz of E or T in one Gal of water. 2) 2ml of Tea." Further down with two red ** it says, "1 oz of T and 2ml of Tea per gallon of water are used on alternate feedings....." (T water, water, water, E, water, T, Water...

Does this mean to use the .5oz E or T/gal on one of the E and/or T feedings and then 1 oz/gal on the next E or T feeding?

And, is everything you describe based on six plants, in 7 gal pots? How does the statement "a full 4X8 tray" fit here?

And, "for those with irregular gardens... 1 oz E covers 30 sq ft". Does that mean the square footage of surface dirt of each plant? So a 7 gal pot (approx. 14'' wide) would approximate 1 sq. foot?

Again, sorry for being so dense, but I want to get this right! Thanks.

Yeah, those instructions are messed up.

A full 4x8 tray is going to have 5 or 6 plants. It's also 32 sq. ft. No need to overthink it, but I can see why you're asking, due to some of the ambiguity.

Use .5oz of Growth Energy to feed all 6 plants. Mix 2mil of Tea into that as well, again, for all 6 plants. If you're in a raised bed and it's 4x8, same deal. If you're in a commercial greenhouse and have 300 square feet....use 5 oz. Etc.

Just stick with that, as a rule of thumb: 1/2 oz feeds all 6. It can be increased up to 1.5oz without killing anything, but the results won't be much better. Certain "heavy feeders" can be fed more.

Transplant Water for seedlings and transplanted clones and all transplants
Feed Growth Energy in Veg.

When Transplanting into bloom containers, drench with Transplant Water....and on week 3 or so, use the Cat Drench, 1/2 oz per all 6 plants, etc. Use that twice in a row, then just water. Then Energy, then water, then Transplant, then water.....finish on Energy.

It's not that hard really. The earlier version of the instructions were much simpler, but I had 20 emails a day of people wanting personal lessons on everything. So I tried to write them more detailed, but they are like Chinese furniture assembly instructions now.....so bear with me please!

I've got a lot going on right now, but kits are shipping on time.
