Seems a bit much for that small. I start with 1/8th teaspoon each and increase by 1/8th each watering. So I don’t get up to a full teaspoon for about 16-20 days. But my water has high PPM (400ish) so I might be getting some nutes from that too.

Last time I went easy on the nutes and I found that I ran into trouble early on and everything was pale green. This time Im keeping it crazy simple and doseing 1 teaspoon at a time and adding calmag.
We will see how it goes. For now this little runt is finally growing lol

 

[CADBOY]

2nd time I fed same nutes as above 1 teaspoon of MC and 1 teaspoon of Calmag. Its growing and its a almost a med dark green color. Not a pale lime green. But a grass green. Showing progress Good. Lighting is at 60w, temp 30°c and lux app shows 29/31000 lux.
