The reason I was kinda vague is because there is no "exact" rules with Maxsea. If you follow the label directions you will be fine. I have found Maxsea to be very forgiving & you can adjust usage up & down as desired. I have seen guy's do well just using it occasionally as a booster to their regular feeding, to guy's raging it triple dosing (3tlb per gl) and growing MONSTERS!...what I gave you were the general guidelines I follow when using Maxsea. I add Epsom salts about every other feeding, you can use more, you can use less, depending on how green your plants are. A little Epsom will get them nice & green but don't over do it, start with every other week & increase if they aren't staying green for the entire 2 weeks...good luck
edit: I tend to stick with label directions (1tbl per gl) & increase frequency, rather than upping the doseage...
