Advice needed for fertilising +rep

So I recently purchased canna-tera fertiliser and was wondering, after I have diluted it how many ml's would I put into a 1 gallon pot? I don't have a ppm or ec meter so I'm going to have to do this by estimate. Any idea's?
Cheers in advance.

Sorry it's actually terra-vega by canna. It's a range popular in hydro but they make ferts for soil as well.

Don't have to dilute twice. I was wondering after I have diluted the solution how much I should add to a 1 gallon pot. 500ml's? 200? I'm growing in soil + perlite & vermiculite.

lol I do now. Very interesting : )

jus stay on the low side and keep bumpin it up till you start to see slight signs of nute burn then back off a hair !!!

Start with 200-300 ml. Ideally have a tray under ur pots to catch any run off and just add 100-200ml every minute or 2 until it starts running out the bottom. Any liquid left in the catchment tray will soon be absorbed by the soil/plant or evaporate. If ur plant is only small (seedling or freshly rooted clone) 200-300ml around it's base should be enough until it is better established. Remember to let the soil dry fairly well between each watering. Try to avoid making the newbie-overwatering mistake ... I made that mistake once... Didn't make it twice! haha. Hope this helps!

Oh and Canna products kick ass! But they are on the expensive side :s ... Good luck tho.

Good to know they kick ass thought paying a little extra wouldn't hurt considering what I payed for the set-up :S thx again.

I use 1 gallon pots for most of veg, and 1/2 liter is about perfect. Get's them right to the point where you'll get a few trickles coming out of the bottom of the pot, which is what i always shoot for.


And as GreenPhoenix stated...use less if the plants are small, because they don't process nowhere near as much water as a bigger plant, and could suffer from overwatering.
