Hi Four, I just think the original poster, ( hi Kandhi) and others were questioning this product coming from this certain company were tampered with and possibly of it being diluted. Also to hear of others experiences.... It's just nice to hear that others have the same issues and it if they had the same sealed container . It's not a matter of whether it is just an easy seal to open , but if the product is truly what it is supposed to be . I think this was the intended discussion and to see if others have had these same experiences . Some people think / feel like it isn't the true product . So most of us are replying to the questions to let them know our experiences. That was my " intended meaning " to add to the discussion what mine was like some of the others and that some are " sealed or not sealed" Hope this helps the original poster!! Have a good day!

For my garden Meyers I would thin that cluster to 4; and later to 3 or 2 depending on the strength of the limb. Meyers do not do a good job of self-thinning until about 5 years; before that, if you leave too many fruits, the tree will "forget" to grow.

Math Error in First Post added Correction. The TDS in Foliage Pro Solution must be much higher than approximated. Edit: Math Error 1tsp= 4.94 ml 4.94grams at sp=1 1US Gal = 3.785411784 liters (0.18)*(4.94g/4)/3785= 235ppm Error Should be (0.18)*(4.94g/4)/3785= 58.7ppm at conversion factors of 500 ppm/mS or 640 ppm/mS 58.7ppm/500= 117uS or 58.7ppm/640= 91.7uS Too Low to be accurate "Edit: Math Error 1tsp= 4.94 ml 4.94grams at sp=1 1US Gal = 3.785411784 liters (0.18)*(4.94g/4)/3785= 235ppm Should be (0.18)*(4.94g/4)/3785= 58.7ppm at conversion factors of 500 ppm/ms or 640 ppm/ms 58.7ppm/500= 117uS or 58.7ppm/640= 91.7uS Too Low to be accurate "Not sure I'd have been comfortable with the assumptions behind the "total" ppm approximation" You were Correct on that Maybe others that use Foliage Pro can validate the EC readings with other meters. Even at 320 grams/Liter 1/4 tsp/Gal gives only about 105ppm total concentration. This is about 164 uS at 640 factor.

If you are fertilizing biweekly, then follow the label instructions - 2 tsp per gallon. And how much you apply to each plant will depend on how large the containers are - you want to thoroughly water the container with the dilute fert, not just drizzle in a gallon or so of water! Start with as large a container for the diluted fert as you can handle - a 5G bucket or large watering can (figure the volume the can holds first) - and add the fert in an appropriate proportion. I tend to round up slightly so for a 5G bucket, I'd add a scant 1/4 cup of fert. And in a container situation, it is never too soon to fertilize :-)
