I suggest half of the dosage on bottle to start with, after you see the proper growth, start increasing the dose.

Sure will follow the same. Also dosing should be done when lights on or off?

Thank you Partha and Sushant, you guys have been very helpful. I'm totally lost on micros and macros. Have never used them
