I gook your post to mean that you put out "4 gallons for 12 plants" to mean 4 gallons of TTF or about 384 ounces of TTF per plant and that is what I meant by a boat load. Now, I'm thinking you meant you put out 4 gallons of diluted fertilizer (1 tablespoon per gallon) than that seems fine to me.

Oh.
That would be a very expensive mistake. I use 1/4 cup to make a 4 gal batch for a 1:256 dilution. Divided among 12 plants, thats 1/3 gal or about 43 oz per plant. I suspect that amount will increase as the plants gets bigger and the temps increase.

I syphon the 4 gallons thru the drippers, and its done in about 25 minutes. Usually when I water I run the drippers several hours. Perhaps Im overwatering in general?
