Hi all,

As some of you know I am very new to this and some of my seedlings have grown recently (pics posted in different threads).

Now I am about to use below fertilizer on some of these where true leaves have grown. I calculated the amounts and everything according to which I should basically include .65 ml of this fertilizer in 950 ml of water. Now is my calculation correct or not? I feel like it's too too less and hence asking you expert.

Thank You as Always!!

[FYI - the ones I have true leaves on are Mimosa Tree Seeds and couple of Flame Tree Seeds (delonix regina). Attaching current pics of plants too.

I did not figure your calculation but I would just mix 1/2 tsp to 1 gallon of water. I would wait at least another month before you started fertilizing those plant though.

Instead of trying to convert teaspoons to milliliters, just use a measuring spoon...lol

I also agree it's a little too soon

Fert mix does not need to be ultra precise. Makers have already factored in users who may not be good at measuring.
Your calculations are correct but you can round the measurement off a little. For these purposes a qt is close enough to 1 litre so use about 1/2 ml in a litre of water if you are able to measure those tiny amounts.
Kitchen measuring spoons are easier. Use a 1/4 teaspoon measure to the litre.

You will note regular disagreement on how and when in bonsai. This usually just means both ways are OK.
I believe that fert now will be good, especially as you have used seed raising mix which is notorious for having no nutrients available.
