Nitrogen deficiency - how much Nitrogen do I have to add?

Hi,

my plants have some Nitrogen deficiencies and I bought a bottle of Canna Mono Nitrogen.

The bottle states: Contains 27% N. (Contains: ammonium 6%, amid nitrogen 11% and nitrate 10%). Use 1-2ml/l.

I used 0.5ml/l and my EC rose from 1.2 to 1.6. As it was a bit high for my taste I diluted the solution immediately with fresh RO water to EC 1.3.

How much Nitrogen are you using if you experience Nitrogen deficiencies? I can also work with EC values if you can state any.

I hope you can help me out.
 
bingo.......r/o water removes everything...calcium....nitrogen...magnesium....all the good stuff........filtered water doesnt as much.....when you r/o water, be prepared to have to add supplemental nutrients. as a rule of thumb, use less than the bottle says to use.

I run slightly over 100PPM Nitrogen.

I like to use a little less than the bottle says. Also give it about 4 days to see the change and you can always feed again.
