how much bloodmeal to half gallon containers?

Ok, so i have 2 plants with 34 days total from seed. Theyre doing pretty good (no deficiencies/pH problems)
and i bought some miracle gro, organic choice bloodmeal ( i read around and found out it actually works ) and was wondering how much bloodmeal per half gallon containers (as the title states), they dont have any problems but i was thinking if adding maybe a tiny amount of it would boost their grow? i have a picture of them when they were younger so u can get an idea of the size of the pots they're in.
(The pots are pretty much 1 gallon milk/juice containers cut in half with black duct tape around them. With holes at the bottom for drainage.) any advice will be appreciated.

Maybe a quarter tea spoon mixed in to the top inch-inch and a half of soil evenly then watered in. Blood meal is very potent stuff you will burn them if you go hard.

I use a tbsp in 2 galons of water for my teas when I use it.

i have 2 gallons of rain water in separate 1 gallon containers, and 1 gallon of distilled water.
if i wanted to make tea out of it, how much would i put in 1 gallon of rain water,
and will it affect the pH or should it be fine?

Lots and lots of great tea advice in this thread.

If you want to make a tea you will need more then just bloodmeal.

thanks for the advice, and i only have blood meal and bone meal available near me, so im prolly just gonna make blood meal tea.
Thanks for the link, and for your help. I appreciate it

Do they look like they have a nitrogen deficiency? idk their leaves are getting really light colored especially @ the bottom

no, they look fine.

The biggest mistake new growers make is trying to over correct a nonerror. The leaves at the bottom are probably burnt from hitting the soil. I honestly would leave them alone, they don't look any lighter in the photo's then the others to my eye.

The burnings were from a slight pH problem i had earlier in the grow, but got adjusted in time to not do any damage.
What i was worried about were the light color of the leaves, they are REALLY light greenish yellow. Today the very bottom ones are yellow and it looks like it's climbing. I added a quarter of a teaspoon of bloodmeal to the pots to see if it'll help. I've heard its gonna take some time to actually take effect.

I have a total of 4 small plants, and 2 seedlings that I think could be affected by light bleaching? i have two 24watt daylight (blue) cfls and two 20 watt daylight (blue) cfl; and with all that reflective shit around it.. i'm thinking that could be causing it, i turned off one of the two 20 watt cfls to see if it'll help

It does look more like a deficiency in the new pictures.

Light bleaching would be at the tops of the plants not the bottoms. It might not be getting enough light through that thicker top growth to sustain the bottom leaves.

I use the same reflective stuff and don't have light bleaching using a 400 watt hps 12 inches away. Move your lights way closer. Looks like you are about 8-12 inches off the plants? cut that in half. CFLs can be close as heck, in fact they are supposed to be, just keep a fan on the bulbs to keep them cool.

In a properly prepared organic soil the last thing you should have to worry about is PH by the way. I haven't PH'ed my water/teas since I started running organics and have had the best results yet.

let soil dry down more...heavy water in organic soil makes N uptake difficult....know how I ph my grow? looking at leaves, the more taco you see, if your soil is wet, the lower the ph. let dry down more between waterings to go through natural "lower ph to higher". if top of your container is dry it will read higher ph than a wet bottom. a good hot organic soil mix may read 7 at the top and 4 or 5 at bottom depending where in dry down you are. uber wet soils bring on necrosis as well, due to inhibited N uptake....ime

bloodmeal addition way risky

The pH problem is something that happened earlier for a bit before i transplanted, honestly i think the plant was getting root bound, they were in 5 fl oz cups for their first 3 weeks of life lmao. I knida want the tops to stretch a bit because i want light to reach all of the tops, i have like 6-7 tops from a fim, the nodes are really close together and most of the inner nodes aren't getting enough light, and i want shit ton of tops, im trying to get like at least an oz from this, for personal use the prices for quality shit where i live is like $20/gram, $60 for an eight,$120 for a quarter. I think i'd be better off growing my own.

i water them like once every 3 days. When the soil gets really dry. 1 feed them 1 liter of rainwater to each big pot. Is that enough or should i wait like 1 more day..

Yeah, i probably should have waited, i was gone last night and i was checking up on them and i was like "Holy shit these are starting to really look yellow, and then i added a quarter of a teaspoon of the bloodmeal lol but hopefully it wont fuck up my plants.

took some clones from a neighbor LOL, my neighbor has like a mini feild of 30-40 plants bunched up right next to each other looks like a big bush from far away, and they're unnoticeable (by unnoticeable i mean don't look over there and you wont notice them), but i saw em and look through them for some females and took 2 tops from him (I topped his plants so its going to help him in the long run). He literally has them right next to the sidewalk, I don't know why no one has snitched on him, but im gonna take some clones just in case someone does snitch on him. They are LITERALLY right next to a tree by the SIDEWALK. I saw them today and decided to do it when it got dark and now i have 2 clones ready to start the whole process.
