Do about 7.5ml per litre or 7.5ml to two litres just to be safe. Although that to me is still alot. I would usually put in 2ml per 2 litres, hope i havent confuesed you more man.
 
That chart is showing how many mL to add per 100 liters of mix. So for 1 liter, just divide by 100. For an 11 liter pot you should be feeding about 4 liters to get sufficient run off.

thanks. the soil level has gone down a few inches so will have lost a few litres of volume, so i gave it 3 litres with 1ml of nute per litre, which should be a quarter strength dose. ph going in was 6.4 and the runoff was 6.2, so am i right in assuming the soil ph is about 6.3? thanks for the help!

edit: i divided 396 by 100 to get 3.96, i just rounded that up to 4 which is i believe a full strength dose, i divided that by 4 to get a quarter strength dose which was 1ml per litre. was i right in doing this??

Yes, the soil always settles and compacts a bit during the grow. You can always add a bit more to top them off.

Yep, your math is good, that would be 1/4 strength. Work you way up to 1/2. Most autos won't tolerate much more than that.

I'm old school with measurements so the litre and ml stuff is still hard for me to figure.I still like the good old ounce,gal, and tsp,tbl method.Same goes for tools, I still like inches and feet and that metric shit just made me spend more on tools.
