Great White feed chart: 1 teaspoon per 10 gallons for reservoirs, 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons of water for soil

How to use Great White in every garden

One powder, two ways to use it. Whether you're starting seeds on a windowsill, planting tomatoes in a raised bed, or running a water-based system, Great White goes in the same way: straight to the roots. Here are the rates, the timing, and the answers to the two questions everyone asks.

Soil, beds and containers: mix and water in

Stir 1 teaspoon of Great White into 2 gallons of water, then pour it at the base of each plant so it soaks into the root zone. Use about this much solution per plant:

Container Solution per plant
4 in pot 3 oz
1 gal 5 oz
3 gal 16 oz
5 gal 32 oz

Planting something new? Water it in with the same solution right after transplanting so the microbes land where new roots will grow.

Water-based systems: add to the reservoir

Add 1 teaspoon per 10 gallons of water every time you change the reservoir. Stir it in and let it circulate.

How often

Repeat every 2–3 weeks, from the first feed through harvest. The earlier you start, the sooner the fungi and bacteria are working alongside the roots.

The two questions everyone asks

Can I use it with my regular fertilizer? Yes. Great White works alongside your normal feeding program — just apply it to the root zone as above.

Can I use too much? The label rates are all you need. More powder won't speed things up; staying consistent every 2–3 weeks does.
