How Do You Dose Flourish?

Hi, I was given some flourish comprehensive and I was wondering how to dose it. I have never used plant ferts before and all it says on it is how much to dose. I know it doesn't have potassium or phosphorous, but it was free so it's certainly much better than nothing. I will be wanting to get an all in one fertilizer, but not till I'm out of this (I mean, my plants have been growing without any fertilizer up till now so it's not like it's gonna hurt them)

I use a little medicine syringe thing to make sure I get the proper millimeter amount. I dose about 2x a week, just whenever I remember. I have really soft water, so I'm lacking a lot of macros (which plants need a lot of, but flourish doesn't have any), but even with just dosing comp (micros) I can see increased growth in my fast growing plants. It's significant enough for me to keep dosing
Edit: also nigloc thrive is a really strong all in one, dose less than it says, lol, trust me. Plus it lasts longer that way

So do I just put it in there? Do I need to put it in the filter or add it when I do a water change or anything?

So I need about a half of a milliletre for my tank, right? a full, proper dose for a 10 gallon tank (according to the bottle) would be about 0.8 of a millimeter, and my tank is 10 gallons but it's very lightly planted so I figured a half of a milliliter would be perfect.

Sure, I think you could go a full ml for one of the doses per week if you wanted. Since it's lightly planted, I agree 0.5 ml is probably a great dose.
And yes, nothing special, just put it in.

I agree with what Rtessy said. I just wanted to add that you should be dosing an NPK fertilizer as well, because Flourish lacks macronutrients.
