New Grower Question about how the girls eat?

[Coffee Monster]

im trying to understand how a plant deals with fertilizer.
If I put say 2cc of say AN bloom fert in a half liter of water we will have for the sake of arguement a high EC/ppm value and the plant may burn.
However if I put the same 2cc in a gallon of water it will have a low EC/ppm and will not (?) burn the plant.
We are assuming each pot will hold the given quantity of water without runoff.
Where I'm confused is the plant is receiving the same total amount of nutes, so unless they're lost in run off...or?

I've been focusing on the "dose" not the dilution

I'm hydro, but will call my muddy friends...

I don't know alot about the science of it but I know that plants uptake nutrients at there desired rate I will ask @Waira or @arty zan they could answer better

Yeah man! Don't flippin' ask us! What ya think we are? Experts?

And Lady, I sent you a message yesterday!

Plants and medium do a cation exchange of atoms or molecules in order for the plant to feed. We dilute nutes in water to make them available for the plant. The medium is negatively charged & holds onto the positively charged nutes with electrostatic charge. The plant gives off a positive hydrogen atom I exchange of receiving a positive nute ion. Having too many positive nute ions in the soil burns the plants because they don't have enough hydrogen to exchange and get overloaded at the roots.
I'm sure Waira & Arty will come in with more correct information.

Well put, exactly how it all works. In regards to the dilution, think of it as in osmosis the nutrients flow from an area of high concentration (your high EC mix) to an area of lower concentration (inside the plant roots) through a semipermiable membrane (root epidermis and root hairs). Your high EC in the medium makes the plant uptake more nutes than it needs, the plant tries to store the excess nutes and creates nute burn. The more and longer the plant tries to store excess nutes, the worse the nute burn gets.
