1 ounce/gallon.
The flow rate can vary depending on your home's water pressure. Most homes are between 60-80PSI. If your pressure is in this range, the flow rate out is approximately 25-30 seconds per gallon. So what that means in terms of using it is you will get from one ounce of fertilizer about ±30 seconds of fertilizing time to disperse it.
