Default Grow More Fertilizer

Just received this today and the instructions for use are confusing. Does anyone know the quantity of use in terms of tablespoon/teaspoon per gallon for potted plants? Thanks very much.

Grow More manufactures over 400 different fertilizer formulas. Which one did you receive?

I have the 16 8 24 formula. That's the only identifiable description on the package. Instructions are for someone that has many acres of crops and not for the hobbyist. What is the amount to be used for 1 plant for 1 feeding. I'M assuming that I would follow the outdoor container plant, but what is the meaning of ppm? Just need simple instructions please.
Thank you

Thank you
For a container plant, I recommend 3 feedings per year during the active growing season -- for example April, Jun, August. Use the rate of 1 teaspoon per gallon. Use only as much water as needed for a single regular watering and discard the rest.

For further details please see the attached PDF document.
