We had the first two sunny days in a row in weeks, so I spent most it outside. I don't think you have a problem with any dilution within reason. In fact you could probably use it straight without damaging the plants, but this would be way too much nitrogen and would over stimulate the plant much like a chemical fertilizer tends to do. So you could perhaps end up with rangy plants. Plus it would be pretty expensive. Let's call this an experiment and see how it turns out. If the plants aren't adversely affect at this point several days later, you are probably OK. I would be interested in how it turns out if you think of giving us a follow-up report in a month or so. I really enjoy that you are getting your children invoved in your gardening.

Partly since I'm a new gardener, trying to learn as I go from experts like you all. Also because after I applied the first couple of gallons to my 20' x 30' garden plot according to the directions on the bottle, my 3-year-old managed to " help" me dilute the remaining concentrate. As per toddler protocol, it was an unknown amount of product in unknown amount of water. So, not wanting to waste it, I further diluted it and only judged my dilution on color. This just happened today. Now tonight I am worried I could have applied too much fertilizer. It was an 18 ounce bottle of Neptune's fish emulsion and seaweed blend (luckily a small bottle). I did end up wasting some of it. Based on your experience with these types of products and my poor quantity estimations, does it sound like my garden is at risk of over-fertilization? Thank you!
