25-50g for a week, weigh them down will get you there

With the pellets, I usually just dump them in. With flowers, I try to put them in some sort of cloth or paint bag (sanitized of course) and treat it like a tea bag.

If you are worried about hop sediment when throwing in the pellets (which I usually am) I would consider transferring once more right before you go to bottle/keg. You don't have to let it sit over night or anything, just let all the sludge settle during secondary and leave it at the bottom while transferring. This way, the beer is more drinkable and less "sedimenty".
