Water/nutes in flower

[BudsAlive]

Howdy, so plant still coming along great, just goin in flower,
Coco perlite vermiculite medium
Been adding canna a&b
pH 5.6/6
So yesterday I hit them with canna a&b as usual plus PK 13/14.
Looking lovely today.
So anyway was reading on other forums and they were saying to feed and water every day to run off when in flower ?
I normally let them dry out to 3" below the soil line. Which takes about 3/4 days,
So should I be feeding and watering every day?
* Confused *

Thought I'd add a pick as I'm so pleased to have got them this far

Yes once root system is established you should be watering to run off once per day through veg and flower. Some people water more. I was stuck with slow growth until I took advice from some of the pros around here. You will get soil like growth rates if you allow it to dry out like soil. You will get hydro like growth rates if you keep fresh nutrient supply by watering and flushing out salt build up.
I was having a hard time grasping this concept to in fear of drowning the roots. I even transplanted them early to check the root structure and they blew me away.
A Joe Schmoe that’s been killing it in coco wants to know how I got roots that big and healthy so fast. He too only waters when they mediumish dry out. but the proof is in the pudding as they say.
another joe Schmoe who has been growing for 8 years in coco lets his dry out A few days or until medium dry - got the same sized rooted cutting at the same time as me and his looks like The same cutting after two weeks and mine look like a mini bush.

I can’t stress it enough if your roots are established in your medium and your plants are happy with what you are doing they will grow twice as fast with more watering. Some dwc growers water 4-6 times per day!

Do they look awlful ?

 

[bunkerking]

They look pretty decent imo, just streched abit. Not anywhere close to "awful"...

[bunkerking]

Is that a Shed heater? You over in Europe?

 

[BudsAlive]

Hahaha yes in stealth mode That is indeed a greenhouse heater

 

[BudsAlive]

The light is a T5 4 tube seems to be doing the job.

[BudsAlive]

I got it on Amazon I think. Yes

 

[BudsAlive]

So if I'm watering every day, is that with nutes as well or just water?

In coco - nutrients every time. You never want to use plain water with coco, ever.

Ok , thanks, I've been adding canna A&B and now they're in flower, I'm also adding PK 13/14 . They look great, so carry on watering every day with this mix until flush ?
