I've posted a few times, they were being underwatered, then I gave them too much feed.

They are near the end, they are in week 10 of flower.

You would be amazed and how hard that is to actually accomplish. Overwatering is from frequency not from volume in most cases - especially in fabric pots with lots of porosity. Once the top soil is dry I know my plants need some water.

So should I water if the top 1/2inches are dry then? I normally do it by weight, its amazing how light they can get.

Yep. It gets to a point where you can just tell by looking at the colour of the top soil. Top soil dry -> water until a small amount of runoff. And then after a while you'll notice your plants get into a rhythym and they will start to demand the same amount of water every X amount of days. And then after a certain point in flower they will start to demand less water which will signify getting close to the finish line.

Especially important in organic grows to not let your soil completely dry out otherwise you start killing good things.

Good to know, thank you sooooo much. For my second grow I will be following your gaiagreen feed guide.
