This is for soil based growing and the idea is not to feed the plant until the plant has eaten most of the nutrients available in the soil.

After that you can feed every time you water because the plant needs to eat and the soil has no plant food left it can provide the plant.

This is when you can feed every time but you also don't want to feed more than 600 ppm a week if you grow under a 600 watt light for example

it's like if you have a 1000 watt your limit is 1000 ppm etc.

So i use a 600 hps for our medicine needs and usually after a month of having roots in their final bucket i feed 600 ppm once a week.

if you need to water more than once a week your in to small of a container for soil media grow.

you wanna be in a container just big enough to water once a week that's the trick.

I’m in 20l fabric pots and I’m giving them water at a ph of 6.5 atm as I was giving them nutrients but they have just starting showing signs of nutrient burn ( yellow tips ) so I’m going back to just plain ph water until I flip them next Monday then going to give them half strength nutrients hope this will help with yellow tips

The minor damage will not be repaired, but you can stop it from spreading to the new growth..

Yea man and take every opportunity to observe their behaviour to tweaking different things. When they happy they reaching for the stars you'll know because they just basically grow in front of u when theyre really boomin.. don't let shit get u down I've had a more than my fair share of setbacks just keep learning and growing.. gardening is great for stress man when I used to snap always could go there n relax n smoke and level off.. plants seem to have almost their own personalities so also this sounds bat shit crazy but spend time with them listen to some music give them a thorough look and manuever some branches maybe prune a little from the lower extremeties.. some plants love to be pruned some not so much so also pay attention to the reaction upon leaf removal..

So much respect mate I do spend a lot of time with them I’ve topped them and pruned them and they look like they like it I’ve left 2 of them not micro topped if you get what I mean by that ( like topping the side branches ) I do like to see how the ladies are on a daily but will start watering / feeding every 2/3 days between

That's one reason I took my nets down..I have enough yields without them and it is so much easier to move things at will.

Only thing is that if in doubt..wait another day..neither is good, but over watering can't really be undone..Roots suffocate in too much water..fabric pots help eliminate the problems.

Notice how the leaves are pointing upwards (praying to the light). That means all is good and they are "happy".
BTW: Plz only post a few pics..I use a fast PC and it takes forever to scroll thru..LMAO

All looks great. I grow in soil also. All sound advice from these guys. Read the needs of your plants. And don't panic! I inspect tent daily. Water almost every day. Light watering. General amount will depend on container size too. I use 3gal plastic. l water a quart at the beginning of the lights on period. Little to no run off. Never concerned with percentages, but it's always good to have a general idea of what works. That's why these forums are great! Thank you fellow farmers!
Your environment will be a huge factor in water needs. Get a digital thermometer with humidity reading also. Ambient temperature and humidity will contribute to the soil moisture content. My flower tent ranges from 60°f - 75°f. Humidity 25%-35%. I rarely paid any attention to ph. Lucky to have decent water from tap. I do however try to let the water sit for a day or two before use. Believe this allows for some dissipation of chlorine. As far as nutrients goes. That all depends on how well built your soil is to begin with. I make a variation of a common Super Soil mix I found online. It has a general balance of amendments to get a plant thru with just water. I do however use a line of liquid supplemental nutrients once a week. Half dosage. The soil still has nutes in there. Anyhow, visual representation is always more interesting. This is my experience and efforts. Hope it helps.

Sorry for the rant. And I've always just used stakes in each container. Keeps things mobile. Shifting and turning plants are important for good light penetration. Scrog is good for maxing out your tops and eliminating all undergrowth. That's how you get the monster colas!
