I will have two cannabis plants in one 300 gallon container which has about 250 gallons of soil (bottom layer is drainage layer of plastic bottles, etc).
I want to use Jack’s outdoor 18-8-23 nutrients next year; do I base the dose on how many gallons it takes to saturate that 250 gallons of soil? For instance, the nutrient dosing directions may say 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. If it takes 20 gallons or more to saturate the soil would I then use 20 tablespoons in 20 gallons of water? It seems like so much for two plants. I always worry about over feeding and so far in two grows I’ve underfed both times, but at different times. Live and learn. That’s the fun of it for me. Oh, and the end product. Lol. If my understanding is incorrect, please tell me how to dose for such a large container? Also, I have read the watering stickies on this site, but I would love for somebody who has grown in a large soil container outdoors to guide me on proper watering procedure and nutrient dosing procedures. Thank you all in advance for any advice.
