My bad bro and that spazz-out ranks up there for sure.
Girls look pretty shitty today but I'm not surprised. Bag of the 4-4-4 says 1/2c is suitable for 5g-ish. I top dressed that much into the soil and mixed in 2 evenings ago. @GNick55 mentioned maybe 3/4g each since pots likely only filled up 80-85% since ran out of soil. Was going to run around and feed them all 1/2 of 3/4g then let that soak in and come back around.
It is still 8 in the morn here so I think I should start watering. Does anyone advise adding anything to the tap water I'm to use? Cal-mag, etc. or just straight fk it and hope the tap and 4-4-4 is all they need/want? Any thoughts appreciated
Half a cup = 8 tablespoons. That's barely anything.
The base recommendation is 3 tablespoons per GALLON of soil. I am using 4 tablespoons per gallon this run (I have even been doing more, 2 cups per 7 gallon pot = 32 tablespoons in total every 4 weeks)
Nothing to stress about brotha! Can I see some pics of the plants before you start adding more stuff and mucking with your water? Chances are they just need more veg nutes and some Epsom or something else.
PT -- what are the yellow arrows? Secret code? Cool mixture of beans in this grow. As Lynyrd Skynyrd once said, "Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies."fkin A lol I waited for a reply and never got a notification and kept looking then gave up/in. Shit oh well ok so 1/2c is likely not enough roger that. Too late this watering because I fed them all 12cups(3/4g)ish each pretty much 1c at a time.
Do you advise I add maybe 1-1.5c 4-4-4 next watering maybe a week from now or no?

They look so comfortable in their final pots.
Looking nice and healthy too!!!
Not really but thanks anyways!!!Means a lot from someone who Rules Roots but also is an all around real fkin badass dude.
Glad to be gettin yo know ya bud and thanks very much
Stay in your lane homreNot really but thanks anyways!!!
YOOO brotha. That sucks I did not see this till now. Notifications been jacked up for weeks it seems.Looking much better brotha! You are STILL being shy with your feed amounts though
1 cup of the good stuff every 4 weeks per 5 gallon pot! Oh and I can start to see some magnesium def creeping in. Give them 2-4 tablespoons each top dress, even if you aren't watering for a few days.

Yeah that plant in the solo I gave away Monday. It was hard to top dress it anymore because it was filled almost to top and I had already added some 4-4-4 to her twice. She was an extra SNS(Saturday Night Special) in case the other didn't germ. She gone meow though and in the backyard of a friend named Bud.
These right now. Do you see any deficiency or need for more 4-4-4? I gave them 1/2c, watered and waited a week, then 1.5c and watered and now tomorrow is 6 days. Best to mark calendar for 4 weeks from last top dress and plan for 2c more each?
Dude there is a gorilla trying to rip off your plants, maybe he's a bathing ape, cant tell from this angle. Stop eating bananas.YOOO brotha. That sucks I did not see this till now. Notifications been jacked up for weeks it seems.

Aw thanks man means much. Oh wow ok so some boom nutes in vegwell well well....look what we got here! a mf grower
Plants are looking top notch if I must say so myself! and yes to the bolded portion of your quote :) do a 50/50 blend next top dress so 1/2 cup of each 284 and 444 (if you are still in 5 gallon pots)
Good eye. That is a sloth. It is a 2 piece tea bag holder actually. It is made of silicone and comes apart at the belly. Has holes in back. Put tea bag inside and hang into your cup to steepDude there is a gorilla trying to rip off your plants, maybe he's a bathing ape, cant tell from this angle. Stop eating bananas.
Aw thanks man means much. Oh wow ok so some boom nutes in vegI like it. 1/2c of each next top dress. Roger that and awesome
Hey I do have questions about the fabric pots. Fabric pots supposedly cause roots to sense o2 and then they shy away. This causes the tops and sides to dry out dramatically faster. People with regular plastic pots are able to grow just fine so it must not be a necessity. It brings me to something from last grow and I think you asked about it when I wrapped the sides with a garbage bag.
So I will try to be more clear about where I'm going with this. I'm trying to see or hear of the benefits of the fabric pots on the sides. I've used 3, 5, and 7g of different brands every grow and all I've found is it causes the sides to dry out fastest and makes the soil more hydrophobic.
This company makes grow bags specifically about what I'm saying. I have 4 x 20g I haven't used yet. Can you please read the snippet about them and give me your thoughts on why they would make the inside liner waterproof if it was a bad thing. Because if I wrap my fabric pots in plastic bags on the outside it is pretty much the same thing but ghetto

I think you're over-thinking it!
But at the end of the day everyone has different environments so what works for me might not be ideal for you. I use fabric pots for many reasons, the primary one being the faster dry back. Another benefit is that I go from fully saturated to dry-as-mouse-turd every 2 nights like clockwork. I like that the roots can get oxygen through the sides of the pot when the bottom is wet or blocked off you aren't just relying on tiny holes for air intake. I like that I can bottom water 75% of the volume and rely on the fabric to just wick it up.
similar benefits to airpots breathing everywhere....
Roger that and makes much sense thanks. Do you recall roughly when you started bottom watering in veg? If I recall from a video of when first saw that you bottom fed at all, I think they were definitely more mature then mine are no?I think you're over-thinking it!
