Watering schedule

[Kevingm1987]

Hello there

Another question from my first grow. I’m growing in soil mixed with perlite in 5 gallon fabric pots. My two plants appear to be healthy and just started the flowering stage.

My question has to do with watering. I have decided to water once with nutes then once without and so on. The issue I have though is, the feeding chart supplied on GWE mentions weekly feedings but my plants are only requiring one watering a week at the moment. So do I give nutes every time or still skip every watering?

Nutes are GH trio plus calimagic. I just picked up calimagic but plan on adding it to every water feeding.

One of two plants suffered slight nute burn last Sunday so fed just PH’ed water and calimagic this morning till 10-20% run off

thanks

There seem to be as many opinions and methods as there are growers, and lots of ways will work. I feed with every watering, but very diluted so as not to burn.

The plant will eat more and transpire more as it grows, so it will need both more water and more fertilizer. (Just for reference, my scrogged White Widow in coco, which is approaching harvest, uses a quart and a half of water a day.)

Ordered coco for my next grow. Looking forward to trying it

Hey Kevingm1987 pretty much the same setup as I have. I water like this - nutes/nutes/flush - flush with whatever you want. I use a product called Killer Tea.

I think it does - and if kept in a plastic container, I think it would also absorb all that bad stuff in the plastic. Bad to us, probably bad for plants. My $.02

I think I read in another feed that you mentioned you were from the lower mainland. Is there anywhere to buy killer tea? Or do you order online? I will be mindful about how long I keep nutrients in plastic jug for

Local hydroponic store will have it.
