How much food

[7vicsmcc]

I mix up 6 gals. of f grow, micro and calmag. How much should be used in a 7 gal. bag?

Depends what your medium is. To get the correct amount of nutrients without burning or locking out your plant with a deficiency I recommend using a tds/ec meter. You can adjust it as you go. 6 gallons for a 7 gallon pot is too much, I use 2 gallons in a 10gallon and get 5-10% run off. Feeding all depends what you're growing in and how much food is already present along with stage of growth. The ec/tds meter will give you numbers you can use along with your feed chart to get the best results. I believe every grower that's not using living soil (super soil) should invest in a meter. My 2¢ ✌

Last years grow was in the dreaded miracle grow. 1st time grow netted over a pound so not really going to get anal with it all. 6 gals is not for 1 pot. Since I can't sell my legally grown weed and rarely smoke I won't be buying any more equipment.
I'll go with a gal. per bag and see what happens I guess. Do I really want up to 10% waste? Buying nutrients was a stretch for me.
Thanks for your post
