Question...When watering with Nutes........

[Insight]

is it ok if you get the leaves wet with the nutrient mixture? I'm following the Nute mix that NebulaHaze suggests for growing in coco.

Thanks.

It's not recommended but wort case scenario you could end up with a few ugly spots on those leaves

Get a watering can with a good nose on it...usually plastic. I like to bicycle spoke water with it....or pin wheel. That way the medium get even feed while watering / feeding below the canopy.
Have a great grow!

Not recomended to spill on to the plant itself but if you want since you already did you can lightly wash the developed leaves some with very watered down dawn dish soap. I wouldnt mess with the growth tips much could just maybe rinse off with ph'd water. Id say your probably fine though

Yeah great idea. Maybe even with an atomizer

Thanks for all the responses. When I watered yesterday I did get some of the Veg 3 week nute mixture on the leaves...watered like it was raining...but then thought I remembered reading about NOT getting it on the leaves. I just checked, it's over 12 hours later and all seems well. I'll keep this in mind next time I water.

Thanks again.

The girls are 31 days old. I definitely lost some "growth time" by manifolding, but in the end, I hope to maximize my yield.

They look like they are coming along nicely!

Plants look well worth a 6$ watering can..sprinkle on or off leaves) I find to be least effective. Especially when getting your runoff/waste. Watering can with nose does it slowly enough ( I feed two 5 gals at a time-each gets 2 gals one at a time-the run off occurs well. Drain, Dump, Drain again and back to tent

Tika ...I'm using this watering can...I had left the "spinkler" head on it, but it can easily be removed and then I can just use the spout...Thanks

I also find that 2 gallons gives enough runoff when filling 5 gallon smart pots.

That will work fine but you might find this shape more manageable to fil & water with-plastic also
