feeding every watering

Hey
So I'm week two of flower, and everthings looking very good. I'm using canna nutes. I'm following the feeding schedule and I add all the nutes for the "normal feeding" every time I water. I'm thinking maybe I should give em a break with just plain old water? Or skip the Flores and just add boost and enzym? What do you guys think?

Learn how to not follow the chart, it is just a guide. How do your plants look? are they healthy and green?

Pretty green..Some of the top growth is lookin a tiny bit light

looks great, Stay on the schedule, but you don't have to use the Full recommended amount. they usually are a little strong. we say always use 1/4 what they recommend.

1/4?? Don't these nute companies know what there doing? I'm not following what it says on the bottle but an entire grow schedule. It even calculates the ec. So according to the schedule I'm feeding them in ec of 2( 1.6+0.4) so if I went 1/4 strength it would only be 0.8(0.4+0.4).

not every strain feeds the same. some use more, some use less. the schedule as i said is just a guide. you have to do some of the work. You start at 1/4 and see how your strain responds. you add more until you find the point where it is too much and back down. it's a learning thing.

If you're feeding at 2 then whatever strain you have is really hungry...2 would burn most. Chuck's advise is right (as usual ). My personal experience is to work up to 1/2 of what they recommend and I've never really had to go beyond 1/2.

Ok. I've been feeding em full strength this whole time and they have been in perfect health just starting to turn a tiny bit green now and it's only a couple of dm.

Your plant looks amazing so I would keep doing what you're doing. In the future, try and remember this conversation though as 2 EC is very aggressive and may burn other strains.

thanks. The ec is acutually 1.8 not 2 but later on in flowering it's even 2.1. I think I'll dial it down to ~1.5 the next watering just to make sure nothing get's burned. I'm growing like 5 strains.

this is the approach I always took with bottled nutrients , starting at 1/4 to 1/2 and working up till I got slight nutrient burn them cutting back just enough to keep it super green and healthy but not spotted from overfeeding
