Guys hope you don’t mind the questions but how often do you feed your plants nutrients

It depends on a lot . Age media lights etc

This is like asking what you should feed your cat without info. What type of cat? Is he a fat cat? Maybe its a lion we have no idea.

Gonna have to be more specific. Are you currently growing ?

Questions are encouraged, even if they get repetitive. But details are needed for better answers

Coco grow: every gawddamn day. Twice a day if they get too big.

This and what nutrients are you wanting to feed?

I'm hydro using 5 gal buckets and expanded clay pellets. Every time they need water they get food. Top off thru the week. Total change out of res every weekend

He didn't ask how often he should feed.........he asked how often we feed.
I feed once per day in veg and twice per day in flower.
Like everyone above has said.........you need to provide more info about your grow.

I miss-interpreted it then.

I feed every 3 days in DTW, as i only have to water every 3 days with my particular setup.

Permanently feeding them in NFT

Every watering in promix hp. Usually half strength.

every 30 minutes for 15 seconds from 1/3 of the day

Few times

Once a day in three gallon pot with coco always use nutrients or compost tea very rarely do I use straight water

I fertilize every time I water which is once or twice a day in 3 gallon cloth bags under both HID and LED Quantum boards.

I use General Hydroponics Lucas formula at 1/3 strength (2.5mls floramicro and 5.0mls florabloom per gallon).

In late veg. and early bloom when they are growing fast they need more nitrogen so I add fish emulsion (both to soil and as a foliar feed). At 2 tsp. per gallon for about a 2 week period of time. For foliar- I take them away from the grow lights and do not put them back until they dry. If I dont supplement with the fish during fast growth they turn yellow on me.

I dont flush but cut off their nutes about a week before harvest then cut off their water about 3 days prior to harvest....................

How to fertilize is probably the most critical part of my grow. It has been confusing how to interpret all the different ways and materials that are out there...... but when it gets down to it- you got to go with something and you got to do your homework before you come up with a good plan.

If you don't come up with a good plan for your type of grow then you just become a part of someone else's plan..................

It is a very good question and there does not seem to be an easy or simple answer until you get a harvest or 2 under your belt................
