Yep going through that right now wasn't watching ppm in the run off holy hell it was over 2000ppm I wonder why my tips were starting to brown lol getting the ladies back on track. that's what I get for "I'm not going to watch ppm"Every strain is different, iv had some damn near die on me from only 650ppm and others thrive at 1200..... I try to take those feeding charts with a grain of salt and watch the numbers because numbers don’t lie..... if you’re feeling something 1450 ppm‘s and your runoff it’s higher than 1450 ppm‘s by a fair amount then you are putting things into the route zone that they are not taking up and thus wasting money
First and foremost I greatly appreciate the information. I’m Luvin the support here. So back to the watering @Buddernugs im a little thrown off the watering. I thought you were supposed to water %20 of the container size, so if it’s 50 gallons you give it 9 gallons of feed?!?!? please correct me if I’m wrong. I also have learned that it’s best to feed plants based off soil moisture??!? I’m questioning myself now, hopefully I got some of this right. I love the idea on using the 10ml syringe seems efficient but I’m using granulated feed so there goes that.Also u wana aim for 20% run off so if u give them 1 gal per pot, you want roughly 1 L dumping out the bottom of the pot. Don’t go by volume of the pot itself if you have a 5 gallon pot and it takes 5 gallons of water to get runoff do you want to long without watering I water mine once every three days during the first two weeks of their life after that it’s every day once the stretch stops it’s twice a day..... if you can afford it I highly suggest buying some drip clean .4ml per gal so it lasts a long time also get yourself some 10 mL syringe it’s the best way to measure on small scale grows back in the day when I was a small fry I get a lumbar needle talk it through each of my feeds in my nutrient containers so when I had to use them all I had to do was put the needle in shake it tipped it upside down and measured my dose...... if you go that route here’s a tip you’re going to need two needles because the first one you use to make all the holes is going to be plugged up with plastic and you’ll never get it out so keep that one separate and hang onto it so next time you get a bottle you can use that one to poke a hole through it
You just water whatever it takes to get about 20% of the water to come out as run off. Depends how often you feed them and how dry they’ve gotten.
Ok got it thanks definitely good to know . I mean I like to water them when the soil seems to have very light moisture when dippin the tip of your finger in, is that ideal? Or is alright to water them while the soil seems damp??You just water whatever it takes to get about 20% of the water to come out as run off. Depends how often you feed them and how dry they’ve gotten.
Sheesh at your least got an answer how to figure how much gallons of water needed per plant ?I’m a pure coco grower so I can’t help you my friend,sorry.
