These girls are 5 weeks old from seed I did a 1/2 dose of nutrients using the go box from general organic. They seem to have took it well should I be feeding with every watering or not?AF794C17-CBC8-4306-B162-11E1DDC3B9E5.jpeg0E0950ED-9E56-4D69-B95E-9654A515A7FA.jpegF0F826D6-4561-4EC7-9681-839613E8F275.jpegAF794C17-CBC8-4306-B162-11E1DDC3B9E5.jpeg0E0950ED-9E56-4D69-B95E-9654A515A7FA.jpegF0F826D6-4561-4EC7-9681-839613E8F275.jpeg

Personally i would not feed every watering, remember these companies want you to use as much of their product as possible. To water in between is good because you flush the excess nutrients/ salts that build up from the use of nutes

When you over or under feed, you should know within a day or two if the plants are content or not.

so its cool that you got the the box of nutrients, I personally like to feed every other watering followed by a flush every two weeks. You really dont have to go to the special nutrients next time, salt based fertz are perfectly fine. Jacks is your friend however if you dont have access to such simple 20-20-20 for veg followed by 5-15-35 or something similar is perfectly fine.

Here's a link I really like that provices a basic understanding of the various nutrients that plants use. It doesn't get into measurements, but it'll help guide you when you begin researching various nutrient manufacturers. Be sure to click the "How to spot" buttons below each specific nutrient for more information and for diagnostic info.

Dude! I'm so glad you asked this. First outdoor grow for me and I'm trying to figure out how often to give nutrients and even watering. I don't want to over water or nuke the plants but it's a bit of work to find that happy medium.

You can feed every watering with diluted nutrients. This is based on strains susceptibility to nutrients and how fast they are growing. Organic nutrients are much more forgiving. Dilute the nutrients based on recommended guidelines. If it says 10ml a week. Try splitting that into 3 watering of 3ml. Try just water every so often so you dont get salt buildup. I would recommend switching to 100% organic if you dont have the experience, over feeding wont burn your plants as easily.

I'm using the GO box as well and I'm finding that I have to pH the nute solution because it's insanely acidic.

I love the nutrient line and I won't switch it out but the pH issue is annoying.

General Organics also recommends that after two uses of weekly nutrients to use straight water to flush every third week.
