General Organics Grow Box + When to feed / water and flush?

I bought the general organics grow box for soil. I'm curious if im doing everything right. I'm doing exactly 1/2 of what the feed chart says online for the GO box. Is that the goal?

Also... when should I feed and flush? How MUCH water should go into a 3 gallon pot?

I've been feeding every time the soil is dry 3 inches down into my pot. Is there another method? I can't do the "test the weight" method... doesn't work for me. How deep into the soil should be dry when I give more water?


Should I feed nutrients everytime I water? Or alternate?

What is flushing... and when should I do it? Is flushing just putting water by itself into the pot and then waiting until the soil dries out again?


I'm looking for an answer something like this:

Day 1 - Plant seed + water
Day 10 - Water + nutrients
Day 15 - Water + nutrients
Day 20 - Water + nutrients
Day 25 - Water by itself
Day 30 - Water + nutrients


And so on. Also... which nutrients you think I should use. I've been using CaMg, biothrive grow, bioweed, and bioroot thus far for veg.

Get some Fox Farm nutes. They have a detailed feeeding/watering schedule .

If your using the GO line you don't need to flush unless you burn them. Feed water, feed water.

He said he already bought the G.O. box, I'm sure he doesn't want to waste that and go buy more nutes.

As for useing G.O., I second zack66. I've used those nutes and that schedule worked well. If I remember right it says on the bottle to feed with every watering, but again, I would go with feed-water-feed etc... as suggested. Same with flushing, there's no need uness you overfed them. Ofcourse I would still advise doing a final flush at the end. As for what nutes to use when, just follow the feed chart. Be careful with the Diamondblack as it can drop your ph. Your right on with the watering, check the soil by sticking your finger about 2-4 inches down, If it feels dry, water. I would advise picking yourself up a moisture meter. This is the one I use http://www.ebay.com/itm/LUSTER-LEAF...396?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ccf6848c
You can probably buy it at Walmart too. It works well. Just stick it in the soil about 2-4 inches and when it reads less than 4, water. If you buy a different one, it should have a manuel with it telling you moisture requirments for different plants. Go by what it says for tomatos. I think that about covers it all. Good luck and Happy Growing.
