might seem like a dumb question

so if im watering my lsd autos 3 times a week should i be spacing the nutrients out over the 3 or should 1 water be just plain ph ballanced water as ive heard different views im using foxfarm big bloom grow tiger bloom and ionik cal mag pro and planted in soil

in soil I normally feed 3 times nutes then 1 just ph water then repeat that again

all down to personal preference

I’m the opposite. I water once or twice between each feed.

so you would water 4 times a week in total?

so would you just split a whole weeks worth of nutrients between two waters? if thats makes sense

You should only water based each plants wet/dry cycle to determine when to.
Not by a set number per week.

Autos require simple methods ( for about 90 days of life average ).
Feed , water . Feed , water .... if Using nutes and at more reserved levels than photos. Autos can be overfed too easily.

Or if running a good soil like FFOF ..... First 5-6 weeks ( ph water only ) , week 6 topdress more soil water in , then water only to finish line .
Pretty god damn simple right ?

There’s really no such thing as a weeks worth of nutrients. You aren’t supposed to feed constantly unless you are growing in coco or hydro. I feed basically once a week. When I feed, I mix the nutrients at half the recommended nutrient solution to water ratio, and feed the plants until I get some runoff. Many growers feed way too much and a lot of the issues growers have are a result of over feeding.

just water when the top inch or 2 is dry,roughly every 3 dayish. feel free to send us a pm if your still stuck

This.

I tried light feedings every time but I always had build up. I switched to water at least once and if my run off ppm is still high then twice.

I feed every watering.

Not only does it work for me, it follows my love of consistency and allows for automation.

im in a 1.2/1.2 tent im curruntly running 1 viparspetra tc600w (led) got channel 1 at 100 and channle 2 at 70 and was running at 18/6 but ive change to 24/0 due to someones advise
got air coming in and out and a radiator to keep the temp between 21C and 26C hummidity at 60% and a fan ruffleing the leafs
im growing 3 barneys farm lsd auto in bog standard potting soil from diy store mixed with 15% perlite and some bone meal to bring the soil ph to 6.5 in 5gl fabric pots ive only give ph ballanced water up untill last week its first feed was on the 24th i give i put 12ml of big bloom into 5 ltr and that was shared between the 3 plants then the next day i just lighty sprayed with ph ballanced water then on 26th i gave 4ml cal mag to 1gl then next day i spayed with water again then on 28th i gave 3ml big bloom 3ml grow 2.ml cal mg to 1gl yesterday i spayed again unsure what to do from here the nutients are foxfarm and cal mag is ionik. 1 plant is mutant but is sortings its self out since i started the feed
this set up was done on impulse due to lock down on a budget so i have had to literally cut corners there no room where i am so had to go in garden shed so ive had to cut a 14 inch off the the hieght of the tent and im using a dog lead to hang my light lol
