nutes every 2 days in coco

Tektonik80started grow question 4 years ago
I've been watering her every 2 days as that's about how long the pot takes to dry out. Should I be giving nutes every feeding or maybe every other feeding? She doesn't seem to mind nutes every watering but thought I'd ask.

think of it this way... you provide nutrients at the correct concentration. you feed it as it drinks -- especially a mature plant. if you see a slow buidlup or slight sign of darkness that isn't normal or related to senescence, i typicaly switch to every other for 1 or 2 cycles of each and by that time it's cleared up. you basically have to combat evaporation with a plant in bloom, and in many contexts even that may not cause a problem in the time it takes to harvest a plant. plenty of people don't flush in coco... some need to because they feed more heavily -- likely throwing money down the drain too. I rely on color of leaves, but maybe 1/4 gallon every 2 weeks that late in bloom? could just spread it out a bit too... and if that small amount, likely can power through to harvest in many cases - not suggesting that you ignore some darkness, but that it may not even display in that amount of time. if you want to be more precise, you'll need some meters and take some notes until you have a good baseline of min/max and what causes problems... you'll know proactively to give a little water sans nutrients. I really like the option, but not going to callibrate and maintain that crap, lol. i'm nerdy enough otherwise.

Girls are looking happy to me mate 😊 I usually feed my auto girls in Coco everyday usually 2to 3 lts I like a little runoff most of the time but pots usually dry next day n well they always seem seem to do jus fine so I can't see any issues feeding every water just watch your girl she will tell you if she wants more or less but generally as long as there roots are happy n free autos find places to shove food 😆 and like people the more they eat the bigger they get haha Happy growing

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Yes in coco u feed every watering.. The technique 'super charging' is the best results i ever had using coir.. Basically u give a weak feed then medium strength then a higher strength feed(not full blast tho) then drop bk to a weak feed as b4.. Always check and adjust the pH if needed b4 u feed plants tho.. Stay safe n gud luck with ur girls.. 👍🍀

took a look at some more pictures -- if in real life there is any gloss, give a dose or two of pH, otherwise they look pristine to me. i wouldn't change a thing. just react to any creeping darkness or tip burn etc... your typical signs of too much nutes.

Hey buddy on coco or hydro the ph should drop to 5.5 -5.8. I find your ec a little bit at this stage :-) there is a very simple trick when you give water. Let it dry nicely, then lift the pot up and remember how easy it is. Then pour it and lift the pot back up and notice how heavy it is now. The next time you water, you will only do it again if the pot is as light as when you started. As a pure beginner, you can also use a scale and note the weight ፦). Keep carrying as before 👍 Your plant is beautiful
