Go slow on how much you give them. Overfeed and your harvest will suffer. A little underfed is always the best way to go for big buds. Cheers

How much water can I give?
Hey everyone, I have a question. What is the maximum amount of water I can give the plants? I'm in week 6, giving 1.5 litres every 2 days and they always seems thirsty the day after water. Can I go up and give them 2 litres and then in two weeks can I go up to 3l? If no, why?

Tap water is 0.5 EC, and 8.1 - shall I get an RO system or can I use pH Down (using Canna Coco)?
Does my tap water with 0.5 EC, pH 8.1 warrant the use of an RO system with Canna Coco nutrients or shall I use Canna pH Down to bring it down to 6.3?

FISH SHIT during flush - why? TIA ^_^
To add or not to add fish shit. The bottle states that adding it during flushing will help break down salts and nutes, allowing flushing to happen faster. Seems logical to me though I hear JUST WATER is the way to go the last couple weeks. Whats the community standard?

PH measuring for Organic Growers
If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
