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

Water
Is it bad to make my water ahead of time ? I mixed my nutrients (big bud, formulex, bud candy & molasses) in with the water & have let it sit out for over a day. I heard letting it sit out gets the chlorine out (I put a towel over it though so my cat/other stuff would get in it)

A question for the bag growers. I was underwatering and too often so started watering until getting some runoff. A problem I have is that before the water flows out the bottom it starts leaking from along the sides. making it difficult to judge how much is actually runoff.
