More soak for more runoff for bigger pots?
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 5y ago
I'm watering with 2l of RO/nutes every 48-72 hours, depending on moisture of soil. Estimate about 10-15% of this is runoff. I notice vigorous growth almost immediately after watering but then little more until after the next feed. Is this normal or should I be soaking heavier?

With a 20 liter pot size I'd say go with a 3.5-4 liter nutrient rich irrigation every 2-3 days or when the top 5cm of the medium is dry!
Make sure there is at least 20-30% runoff (more wont hurt), check the runoff for pH and salinity (EC) to get a good idea of your soil fertility and acidity to quickly fix issues before any serious damage is done or to prevent them from happening.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Water and nutrientsI water every other day. So far I have been using nutrients to bring my water up to the proper EC (ppm). It is always a VERY small amount (1/2 tsp). I haven't noticed any signs of toxicity but I wanted to hear your opinion of my approach and changes that I could/should make

Potassium soil with neem oil and kelp extract as a foliar spray on seedlingsI have doubts about applying some foliar sprays. I've used Neem Oil + Potassium Soap with some kelp liquid extract, together without any issues. The benefit of using it now is obvious, but, are my seedlings too small to handle foliar sprays? Could I harm them if I apply this mix?4y ago

When to start feeding nutrients?When should I start feeding nutrients to my plants? They are currently at days 3 and 4, only with water (pH 6.0)
Should I start slower or can I go straight to GHE's feeding schedules?
What is the mixing order of nutrients? I'm using GHE Tripack Flora Series (Gro, Bloom and Micro)Week 1
