More soak for more runoff for bigger pots?
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 6y 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 :)

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?5y ago

Correct feeding schedule / having trouble determining when I should feed my plants in Flower.My Purple Haze plant doesn't seem to like high nutrient content. At this point, feeding it once per week will only burn the plant.
Is it okay that haven't really added much nutrients at all over the past few weeks? I will continue to not add nutrients until I see deficiency?Week 5

Organic fertiliserHello! Is this a good fertiliser for veg stage? And how often should I use it and how? Should I just put it around the plant and work in to the soil or should i dilute it in water?

Slow growthHello my growmies, tell me? A substrate made up of 50% coco, do you water it more frequently than a soil mix made of earth, right? Because I find the growth of this gorilla zkittlez quite slow and I was wondering if it might be due to under-watering/under-fertilization.4y ago

Nutrient switch to bloom in DWCI started this reservoir with 100% veg nutrients and have been topping off with bloom nutrients. If I do this for a week and at the end of the week change reservoir to flower nutrients .... is that gradual enough or too quick and I will shock them? First time flipping !Feeding. Schedule

Frequency of nutrients. Is twice a week too much? If they can absorb all the water. I run a dehumidifier and the plants run dry quite quickly. Could I possibly give my plant nutrients twice a week? I am using the technaflora recipe for success. Could I just feed a half a gallon to them instead of 1 gallon twice weekly ? They suck up 2 gallons every 2 daysWeek 4
