Only feeding nutes no plain water
3lementa1started grow question 4 years ago
For some reason my plants are only needing to be watered once a week. My nutrients say to give x amount per week. Should I be giving just plain water as well between feedings, or just keep going with the weekly feedings? 2 are in 5 gallon bags and 2 are in 7 gallon.

Eventually they'll need fresh water. You could get away with a few continuous cycles of nutrient water, but Eventually it builds up. Usually it should be drying out in like 3-5 days....so maybe increase the airflow and just watch them. If they start changing any color than healthy vibrant green, then typically something undesirable is happening. Personally I would alternate between nutrient water and plain water everytime if it's needing a week to dry out.
Good luck with the grow.✌️

Ive been told to water with Nutes then plain water back and forth especially in flower. Haven't done it yet and have had good results without using plain water. but this time I plan on 2 waters with nutes then a plain water. also keep watering them as they need once a week, don't overwater

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 make2 years ago

Why is my plant growing extremely slowly?This is my first Propperty grow and the photo is after almost 4 weeks of growth, I’ve been giving nutes in reasonable doses and the first 2 and a half weeks was mostly cloudy and rainy but since then it’s been sunny, did the cloudy start affect it that much? And what should I do?Plant. Too short
