Feed Q

Make sure to have a moist substrate, from side to side and top to bottom first and if you do feed, no more than one quarter strength as to what it says on the bottle(s). Baby plants need baby feeding! Giving only 40ml of water is pointless, your plants, even at the size they are now, will have a tap root 3-6 inches long and 40ml is not going to get that deep down. She will not develop roots into dry substrate, nor will nutrients be available. Think about what happens in nature when it rains, water falls everywhere and moistens the soil around the plant entirely and not just a little bit next to the stem. This is how your plant is "designed" to grow, by lateral advancement of her roots to anchor her and with a deep penetrating tap root to find water. This is why the substrate needs to be moist in the entire pot and not just in the middle and to a shallow depth. Roots need to be encouraged to "explore", however they will only "explore" in a moist environment. Keeping the substrate dry will limit root "exploration" which ultimately limits growth above ground too. Your mix of coir and perlite is virtually impossible to make that wet that it will "drown" your plant, so don't be afraid of giving 1-2 litres to fully moisten the entire volume of the pot. Once the substrate is moistened and your plant fully hydrated and with good availability of further moisture for the roots, feeding then, should be ok. Giving nutrients on dry substrate and to a thirsty plant can cause death, especially if the nutrients are at the recommended rate of dilution for an adult plant. So, get the substrate moistened, wait a day or so and then feed at quarter strength and everything should be well. Also, next time you grow, fill your pots right up, this will give much more room for root development, which means much more above ground development too. It doesn't take up any extra room in your tent, and will be hugely beneficial for when flowering is happening, as it will be far easier to maintain an even moisture level and provide a much steadier release of nutrients. Take a look at the root system after you harvest these plants and you will soon realise why giving as much room as possible for root development is so vital for your plants over all well being. Until then, good luck and happy, happy growing!! Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.
