How often to water/feed with GH nutrients

GroovyGrass
GroovyGrassstarted grow question 2 years ago
If a 5 gallon pot were used and the feeding schedule was set to what it is below (from growweedeasy w/ the General Hydroponics trio), how often should those nutrient amounts be given? With every watering? How many times/week should watering or feeding be done?

In general, you should follow a schedule of water/feed/water/feed... some do water/water/feed/water/water/feed... The size of the pot you're growing in doesn't have any bearing on this schedule - you give your plant what's next up (water? feed?) when it is dry... some people stick their finger into the soil and if they don't encounter moisture within 2", that's their signal it's time for a drink of something... I lift my pots up - I know what they feel like when they're dry and when there's sufficient water in them (you can get a handle on it, too, just by continually picking up your pots so you know what they feel like when). I also know a lot of people follow a set schedule (i.e., every three days, give the plant something) but I don't think this is good for many reasons - the primary reason is that the plants will take up moisture at different rates depending on conditions, their age, etc... I believe it's better to "read" your plant and know the signs of when they need something. Hope this helps! Good luck!

And btw, the chart itself tells you to alternate waterings and feedings...

High, yes with every watering! I used this set before and you need to measure pH and EC. pH should be 5.7 the whole grow from start to harvest. And the EC start first week with EC 1.0 and up the nutrients every week with EC + 0.1 till you reached EC 1.8 (do not give more then EC 1.8). Happy Growing! πŸ˜‹
