I use GHE MaxiGrow and MaxiBloom. The feed charts seem to be more for hydroponic. I'm in soil. I have been adding fert once a week following their medium feed chart and just water the rest. Should I be giving fert every watering?

Depends if your soil has been void of nutrients already or not.. but yes definitely don’t go over 1 small scoop per gallon.. id say if your soils been used up from nutes to go twice a week feeding at half a tsp per gallon. I used this stuff for a while it’s great for the price

Wow!!! Thank you All. A multitude of great answers. I should include more details. It is a 50/50 mix of Perlite and peat soil. I have been learning the hard way about watering until runoff and just started doing it after a complete flush. This is my first grow using Maxi Series, no complaints other than the feed charts could be more helpful. I am in the middle of switching from plastic buckets to grow bags. I have one plant Fruity left in a bucket. The bags are a lot different than buckets. Ya gotta love this site, the best social media group I have been in. Thanks

if you think the soil is not longer contributing much or you jsut want to simpliy and aim for most consistent, even if slightly wasteful, path.... then, i'd fertilizer each time with 10-15% runoff... what little remains in teh soil will quickly reach the level of concentration you feed within a few irrigations, if some extra remains. Keep eye on plant... any hint of toxicity and slow that oll.. mix in a water-only irrigation with minimal runoff if mino and 15-20% if fast pogressing tox symptoms. essentially you'd be treating it just like a soilless gow.. assuming substate is roughly near what you feed in concentration, the 10% runoff will compensate for any evapoation-caused elecation of EC. i.e. no buildup over time... assuming mix is spot on, will be zero issues. if the mix needs adjustment you also know the substate will quickly shift with just a little extra runoff to hasten it... changes you make will go into effect very fast. -- otherwise, the more trial and error path just invovled slowly ramping up what you feed.. you want minimal runoff and only to ensure the entire pot gets wet each irrigations.. .dry pockets are a potential risk over time. depending on concentration you feed you may want to alternate or every third fo fertilizing (bsically any resulting mix far greater than 1.5EC will more than likely need somem water-only irrigation(s) between)... or slowly amp up to a low 1.3-1.5ec as you compensate for soil's loss of initial charge of nutes and you can feed every irrigation... maybe a bit less than 1.3-1.5 EC if no runoff, though. without runoff need to consider what remains when adding more. with runoff takes care of that but is more wasteful.. up to you.. both can wok just fine.

Hey. No, defo not every feed. I use coco and light mix soil 70-30 and it allows me to do feeds 3 times a week. But even with full light mix. You treat it like soil regardless of its properties before you planted. Twice a week. And in between if you have any enzymes or give a cal/mag feed once a week in-between. Depending on the age of your grow. You might only need to water once a week at the start. But pushing into late veg you'll need to feed water/ferts every 2 days. Unless you got high heat and low RH you might need to feed every day. It all depends on the stages of your plant and environment. But regardless of how you feed water or ferts. Don't do every day. As the soil needs to dry out at least once a week. As roots need to breathe too. (I'm not talking about fully drying out. But so it's damp or so) you'll find if you have wet soil all the time you'll have potential num problems. Slow growth, and lots more. But even into late flower you shouldn't need to feed more than twice a week. Ppm for soil should be lower also. So, do not give the recommended 2ml/l dose i think every1 says that. But stay in the 4-600 ppm (not including your ambient tap ppm) and you should be fine. Good luck and enjoy your grow.

Not every watering no, this will take a bit of trial and error. Best to start with the less is more philosophy since it's easier to feed it more rather then rinsing a lock out, start with the once a week as recommended at half strength and observe your plant. if she looks hungry after the first week start giving it more. Every cultivar will react diff to the same neuts. Hope this helps!
