Plain water between a few feeds? Smaller doses? (To prevent nutrient burn)

So I was wondering (medium is light-mix from Plagron): I've been feeding a full dose of nutes every watering up until now. Would ya'll recommend giving plain water in between every few feeds, or dosing down to be cautious? I don't want to be too late... That happened last grow.

it's not easy to evaluate how much water evaporates, leaving nutrients in the soil, and that's the problem you're referring to. normally, when it's too hot, water evaporates very quickly, so frequent watering with just water is right and necessary, but in boxes with lower temperatures, evaporation will be less, so watering with just water should still be done but less frequently... and anyway, the plants talk to you, you need to be able to understand them and you'll see significant improvements... even if you're already doing a great job like this.

Hi. I would recommend giving dry fruits 2 times a week. Or read the manufacturer's instructions written on the packaging. Don't feed every day, or you'll cause a blockage in your roots. Good luck.

Giving nutes with every watering is guaranteed to give you nute burn and lockout of essential nutrients. You would only feed every watering if you grew in coco, certainly not in soil. From the beginning, you should establish a routine of water/feed/water/feed... some even do water/water/feed/water/water/feed. It's much easier to treat a deficiency (caused by not giving enough) than it is a toxicity (which will also lead to deficiencies)... Good luck...

I have for the last 30+ years used a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed when growing in soil. I also never use full strength nutrients and hover between half strength and three quarters strength. Remember too, it is very easy to rescue a slightly under fed plant, but very, very hard to rescue a burned and over fed plant!
