This is my first grow. Is it reasonable to water her 1 liter water now? Water means tap water with 4 ml of each Advanced Nutrient pH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A and Advanced Nutrient pH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow B. She seems very thirsty.

I would reccomend watering every few days when the first leaves start to hang down and the coco feels dry. Then add water slowly till the pot is saturated and you get some drain. That should do the job for several days. The roots get nutrition when wet and some oxigen when the coco is drying, thats what you should aim for. Much better than watering every day. Also I see your plants are saturated with nutrition, the leaves are dark green what tells me they are full of nitrogen. No problem till now but when you see burnt leaf tips its time to lower the nutrition dose. I wouls try 2ml/L of nutes the next weeks till the colour brightens up a bit or when first undernutrition signs show up.

Yes they’re slightly over water’d and over fed. You should use plain water only between 2 feedings or every 3 feedings, depending on the EC of the substrate.

Ive been looking at the picture first and to me your girl looks like to much nitrogen, shes quite darkgreen and leaves growing weired. They look crubly and crispy. I would say slow down nitrogen... greetings

@moshcann Sounds perfectly reasonable to me as they are starting the flowering stage and will be needing that little extra and I wouldnt be suprised to see it drink more than a litre a day as those buds fatten. However you probably dont need to add the Advanced nutes at every watering maybe every 2nd or so unless the plants show signs of a deficiency. When you feed with your plain tap water it's a good idea to keep it in the desired ph range so as not to alter the delicate chemistry going on under the surface. How are you finding the Ph perfect nutes? I quite like them and was quite impressed with their ph stability .
