    Default Feeding in soil during bloom

    So I’ve got 8 plants in 11L fabric pots scrogged in a 2.4m x 1.2m and wouldn’t be able to flush if a problem occurs.

    My soil is Biobizz lite mix.

    I’ve nearly finished first week since flip.

    I’ve been watering most days around 3L plain water and feeding alternate days.

    Is this to much ?

    The pots sometimes still feel a bit weighty sometimes so I give 1.5L.

    Should I not give anything at all and water every other day ?

    Really don’t need wanna mess up what could be 30oz

    As long as you are measuring accurately and keeping your feeds within a range the plants can handle you should be fine feeding daily. Plain water once a week though maybe?

    A flush is only required after a fuck up, you sound well on top of things.

    3l maybe a bit too much for one watering in 11l pots, I would have thought 1.5 to 2 litres will be more than adequate. You should get a bit of run off through each pot.

    Watering everyday in soil? Mine are in 12L pots and I feed 3L every 2-3 days. Wet/dry/wet/dry.
    If my memory serves me (so many diaries on here) your plants are coming on really well.

    You want to get abit of run off really just to ensure the bottom roots are getting fed. With those fabric pots does water piss out the sides when you water.

    Yes mate if I pour to quick it pisses out the sides a bit so I have to wait then go again.

    But never seen run off so maybe I need to give a lot more until run off then shouldn’t have to water for maybe a couple more days ?

    Perhaps this is where I’m going wrong ?

    Not sure watering everyday is right ?

    From what ive seen on here mate you dont want a lot of run off from soil, just abit out the bottom so you know youve got it right the way through, once youve got it out the bottom then 3L should be plenty

    If i leave mine a day without watering i have to give 4L to get run off but then 3L suffices next time

    Yeah but like I’ve said not seeing any from 3L maybe needs a bit more then. Must be dense root ball being 10 week veg lol.

    What about schedule for soil ? Plain water alternated with nutes innit ? Or water, water, feed ?

    I use a watering can when watering. So it slow and steady. You want to aim for a wet to dry cycle. If your pots are dry after a day then then give em another feed.

    As for feeding, I would let the plant tell you. If they can handle the feed keep going if not pull back abit. But just don’t over do it.

    Some pots lighter than others after a day so it’s hard to judge it.

    The leafage is quite pale yellow green so was gonna give them some old timers grow nute tonight to try and green them up a bit ?
