Nutrient Solution Feeding

[Wiggla]

I am now confused about whether or not to feed with the solution everytime the plant needs feeding and to strengthen the solution every week (which worked fine for me) or to feed with solution only once in the beginning of the week and then feed only water when needed until the next week where the now stronger solution is fed.

The first technique (which is what I assumed was the way to feed) worked fine, mix a couple of mls of nutes into a gallon of water ph adjust and feed with that, but when talking to others who are way more experienced they tell me only feed the nutes once a week and when needed give water only in between. When I tried the second techinique (present day) the leaves are yellowing and dieing when in flowering which leads me to believe either they were wrong, or since I'm only feeding nutes once a week I need to make the solution stronger than I am making it.

People say to give a shot of nitrogen to try to bring back color to the leaves which was easier to do when I had the 3-part nute setup but now I have a 2-part mix because it also has some organic properties.

Any suggestions for easily bringing the green back to the plant in flower when feeding with simple grow and bloom 2-part feed system because the buds are sucking up the sugars in the leaves too fast.

Thanks

i do it once a week, works good no nute burns or anything

if youre that concerned just grab a soil ph test kit for under 20$. itll give you a pretty good idea of your ph and NPK ratings of your soil. this will leave you with a lot less questions about what to do next

Also, should the solution be strengthened every week as the plant gets older or is there a limit to the amount nutes to mix into water (example: a plant in its 5th week of flowering being fed 10ml of nutes per gallon of water) is that possible or would the plant be burned and overfertilized?

I'm wondering if not enough nutes per gallon of water is why the leaves are yellowing fast. I start off at 2.5 ml/gallon - 5ml/gallon during veg which is fine. But when in flowering I stay around 5-7.5ml/gallon and leaves are yellowing and dieing.

I use a bubble bucket by the way, no soil.
