lookin real nice dude!

i don't think watering every other day would hurt them, as long as the soil isn't super wet or anything beforehand..
Juyst don't nute them everytime and keep an eye on the runoff PH.

West - do you think I should fert every other water if I am watering every other day?? Is that too much? I post pics fairly often so hopefully somone would spot over fert or over watering, but I look for any signs I know to look for as well. My runoff PH has ranged from 6.5-7.2...that is min and max throughout the entire grow...since having a digi PH meter. I watered 2L with fert yesterday, so that would end up being 3 fert waterings a week!?

Thanks for checking in West!

what nutes do you use? Does the package say every 2 weeks?

just wanna be careful of loading that soil up with nutes and screwing up the PH.. that's what i did and it took weeks to fix.

Personally i'd stick to nutes every 1 week (unless the package says 2 weeks) and just good PH water in between.

Using FoxFarm Big Bloom, it says 4 tablespoons per gallon...don't remeber how often, but I have seen the FF schedule online here before. I only use 1 tablespoon per 2L or 1/2 gallon.

i'd stick to full str every week with clean water inbetween, as opposed to 1/2 str 3 times a week. That shit will build up in there for sure.

IslandMon · #**141** (**permalink**) 03-06-2007, 03:06 PM

Full strength, once a week. Will do. I have only been watering every other day for a little less than a week, so I have NOT done 3 1/2 strength feedings a week. Only 2 ferts a week up until this week.

If when ferts built up...does that show up as a hi PH runoff???

not 100% sure on that... mine showed low PH like 5.6 and 5.8.

IslandMon · #**143** (**permalink**) 03-06-2007, 03:55 PM

Hum. My PH trend is that runoff is from .2-.4 higher then the PH ph of the water going in. I also did some testing and was making myself nuts with the digi PH meter. I was getting different reading from different containers, filled with the same damn water. I think I have it all squared away. Had to re-cal the meter, and steralize the beeker I was testing water in.

I will keep a close eye on the PH West.

optimally, you should be flushing your medium every couple of weeks to wash out organic salt build up from nutes. to much salt build up and or PH to far out of whack will cause your plants to lock out nutrients even when nutes are present your plants will be unable to take them in. you will see signs of deficiency even when you're feeding them plenty.

IslandMon · #**145** (**permalink**) 03-06-2007, 04:36 PM

Your kidding...flush every couple weeks?? I haven't done that once.

I'll go do that tomorrow or Wed. 2-3X the pot size to flush correct?
