well thank you for the reply. If I keep her indoors under cfls. I can go a few days before watering again. If I place her outside she dries out fast here in my area of california. She is in a small pot with soil. I wanted to transplant her. A few people say it wont matter if I transplant her now. She is too far into flowering and it wont make a difference at this point. I was just asking too see if I feed her alittle everyday would it make the buds bigger. She is 12/12 from seed and has some very nice early buds on her. She is 5 weeks old and has been flowering for 3 weeks.
ok thank you for the reply.
I would say this might be true to some extent with synthetic nutes, but with organics there is no problem at all with daily watering. Drip irrigation is a great example of a daily (As a matter of fact many times daily) watering/feeding that works wonders without any runoff. There are many ways to water plants, they each have their benefits and disadvantages, but there is no single "proper" way to water, some methods work better or worse depending on the situation.
exactly!!
Indeed, I grow living organics so I don't even feed. All in my soil. But make no mistake even fish emulsion you can feed too much of. Bottles are bottles. Feeding every water is excessive,
kickass advice

Thank you for the reply. When I water I fill 2 of the small 12 once soda bottles. I get a good amount of runoff. So should I water with 3 bottles of water just to make sure I have no dry spots in the soil?
There are nutrient availability charts available which show different nutes available at different ph ranges. As soil dries its ph rises. Cannabis likes wet-dry cycles. In addition, by letting the soil become dryer, you make different nutrients more available than they would be if held at a lower/wetter range.
well she is a very small pot because it was a 1st try at 12/12 from seed. I had a extra seed, so I wanted to try it. I been watering her every 2 days. The pot feels really light on the 2nd day. I so feed her everytime I water. She looks great. She has nice buds and has a nice green color to her. I was just curious if I feed her alittle every if that would give her bigger buds in the end? Thank you for your reply also.
If you want bigger buds, I'd say more light and larger container (longer veg time at 18/6 lighting). You might try bud boosters like GH Koolbloom (liquid during flower, dry in last week or two with 1/2-strength nutes). But, if this is your first try, I don't think I'd mix many variables. Try different things on your next grow. You won't know what "bigger" is unless you know what "normal" looks like.
Thanks for the reply. I have grown plants with bigger buds before. I am trying a 12/12 from seed grow with this plant. So I was not sure if buds are the size they should be at this point or if they should be bigger. I have her just under 6 2700k cfls and I also sit her outside during the day to get all the natural sunlight too.
Thanks for the reply. I was just thinking if I feed her every day with a lower dosage of food. It would help her with bigger buds.
