Hello mates.

New to Coco and just wanted to clarify.

I am running 3 gallon smart pots in flower with some 3 foot autoflowers.

I feed daily with 30%runoff.

Getting nutrient burn.

So my question is, should I be watering daily or waiting until they need it?

I have herd to come contraversory, but for me it seems that feeding daily with these autos has done nothing but trouble.

My pH is fine, my ppm are 500ish and I supplement Cal mag.
They are light eaters, burn easily it seems.

Just seems feeding daily is just not working for these autos.

Seems they may just want food every 3 days or so, which is complete opposite to what I have herd from growers, but seems that's what they want.

Going to flush them today to get rid of salt build up if any at all.

Any comments from coco growers ?

Its for sure nutrient burn.

Yes, coco needs to be watered daily. When the plants reach maturity you will have to water up to 2-3 times per day.

What week are you in?

Seems this is not the case with these plants. They are not heavy feeders.
Day 46 Autoflowers from sprout.
Not new to growing, just this coco feed daily thing has giving me nothing but issues with these plants. I feed my veg plants every 2 days as feeding them daily will burn them.
I am gong to start feeding every 3 days as these plans for sure hate daily feedings.
I grow under led as this also may be an issue due to led do not take as much nutrients and even at 500ppmish plus Cal mag they for sure cannot take nutrients daily.

Seems some plants can handle daily feedings while others cannot even at low ppm in flower at least for autos.
Will see how my photos do next run in coco with daily feedings, otherwise ill be sticking to every other or every 3 days.
 
I don't use smart pots but you will want to base your feed times on how heavy the pot is. You def want the pot to go light before watering again. The roots need oxygen to make those fat flowers.

Always water only when the plants need it or you will have overwatering issue. As your plants mature your feed times will increase.

Thanks for the solid answer finally.
Appreciate it. Will water them when it gets lighter, every 2-3 days it seems.
Thanks for the info.
