How much do YOU feed?

I was just looking to get a recent thread going about how much you guys like to feed.

Super Soilers: How much of what do you amend? Do you have to feed by flowering? How often are you watering a matured final potted plant?

Hydro: What does your EC look like is the reservoir?

Soil: What kind of EC do you feed with and how often?(Feed/water)
about how many times a week are you watering or feeding?

I have been playing around with different strength feedings recently and i'm just curious what it's like for you guys?
I used to keep ppms around 400 until flower without deficiencies but i've just recently tried bumping up on some a 303 Kush i've been running to see how she reacts.
I went from 100 or so (Tap+AN CalMag Xtra) in seedling to a steady 500ppm(1.0EC)
Then I raised it to 750 and this week I tried her at 1000. No burns for her yet but leaves are some of the biggest I had for a little baby!

How do you guys like it on average? :)

Oh and here is that 303 Kush i've been testing feeding with.
She's happy :D (Hopefully a she.... i've only had 2 males before and chances are this pretty plant may be my baine because I like it so much lol)

Wish I could get the humidity up above 50 stable 40 isn't bad, it survived 20% when she was a baby though.

In soil I only feed half strength my water is 400 ppm and my nutrients is between 15 and 1700. Combined That’s with gh

400ppm water wow!
Well water?
And that's some pretty heavy feeders!
Do you happen to know if that is .5 or .7 of EC conversion?
Also, is that flower or also through veg?
Any pics? :)

Well water and if I use full strength it’s 3600 ppm. I think it’s 1.5 1.7 and full is 3.6.

The soil I build only gets water if I need to feed I simply top dress with fresh soil.

If your humidity meter is under the light you will read lower humidity than it is.

This plant is built for a wide range of humidities, mainly ignore humidity :-)

That is an incredibly vague and ignorant statement to make as it disregards differences in peoples set ups (let say newbs are likely to be less dialled in). They may have less than optimal ir circulation and the humidity pockets will multiply as a result.

Humidity is high, you lose part of a crop to humidity spot bud rot (assuming you notice in time to stop more going). Humidity is so low, leaves/medium dry quicker and have to take up more water possibly leading to nute burn. Or, the combination of low humidity and fan dries out leaves much easier making them a lot less healthy ''crispy'', leaves closer to fans/s may also die. You should be checking humidity in multiple points of the room every time you enter it, with a high/low read out to get a better picture of spikes/drops. You can have ac/hue and still get bud rot or wind dried leaves.. so you still need to check multiple areas of the grow to look out for humidity pockets and check fans are not blowing at too harsh an angle/speed, particularly during stretch. The changing of seasons and temps in many places mean big fluctuations occur in out side humidity daily or even hourly, you should not mostly ignore that, even with a well dialled in set-up, since no two grows are exactly the same.

He has me on ignore for continually pulling him on poor advice, take that as a warning when reading his future dribble.

I must say I've never had strains be sensitive to feedings!
Not to say that they aren't, but than again ive always ran 400-600ppm(.8-1.2ec) in veg until this most recent grow.

I've been feeding 1000ppm or 2.0ec. @ 5.5ph with 6.7-7.0ph on runoff. She's quickly becoming the widest short plant I've had.

2 weeks as a seedling, once it grew past the third node I called it in veg, it's been there for almost 3 weeks now. A few tips have bent downwards so I've been careful on feedings.
Check her out!
