Is it "water, nutes, water nutes or nutes in water every day?

I have heard so many conflicting comments about this and although most growers say water, nutes, water, etc., I feed every day and have never given them just plain water. I also rarely skip any days of watering and water every day. If my plants are doing good, why should I switch unless my plants are just growing "okay" instead of "terrific." Comments?

Now I no Guru on marijuana and I water and feed ever other day and my plant couldn’t be any better. Now since we coming to the end, I’m going to slow down the feeding but continue with watering.

Dang... your feeding them everyday? Do you have a pic of the plants?
I have already cut most of the fan leaves once and they grew a bunch of new leaves when I gave them molasses a week ago. It's time for a trim again. The last photo I took today for another thread asking if the pot was big enough to finish out because I bought a 10-gallon pot I want to put her in but afraid to because she's 3rd week in flower. The second photo was a goof of LST and I did it wrong so all the branches you see are from the branches that grow out instead of from the top. I have over 20 colas, some are 26 inches long and are filling in quite nicely. I know I will have to tie them up eventually.

I haven't done any training and am mostly growing for CBD as this is a high CBD strain. I don't care about a bunch of weed but it appears I'm going to get a lot more than I really wanted. I also grew the plants because I had a garden this year and thought, hey, I haven't done a grow in awhile soooo....I have this eggplant that I use as the sacrificial lamb when I want to try something different with the nutes and so far, it's right on. Oh, and thanks about the leaves, I was going to ask somebody about that or find a thread.

a few years ago my crew started 'microdosing' with 1/4-1/2 strength liquid fertilizer every watering.....and we have never looked back.

So there! :hump: Wow, great looking plants! The only thing I've changed is taking away one of the nitrogen nutes and started them on flowering nutes, with the other two nutes (calmag and FF bud and bloom) in full amounts. I guess I need to start giving them less than full strength but they show no sign of nute burn. I guess once I do, I can start tapering off.

Do those colas bud all the way down to the trunk (eventually) or do you just get big tops?
if you can keep the plant rows separated so that light can penetrate down they will grow buds most of the way down, however the plants in each row (3 rows in a greenhouse) will grow together and form a hedge with little bud growing between. The boys on my crew put a lot of work into this. We do this to maximize our canopy.

Well you definitely pulled it off! Great looking plants~!

Damn I feed my girls once a week lol....maybe I should start feeding more often. I like the daily microdose idea but having the auto-drip system is so convenient....

Be safe out and Dam son you got it going on in spades as always thank you for your time and pictures
I'm not posting this to make anybody jealous. Just showing what can be done with a little effort. I will gladly answer any questions and enjoy helping others succeed. I'm just an old retired guy. I don't do any of the work, i have a crew and we split everything after expenses. (edit I do grow all our clones at my home in town). I don't live full time on the farm, one of the crew does. I only visit the farm weekly. You just need to make the commitment and take that leap of faith. Best of luck to all....
