How do I properly feed my plants?

[NoobChicken]

Hello, I am super new to growing anything in general. I'm using fox farms Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha-Ching.
It says add 15ml per 1 gallon, and feed once per week. However, I water my plants an 1/8th gallon (2 cups) a day.

Should I continue to feed them 8 times until they all received the equivalent of 1 gallon? Or is the 2 cups of fertilized water enough per week?
Thanks in advance,

Be careful or you'll drown em

It changes as they grow.
Small plants need less water, large ones more.
Then your medium also determines the amounts, soil or coco.
Environment too … is it hot? Do you get lots of evaporation?
There’s no one answer.

Or fry them

Review best practices for watering and feeding in whatever medium you're growing in.

You should learn about plant nutrition. All of those are bloom additives not a complete fertilizer. None of them contains any calcium or magnesium. Way too much phosphorus if you use all 3.




Open Sesame 5 - 45 - 19
Cha Ching 9 - 50 - 10
Beastie Bloomz 0 - 50 - 30

Why are you using overpriced bloom boosters as your base nutrients? I can’t see this going well. What’s your grow media and how far along are you?

Shits just overpriced mkp with additives.

Here’s my pretty much fool proof recipe.
1.5tbsp dr earth tomato food and 1tbsp kelp meal/gallon of soil mixed thoroughly, then when you pot up for flower top dress with the same ratio but with dr earth bud and bloom instead of the tomato food. Water with recharge every other watering till mid flower then just water.

I used 20-10-20 full spectrum fertilizer for veg all that was missing was sulfur and calcium, tap had calcium and I threw some epsom in and seemed to work well.

Don't use Fox Farms it's going to save you a lot of headache avoiding Fox Farms. Run their additives & supplements at 50% dose max and see how plants respond after 5-6 days before applying anymore. Shit is too strong for weed plants at full strength. I think they set the feed chart for a huge variety of plants since I don't think Fox Farms focuses on Cannabis plants specifically with their formulas and soils.

If you grow in Coco you follow the feeding chart for most companies and feed every time the plant needs water (coco is light/barely moist). That sounds easier eh?

I dunno... a solid 14-145-59 feed combined with not feeding/watering to run off. What could go wrong.

I think you need to read the label properly and download the feed schedule off the fox farm site.
The nutrients you mentioned are not supposed to be used until you are ready to flower. Also, they are soluble powders, not sure why they would tell you to measure it using milliliters.

Anyway, if you want to use fox farms you should be using grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom. That is the fox farm trio most novices start off with.

Those are my flowering nutes. I used Cal mag, Magnum and Grow big / Big bloom during veg. They're just starting flowering now. It's 5 2 cups of water per 5 gallon pot of a coco coir based medium. I'm still unsure if I'm feeding them correctly. My Run Off is 6.0 ph and 1,000 ppm. THey haven't begun the 12/12 cycle yet.

Can anyone answer my question as to how to properly feed them? If I give them one feeding that's olny 1/8th the amount of water, am I under feeding them?

 

[NoobChicken]

I meant feed them 8 times over the course of 4 days...

In coco you should be feeding each time you water and you should be watering to saturate the medium and runoff each time.

That depends mainly on your medium being coco or just potting mix with added coco

The measurement on the salt based beastie bloom is labeled as tablespoons(3-6grams)
This is the exact medium i'm using with little more coco and perlite added- https://www.growitdepot.com/products/organic-coco-coir-blend?variant=31558753484836&msclkid=7d199754285214b5cae4f6d818f0a55d&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopify_Initial-Shopping_55470981156&utm_term=4587093794475303&utm_content=ShopifyImportAdGroup

I'm less worried about the watering amounts and more concerned on how to properly feed it when it says X tbs : 1 GALLON when I only feed 1/8th gallon at a time. If I only give them 1/8th gallon as a feeding, am I drastically missing out on nutes?

Mix larger quantities. Use a TDS meter to keep things honest.

I feed the cal mag and magnum every watering, the big grow/big bloom every other watering up until flowering. usually I use tiger bloom during last month of flowering, but I'm trying the strong flowering salt fertilizers this grow. I just want to make sure I'm applying them correctly.
