Feeding too much?

[Cookmesomeeggsbch]

Hey guys first grow my plants currently are drinking 2litres of water every 24 hours pretty easy, I'm feeding them around 800ppm a day 2nd week of flower is this too often? And should I feed with nutes every other day?
pic is of canopy and I feel like the leaves are a little more yellow than they should be

What medium are they in? Size of containers?

It looks good to me. Just keep monitoring the ppms in the runoff and you should be good; it'll tell exactly what you need to know in regards to feeding or needing a plain watering.

Canna terra professional (sort of soiless medium) 20l fabric pots

That stuff is loaded with fertilizer. Just use pH adjusted water. Further you should use weight to determine dryness. You should be using about 5 litres to water properly. Too little water equals shallow roots.

Had no idea it was loaded with fert heard some other people saying it runs out in about 2 weeks. Noted on the water I'll give them more

If you see yellowing leaves then feed. Nitrogen deficiency shows quickly and can be solved quickly. They look good. Just a hair light in color.

Did you break the medium really well before using it? All the clumps in it? I'm not a fan because of tree bark in it.

Yeah broke it down really well and put Leca in the bottom 2 inches also, I'm not guna use it again tbh it says use 6.0ph too but that's just too low for taking up certain nutrients

It's far easier on the plants and the grower playing catch-up to a deficiency than trying to solve lockout from too much. Deficiency? Feed. Simple. Toxicity? Definitely not the easiest.

Hey brother I fed them flower nutes last night instead of vege (day 12 of flower) and now they are much greener? Also added a co2 bag but unsure what the issue was.

Those bags are a waste of money. Check out carbon dioxide generators you make with 5-gallon buckets. Much cheaper and much more CO2. Use adequate amounts of fluid when watering or feeding. Also suggest using skewers to pierce the medium all over including under the plant. You can't do this too much. Do it before every feeding. Make sure your skewer can go all the way to the bottom of your container.
