im top dressing with “Down to Earth Organic Fertilizer.
How often should I feed my plants, it’s been 12 days since I transplanted them and that was when I added fertilizer to their 5 galloon pots.
The boxes say once a month but I feel like there talking about normal gardening, everytime I look it up the internet says feed once a week or every 10-14 days

I'm a new grower but I read somewhere they say once every two weeks and of course you can at any time to correct a deficiency

What size container were they in before 5gallon pots? I use the same npk. I find top dressing every 3 weeks, or a transplant into a bigger container I count as a top dress. I use 4-4-4 up until week 3 of flower then introduce flower girl. Rather than go by time look at the leaves. The leaves tell you everything you need to know! When they start to lighten you know they’re starting to get hungry. Don’t forget your humic/fulvic acids for helping the breakdown of Dr. Earth and microbes/bacterias for soil/root health all important especially with dry amends.
recharge, King crab, photo plus works wonders when used weekly.

If u fed lets say 20-10-10 in veg last week ago and u got a p deficiency showing today what do u do u add some more 20-10-10 ? Thats going to give excess n logically speaking right but im probably wrong ?
You would just add P in that case or lets say a magnesium def and theres none in your nutes and if its aleady watered/ overwatered you can just foilar feed
I never said it" will correct a deficiency overnight lol

if I was an expert I wouldn't comment on some dumb post? But just ignore it . alot of smart ass these days but hey I learn new things every day and I bet you still do .. you just came here to be an asshole admit it and you did not put a comment of your own opinion to the guy who asked the question but
I never knew experience in growing cannabis made some people judgemental but only from smoking it
