[baggins1986]

i have been growing 4 euphoria plants and they are now 3 weeks into flowering. i have been feeding them 1 pint, twice a day of pk13/14, however i am not going to be around to feed them for approx 3 days. will they survive for that long, or should i over feed them just before i leave. any comments wud b much appreciated.

i used canna coco a+b for the veg stage and now canna pk13/14 for flowering. i feed them at 8 in the morning and 8 in the evening with a pint each. so do u think it will b ok for 3 days without feeding? thanks alot

what type of medium are you growing with soil or soiless mix? also are they drying out quick since your watering them twice a day? and btw you could just fill a tray with some water and let them bottom feed for the 3 days you are gone...

 

[baggins1986]

im using a soil medium, that top of the soil is dry when i feed them. they dont appear to have been damaged by the amount i fed them. what is the general amount u feed a plant in the flowering stage, they are about 70cm tall.

mate i feed mine 3 times a week same as vegging i give them anuff so its dripping out the bottom ov the pot into drip tray then once water in drip tray gone and pot feels abit lite i water
try feed every other day for six days then on the 7 day flush them
works good for me
but during the last few weeks flower cut the nutes down and then stop for a week so your not smoking the nutes
3 days they shud be ok if you water real well and leave the tray a little full

canna a&b? that sounds like you're in coco. canna's pk13/14 is to be used beginning in week 5 of flower i believe. and it's supposed to be used in conjunction with a reduced amount of base nutes. you should check out the directions. you reduce the base nutes and add the pk 13/14 to get to your reg. ppm. and if you're in coco, you should be getting a good 10-15% run-off at each feeding and "do not flush" until before harvest.

why yu say do not flush until befor harvest ?

why yu say do not flush until befor harvest ?

completely unnecessary and detrimental in coco. when you allow for run-off, as you should in coco, this acts as a flush. each time you feed, you're clearing out the medium of any residual nutes.

I also flush my plants once a week, my system with promix has trays under the pots and with 1.5' of hydro corn in each of the bottom of containers, i will trays with plain water or water+nutes and let them feed from the bottom and once every 7-10 days i run fresh ph water trough the top of pots and flush out any salt build up and once run off is down i empty the trays and replace with clean fresh water again works great for me everytime...

kk it ok i was just curios thort it wud be the medium
only i never used anythink but soil so ive always flushed 1 time a week
so good to no that as i mite give em a go 1 day i was gonna switch to coco long time ago but u cant beat a good soil
BUT I THINK ID STILL FLUSH EVERY WEEK

YE MATE WORKS GOOD FOR ME ASWELL
