botanicare nutes

the botanicare feeding schedule is a weekly chart. well I grow in soil so, I dont change a res weekly i water every other day. So how do i apply this schedule to my soil grow. should i feed every watering or every other watering. +rep for logical answers.

i have used the pureblend grow and bloom every other watering at half strength first and then upped the strength as appropriate

Apply half strenght. Change the water weekly and use a smaller res to mix the apprpriate amount so none of ur water is being waisted.

Watering every other day seems too often. You should let your soil get pretty dry before watering again. This promotes root growth as the roots follow the water toward the bottom of the pot. You should feed and water only alternatingly. So if you water only on Monday, then feed them on Thursday or Friday and then water only on Monday or Tuesday. Depending on the phase your plant is in and the size of the container and the porosity of your soil, normal watering schedules are every 3-5 days.

I feed with about 1/2-3/4 ounce per gallon of pure blend products every 2 out of 3 waterings. The third watering contains no nutes, just liquid Karma and calmag. It works for me and the half-strength advice is a great starting point.

Bloom soil very nice
Lovely smell from buds

im using botanicare pure blend soil formula 1-4-5 full strength. i also mix water ,bat guano and lots of pure blend into a spray bottle and then i spray the plants 2 times a day with that and 2 times a day with fresh water i have a fan that keeps the plants from staying wet long so no rot or fungus. i have noticed tremendous growth using this method.
