Feed once a week and water everyother day when seedlings water just enough to see a small. Wet spot In The dirt let the roots grow and search for the water then water more often.

Yeah watering everyday is fine if you're growing organic, for keeping alive and thriving the microbes that transform the raw organic material into nutrients available for the plant, but if you're going to simply add nutrients to your water then I recommend to water only every 2-3 days when the pots are lighter. The pots should feel a lot more heavy when you're watering them.
But as SuperBad421 says if you water only with a small amount it can do the trick to water everyday(ORGANIC ONLY), but as cannabis was a wild plant with thousands of years of evolution behind it, it prefer to have wet/dry cycles like in the wild(And it even prevent root rot..).
And if you NEED to water everyday because the soil dry out too fast, then you're probably root bound(you need to get a bigger pot).
And about the nutrient I'd simply follow the instruction on the bottle and check if any deficiencie appear, if so I'd increase a little bit my nutrients dosage(like 20%) and if I would see any tip burn I'd step back a little bit on the dosage(like 10% at a time)

Got a nice spot in the bottom middle of your new sign to put a pot leaf or three.

Your sticky traps seem to be working overtime there. If those be fungus gnats that would explain the small plant as their larvae chew on the fine root tips and prevent the plant taking up nutrients. I had a bunch of clones years back that just stopped growing but remained healthy looking then I put in some sticky traps and got lots of them. I didn't even know what they were at the time or know that I had them. Just saw what I thought were fruit flies hanging around. I used a product sold at garden centres called Fungus Gnat Killer Powder and sprinkled that on the top of the soil and in a week the clones started growing again. Not sure if they sell it anymore but I got a new can of it at a friend's garage sale last year for a buck. also bought a small pack of Gnat Control at the hydro store last year too just in case. Mix it with water and drench the pots with it.
I haven't seen any for years now but ready if they show up again.

So the small Zkittles and the Grape God are looking so much better after the transplant. So they must have been hungry. I pulled the big Zkittles out of the pot and it is EXTREMELY root bound. Like pure white lol. I didn’t snap a pic though. Is there anything I can do for it without up potting ?

I just use a bread knife and saw the bottom off the rootball to get rid of all those extra roots then shave down the sides to get those long ones too. You can take half the rootball off and repot into fresh soil and watch the plant take off. Good way to keep a mother plant in the same pot for years.

@OldMedUser Hmm ok. Will that let the plant continue growing bigger ? Or is that for like keeping a mom ?

They are starting to look great! You'll get a killer yield with that setup (200w + 200w + 180w = 480w), with one gram per watt you can get at least a pound I guess

@Gift.weed.exe that’s wishful thinking! I’d be happy with .5g/watt Plus I’m not going to veg them very long so I might not even use the blurple.
