So im doing a small cfl soil grow have a girl 2ish weeks into flowering and was wondering if I should be giving her botanic pro bloom nutes (1/2 strength) at every watering. Watering about every 4 days cause its a smaller 83 degrees room (Fan drys the soil a bit). What you guys think to nute or not to nute....

I fed nutes (12/12) at 900 ppm for first week then moved up all the way 1300ppm by the 5th week. And I nute every watering. Remember to check plants daily by lifting them.

i nuted every watering and burned 3 out of 6 of my plants!!!! so i would say nute every other time cuz some strains cant take it (my alaskan ice burned bad but 1 of my trainwreck was unaffected lol) so i say its better to play it safe!

Slow and easy is correct, but trial and era is my game. Once I find out how much I can push, then the clones will be all set. No guess work. Besides I just flush them if there starts to be a problem.

I have been growing the same strain for a couple years now (unknown indica dominant) and it is a really good strain. Very predictable. I have gotten my system down to Water - Nutes - Nutes - Water - Nutes - Nutes Water. I start with half strength and move up to 3/4 strength throughout flowering. I soil grow and add 1 tbsp / gal of molasses once flowers are forming when watering & feeding. I also use veg nutes in the flowering room until the flowers start to form and then switch to the flowering nutes. It seems to give them a good spike of growth before the flowers form.

Thanks all! Thats what I think i'll do (nute nute water), because I have been nuting my plant every watering and shes fine! Long term on the "nute every time schedule" I am a bit afraid of salt and nute build up. Also I keep hearing that I need some sort of organism in my soil to break down the molasses , I have miracle grow organic soil which has these organisms right? Heres my baby right now (10 days into flowering), what do you guys think, been giving her 1/2 strength bloom nutes 15 ml (nutes)/3 liters (water) but no molasses. Should I start the mollases? [By the way the burns on a leaf or two are from the cfls so no worries!;-)]

I know your not using FF but with my last grow I nuted every watering in moderation and had awesome results. I flushed when I changed over to flowering then flushed two weeks before harvest then water and molasses till 5 days before then I let the plant suffer to extract the last of resin..:)

Give your plants nutrients every feed make some sort of cover tin foil anything that will bounce the lightback up most of your feed is been too by your lights heat.flush them at least 1 during the flowering period.Just cut circles out of foil and make a hole in the middle same size or a little bigger than stem then cut stright line to hole and cover the soil this will help with evaperation and cut down on your watering tenfold let the top 2 ince dry b4 re watering put your fingers in this will help get a far better root system and will help your plant from becomeing prematurely root bound.
