not too often at all, now. when i DID, (which i listed the nutes, i have in the beginning of this thread) i used a VERY small amount, as some things r measured by tablespoon to gal or whatever. so, i water with a little styro cup that is exactly a cup i believe, id fill it up halfway, do VERY small amount of nute, then feed. then water next time, then water next time, then feed again. but when i would water, would do almost full cup. All the details r throughout the thread. the technaflora recipe for success starter kit.
about the trimming: im an idiot and was just not thinking lol. i have a friend that use to trim all the time and i actually saw him last night so when the time comes, ill be consulting him so i can watch and learn thru hands-on exp. thats the only way to get it down 100%. And about LIGHTING: I am prolly going to roll LED light on this one, with a combo of my t5 (going to replace my 6500k, with the 2700k and also get another t5 lamp for a 3000k. Going to build a mylar barrier that has openings also. just going to customize a mylar sleeping bag
. Im going to make up for all the light ive made it lack thru veg state so far. my other t5 fix broke will i did my pf tek grow
(which caused me to have to fruit all in one chamber, and also was the root of a contam prob) or else id have another t5 with my 6500k on it. the three cfls have went well but i feel as tho i need to take care of that RLLY soon. and i am. Way too nice of a smell coming from this plant for me to let it turn out cruddy.
