Should i feed my plant full feeding once a week or half feeding 2 times a week

I have a single plant outdoors, she is a cherry bomb from bomb seeds. She in fox farm soil and I use fox farm nutes. I have her in a 3gallon pot, I know its a small pot. She has been outdoors here in northern california since april. I have been use fox farm feeding schedule. I was wanting t know if I should feed her full nutes once a week or give her half nute feedings 2 times a week. any help would be great. Here are some pics from about 3 weeks ago. I will post new pics later today.

We feed full dose every other watering. Focusing on time frames are not as accurate as live testing and responding.

Finger up to first knuckle in the dirt, if its wet then wait. If not then water/feed.

ok so water then feed. so if I feed full dose every other water, wont that cause or could cause nute burn?

I do the same, water/feed/water/feed

Sometimes that means I am feeding once a week, sometimes more often or less often depending on how quickly they are drinking it up, this way the plant takes it in as it needs, not on your schedule.

If you are watering every day, your container is likely too small.

I water every 2 days.

You should be fine, if you ware worried you can do half feedings every other watering a couple times and ramp it up.

ok thank you for the help.

You're doing your lady a ton of justice.
Your plant's health reflects how well you're doing, and you're doing great. No burns, deficiencies, or visible pest/PM/mold problems.
Just keep doing what you're doing, it seems to be working perfectly well.

thank you for the comments. The pot she is in is small for her. She is a few weeks into flower, so I dont wanna stress her by transplanting her. So with the pot being small and being in warm california. I do sometimes have to water her everyday. I water her with just 1 gallon of water per day with ph water. So thats why I was asking if its better to feed full nutes once a week or half feeding 2 times a week.

You still have a couple months before natural harvest.

You have time to re-pot her. It will only help her grow better and faster.

Two things to consider too. You're using fox farm soil. Assuming its frog or fish, it already has mutes and is made to carry a plant all the way through growth. Is it enough, not usually but to answer your question yea you could burn her base on how much mutes are in there now in addition to what you add.

we use organic nutes no higher than 5.5.5 and have no issues feeding every water. Assuming your closer to 10 do the every other water.

We put lime, nutes, AZA, and others all into a one gallon jug and run that trough the pot evenly with no issues.

It is up to u what you will do,you can take the safe road and feed water feed water cycle,plant looks amazing if this is your first grow? you are nailing it but be careful not to screw up in the end,happy growing

I agree with others here... it's working very well what you're doing, so don't fix what isn't broken. This may just become your system that will be successful in future grows too Also, I believe that you won't see any adverse affects by transplanting right now.

fwiw, in soil, what works for me is (when I get to full-nute stage), feed, feed, water, early in flower every three days, and mid-late flower every two days (in 3.5 gal pots, four-to-five weeks veg time).

I'd do the transplant if she shows signs of being root bound. But you can transplant to a bigger pot if you'd like to now since you're in early flower. Transplanting won't stress her out much as long as you don't break the roots.

what would be signs of root bound? what should I look for?

ok she has been outdoors since april, its now august. So that is 4 months of growing, she is about 3 weeks into flowering. so if I wanted to transplant her now, what size pot should I use? I have her in the pot she stated in which is 3 gallons.

When the soil is nearly dry before the next watering, lift her up (a second person is useful for this), and tap the sides and bottom of the pot and it will slide off. If the outside of the soil is wrapped almost completely in roots, it's time to transplant.

If these are outdoor plants, a 5-6 gallon would do, but a 10 gallon would be ideal.
