Alot of people say you dont need to feed nutes during the first few weeks, cause the soil you are using (new bag soil, hopefully) is full of nutrients, so fertilizers aren't needed.. Well, I use em all the way through, and I get a little bit of yellowing, here and there, but its never anything bad, like outright BURN, or damage to the plants, but it always goes away and my plants end up doing fine, growing around 1 inch a day during veg. I use nutes all the way through from day one on. I fill up a 40 gallon reservoir and use a pump attached to hose that I use to water the plants in my grow room, and I measure it by timing the amount I let the water run. 30 seconds of water is about half of a pitcher, so I alternate as the get bigger, starting at 10 secs, and going up to 30-45 secs when they reach 48 inches during flower. Now, the question I have is this.. I was going to start my own watering thread but I figured Id ask here... When I water my lawn I have it set to come on a couple times a night for 7 minutes each time. Ive read that instead of constant watering, it's better to water in short intervals. So, Ive been watering my plants alot less, because I use to notice alot of the water would overflow and just leak out the bottom of my pots when I got towards the end of my cycles and I was using more water. Well, I wondered if it would be better to water like that in my grow room, or if its better to water all at once, then just wait until they need it again, soil starts to look dry, etc. So, instead of watering a plant with a half to 3/4 of a pitcher and having half of it leak out the bottom, filling it with a quarter pitcher, then going back in 6-10 hours and filling it up with some more water. I think they will drink more if the get it intervals like that, and less nutrients will get wasted (that shit is expensive!!)... Any feedback please?
