The amount of water depends on the pot size, and the amount of food depends on how old the plant is. When you get more experienced, you will know how much water the plant needs without measuring or being overly meticulous.Does anyone measure there water/food amounts in millemeters before watering and if so how much??
at each stage??
My reason is i dont water till run off so just wondering if anyone does it like me??
You'll eventually harm your plants if you don't get runoff, salts build up in the soil from the fertilizer residue and if you're growing in a peat based soil humic acid builds up and will give you a nutrient lockout.Does anyone measure there water/food amounts in millemeters before watering and if so how much??

what im trying to find is weather or not its better with no run off.
just enough water/food that the plant needs instead of loads of waste that u have to flush.
they look healthy now so dont c any harm yet.
if any probs then will water more but i think my way is money and time saving plus LESS stress to the plant as not flushing.
any experts out there tell me y not.

There's a difference between flushing and watering until you see a SLIGHT runoff.
