Do they mean for 2 weeks every day they give 3x the ammount of water for the pot size?

I dont think it does just wana make sure.

If you have a hydro setup, they are saying your last 2 water changes should be pure water or water and a leaching agent. This will help get chemicals out of plant and increase taste/not smoking chemicals.

Does that help

I believe 2 weeks before harvest you run a bunch of water through your pot to get rid of excess chemicals and its a one time deal then just water with plain water til harvest

well lets say you have a 2 gal pot. you should use 2-3gals of pure water (some like to add molasses) per gal of soil. Meaning 2 gal pot should get any where from 4-6gal of water each week. Simple as that. make sure you have good drainage too....
Hope it helps

Happy Growings

No. Everytime it needs water and only then u give it pure phd water and at least the volume of the pots worth I do 2x the volume of the pot everytime it needs water for the last 2 weeks. Let it dry out each time though or u could hurt em

Yes what erkel said. Don't water any more often then u do already. But on ur normal watering schedule, u just basically run water thru the pot, if it's a 1 gallon pot pour a gallon, wait till most drains, then another gallon; wait till it drains, and then another gallon. And repeat this the next time that u usually would water. I only do 2x the pot size personally..
