They might not need a feeding every watering, I used to feed then water then feed, but let the pots dry between

Sounds good but last runoff lasted me about a week befor pots were starting to get dry

If you know that you’re ahead of a lot of people, they need to dry out and if your using bottled nutrients you need run off or your ph will be affected

Run off while im feeding or wen i water

 

[poundofyourfinest]

All the time and get it out of there or the plants suck it back up. They have small shop vacs

10-10-10 and 20-20-20 are the same (as far as ingredients go). 20-20-20 is just twice as strong. What makes the difference is the dosage = the amount you actually use with each gallon of water.

Some people feed evey second or third watering, I prefer to divide the dosage so that I feed a diluted feeding every watering. Actually that's what I used to do; now I use "Just Add Water" organic soil.

Was just Gunna say that. The ratio is 1:1:1 regardless of it being 50:50:50, 1:1:1, 10:10:10 or 3:3:3. The strength of the solution in ppm is what matters.

I'd be interested to try something more balanced. My medium has 14-2-23 and my nutes are 3-1-4-0 for veg and 2:2:4:1 for flower.
