If you and your little buds can leave me out of your quotes, tags and insinuations I would genuinely appreciate that.
Just go back to Overgrow where you belong. There's not much here for you since you can't openly give out bunk seeds to noobs.

You can't respect my request to leave me alone? None of you can. And then you try to make it seem like I'm following you..
Anyone with a brain can see who is following who in these situations.

I know we smoke kush. But for the last time just go hangout with eachother and leave me alone.
You'll have much more fun that way :blsmoke:

Hold on. Lmfao. So you want to dish it out over and over in this thread but dont want to take it.

There is a ignore button. I suggest you use it because I call out stupid shit and you are definitely a stupid shit.

It seems to be generally accepted that plants being fed in soil should follow a schedule similar to this. Water with nutrients, then just water a couple times. We dont do this in coco or hydro, rather we give a steady consistent amount of nutrients that the plant is happy at. So why in soil? Would the plant not be just as happy or happier if given a steady feed every watering at lower amount? lets say normally you give 900ppm, then just straight water twice. Why not split it evenly into 300ppm every watering and be feeding them exactly the same amount? Those numbers are just an example, important part is just feeding at 1/3 strength every watering rather than feed, water, water. Is there an actual reason why they prefer a varying concentration? I dont see why hydro should be any different.

Coco coir is inert and plain water has nothing in it other than calcium, magnesium, and a few other traces of stuff if you use tap water. That's why you provide a constant supply of nutrients in coco and hydro. Soil can vary widely as far as nutrient content. Some soils never need nutrients and all that's needed is water since the soil itself is rich in organic material and minerals that provide the nutrients the plants need.

Many soil growers overfeed their plants which leads to nutrient issues, crispy fried leaves, or leaves falling off before the plant is ready. It's so common these days that many think that's the way a plant should look at harvest. It's not. But people post their KFC weed plants and get all these new growers telling them it's normal and the plant looks great. Many have never seen a healthy plant at harvest.

I would never give 900 ppm in a soil grow.

Why don't you do another side by side test with seeds, outside?

Wrong caliber. Stupid shit :blsmoke:

I still dont see the logic. Yes, you should read your plants and feed what they ask for, but why in an on/off schedule? Container size is irrelevant. If soil grows use larger container that hold more nutrients, then drop the ppm to match what the plant is consuming. Why alternate feed and water? If the plant shows its getting too much, drop the ppm of the solution you are feeding with every water. What am i missing?

What you’re missing is the fact that soil holds nutrients better than coco/hydro. Therefore you can afford to feed/water/feed and so on.

Or what everybody is on about is that when you match the plants needs you don’t need to have a water cycle.

For example I was feeding every watering a low ppms. 2 days after giving water during flower I got yellowing. Corrected by continuation of feeding.


There you have it babe

Soil has a microbial herd that breaks down the fertilizer into elements the plant's roots uptake. This is an ongoing process based on what's in the soil. So it shouldn't matter if you feed occasionally then water or feed each time the microbial herd is what is feeding your plant when you are in soil.

Does that help?

This literally should’ve been end of thread first post.
