I agree with green. Let the soil dry out before giving it another water and drop the nutes for a cycle then ease em back in partial strength every other water. Better to use way less nutes without a way to measure accurately. Most ppl way over do it, don't be afraid to save some of those pricy nutes, a little goes a very long way.

let the soil dry out before you water.

That plant has been over watered to the max. Let it dry until it wilts. If it takes 4 days to wilt, then water it every three days, if it takes 5 days to wilt then water it every 4 days, follow?

Ok, so people are right about it looking like overwatering but by no means should you listen to midnight gardener about letting them wilt. You never want your plants to wilt. That is the dumbest advice I've seen on here in a while. Once your soil goes so dry that your plants are wilting you are 1.) letting your plants wilt and causing stress, and 2.) letting your root zone dry out and damaging your roots which is the heart of the plant.
There are drainage holes on the bottom of that pot. Stick your finger in the bottom hole and feel your soil/soiless. By the looks of it, it should feel very saturated and might even sponge out some runoff. Check the soil at the bottom of your pot via the drainage holes every day until and make a mental note of how much drier it is getting each day. Given that you have a large healthy root system you should see that your soil will become less saturated and lighter in color in 3-4 days. You want to let your soil dry out SOME between feedings but never get bone dry.

Oh, and remove that mostly dead leaf in the first photo. It's not coming back and you don't want the plant to waste energy trying to repair itself. If you have a leaf that's 50% or more dead or is extremely yellow or brown it's best to just remove it. Another reason is that dead material is a breeding ground for mold.

Well duh. It's an easy way to figure out how much water you need. You do it once and you know. What's worse are people like you that make someone think that if they let their plant wilt then it's the end of that plant and OH MY GOD I FUCKED IT UP WHAT DO I DO OH NO IT'S THE END OF MY PLANT AND THE SKY IS FALLING!!! Take a pill and chill dude, it's not the end of the fucking world if your plant wilts once.

You're an idiot. Why cause harm to the plant if it's not necessary? You're giving shitty advice. Of course your plant can bounce back from some wilting but it will affect the plant negatively. You said if the plant wilts in 5 days then water it every 4 days. That's some stupid fucking advice if I've ever heard it. When I start flowering, depending on the strain, my plants will drink every 3-5 days. During different stages of the growth it will vary anywhere from every 1-3 days that I need to water. If miko listened to your stupid advice, every time his plants started consuming more water than before he would experience wilted plants. All you have to do is see when your plants are dry by looking at the soil, feeling the soil, or lifting your pots to see how much they weigh. When you see that the soil is starting to dry up a bit but still has some moisture, lift the pot to feel how heavy it is. Use that weight to judge if the plant needs water. It's obviously amateur hour in midnight's world if he thinks letting your plants dry out and wilt is the solution.

Oh good googly mugly... are they still letting 12 year olds sign up for this site? It must really suck to be such an angry little man. You run with it there bud. You obviously have no clue what I'm talking about. Run along now and let the adults have an adult conersation!

I usually water every 3 or 4 days depending on how quickly the soil dries out - which usually depends on temperature and humidity in the room . As it dries out the pot will get lighter when you lift it , a lot lighter . When I notice it is less than half - more like between 60- 75% lighter , then I water it . After a while you can almost tell without lifting it . I never used the nutes you mention but I usually water two or three time with no nutes and then use the nutes once , depending on what the plant looks like . Too much nutes can kill the plant plus its a waste of money . I try to take notice of how it looks after each time I water it nutes or not cause I'm still learning too . Looks like you can still get some good smoke out of it though , just give it a chance to dry out enough between waterings and you'll do good bro.
