is only giving your plants 1 gallon worth of nutrients in my 6 gallons of water worth it? i have 50 plants in 20 gallon holes and paying for nutrients is just to expensive i wish i could mix in the full amounts but its just not gonna happen so i can do a gallon worth once a week watering twice a week so its every other watering they get nutrients, once there at there prime theyll be getting 20+ gallons per watering but i will still only be able to afford the 1set of nutrients per watering in 1gallon of water.... should i give it the 20gallons or so right until i start thing the run off will start stop give it my mix 1gallon of nuts then a little more water ontop or mix the tiny amount of nutrients into the full 20 gallons per plant? someone please give me a suggestion im super confused thanks!

Maybe you should use a nutrient line better suited for outdoor grows.

A little reading through some of the outdoor veteran growers threads might shed some light on a better product for large outdoor grows.

dry amendments, do the math, mix em in. topdress later as needed. Those liquids that you're buying are probably just dry amendments mixed with water at a warehouse somewhere. Cut out that expensive middle man.

Absolutely, worth it. Imo better,because you won't over fertilize them like so many people do.

Just put in one gallons worth of nutrients, and mix it with 6 gallons of water. Keep it simple, it's better than nothing and it will be enough.

I would try to give them 1/4th recommend strength every watering, rather than every other watering.

As for flushing, a tad of unsluphured molasses and plain water for the last two weeks is all that is needed.

Some nutrients is better than none. Maybe look into brewing your own. I spend about 200-300 for a full season fertilizing everytime i water. I usually have stuff leftover to start the next year as well. Guys in the organics section will be glad to help you start making tea!

If you don't have cash to fully feed all of them then you should experiment. What is your soil mix? Is it a 50/50 mix? Or pro mix?
If you have a good 50 mix them you can pull them if not to big and by organic nutes to mix in then you would only need to water and add teas. If they are big then you can top dress them. The rest you can buy food for. Maxsea is a good one that alot of growers on here use and its a cheap one to use but you can find what works best for you.

Giving them a small amount of food aint gonna cut it. Especially for a full season and fuck naw it aint gonna work of just using promix you are gonna run into problems, have small ladies and do all that work for nothing but house smoke.

Where in the world did you come with this list of shit and yet ask these questions. I'm lost, you've already left port for a world tour on YOUR boat but have no map or idea.
Good luck mate.

Not a hateful bone in my body, i'd like to think maybe a few intelligent, and thoughtful ones though. Have fun.
