my question is . if your growing big plants 4 foot around and 5 foot tall . do you push the nutrients harder more ppm then you would a smaller plant that is about a foot tall . or push them all the same . i have been hitting them all the same . just looking for some opinions wondering if i should hit them harder , my experience growing monster plants i am a virgin only a few years .experience the 1 or 2 footers i have down . thanks for your time .

It depends on how big the pots are how much you can give them at one time because if you put too much in it burns the roots. bigger plant needs more food than small ones. You can feed a weaker mix at every watering if the pots are small. the best way to tell what the plant is doing is to look at the newer growth it should be a healthy green and if the older leaves start to turn yellow in veg they need more food but in flowering yellow lower leaves is OK.

The larger the leaf mass the more nutrients it will need.. If you push nutes you will burn the plant.
You have to match your nutes to your plant and it needs.. Let it grow, don't make it grow..

peak I take plants to 1000 to 2000ppm

some strains seem to be able to take close to if not 3000ppm before they burn

More age than size I find matters

hydro you can push the ppm`s a little bit more as you can adjust that fast and easy if you burn them in coco or soil you got a lot of watering to do to get the salt levels back down, mostly depends on the strains and what kinda soil bacteria you got going on

also how bushey the plant is and how well the light it getting to all of it

plant size is related to rootball

big rootball needs bigger pot

no matter how big

its always good to have the food where its needed

no pushing required

next grows go organic

and see for yourself

good luck
