Plants drinking more water adjust nutes?

so right now I’m watering my plants with a half gal of water w. Nutrients every other watering. I started at the lowest dose and I am working my way up to a full dose. Now the last time I gave them water with nutes there was barely any runoff. So this time I will give them 3/4 of a full gallon of water with nutes. Do I need to adjust my nute measurements since there will be more water? Or just leave it as is because it will help prevent salt build up?

growing in 3 gal fabric pots. With a mix of FFOF , FF light warrior, and perlite.

here are the measurements of their last feeding:
GDP 5 weeks into Veg:
Nutrient watering
Nute feeding:
Big Bloom: 1tsp
Grow Big: 1/4tsp
Cal-mag: 1/4 tsp
Si armor: 1/4 tsp
Ph 6.50 ppm 651
Runoff
No runoff to measure

Pineapple Express 5 weeks into Veg:
Nutrient watering per half gallon of water.
Big Bloom: 1 1/2 tsp
Grow Big: 1/2 tsp
Cal-mag: 1/2 tsp
Si Armor: 1/4 tsp
Ph 6.44 ppm 764
Runoff: no runoff to measure

You're doing coco I assume? How big and what type of pots are they in?
The good thing about coco is that you can see what they respond to and fix problems quite easily.
Give them the extra dose, if they don't like it you'll know by next feeding and drop it a bit

Look...we ain't mind readers and we ain't putting in effort to search for your pics. If you have a question it would make alot of sense to also post pics of your issue under normal lighting so we can see what you are talking about. Or don't, they're not my plants...

Your ppms are fine for flowering, but start watering to plenty of runoff, otherwise the salts will start building up and the result won't be pretty.

When do you plan to flip on 12/12?
Click to expand...
next week. I only wanted to Veg for 6 weeks because this is my first grow and i wanted to get through it with as little mistakes as possible. So far so good. Lights off @ 12a.m, lights on @ 12p.m. its the best schedule i could come up with to work around personal and work times. I will be stopping all LST and pruning by week 2 of flower and just let em grow. Do you have any other advice that could help during flowering? my end goal is 3-4 oz per plant. If you need more information or pictures let me know.

I assumed it was coco with what you said and your not feeding to run off.
Idk what ffof/ff is but you made it sound like coco talking about run off and zero run off.

oh lol..its cool no its just soil. FFOF ( is Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil) its just better to abbreviate it since its pretty long to type out. I have been feeding to runoff but these girls are a week away from being flipped to flower and the last watering i gave them was a half a gallon and usually i get some runoff but this time i got barely any. I would assume they are drinking more water or maybe it has a denser root system so the water is taking longer to reach the bottom of the fabric pot. I just wanted to know if i give them more water 3/4 of a gallon, do i need to increase the amount of nutrients i give them?

Why are you giving the GDP less nutes than the pineapple express? Are you seeing a difference in growth and trying to keep them equal? Does the GDP just respond better to less? ...Or are you just seeing what a lighter strength does in comparison?
