Follow the dosing guide that came with the nutes (you can go lighter if you like). The ppm’s are more for coco/hydro than soil. What nutes are you using?

I only ever grew in DWC and use technaflora nutes that includes bc boost, bc bloom, sugar daddy, awesome blossom, etc... When I do DWC this current strain likes 1000 PPM.... I'm done growing inside after 9 years so I'm using these nutes up.

These are the nutes. I'm just gonna start giving them the flower nutes.

In looking at the calculator, I’m not sure if those nutes are designed for soil, but they may be. Use their directions.. Also I’d be a little careful if those nutes are 9 years old, they may not be any good. If they’ve precipitated out, inside the bottles I wouldn’t use them.

They are a few months old... Yeah they are designed for soil I think... Well at least there is a soil choice in the calculator.

If there’s a soil choice then you’ll be fine.They are a few months old... Yeah they are designed for soil I think... Well at least there is a soil choice in the calculator.

Yeah soil is double the amount of nutes from the DWC option. So if I feed at 1000ppm in DWC, double would be 2000 ppm in soil..... How often do you use nutes and mix in with the water for soil? Like once or twice a week???

Most people do feed, then water only, then feed , then water only, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. (LOL)Yeah soil is double the amount of nutes from the DWC option.

Depending on size and temperature I’d start with a gallon or so, a good rule of thumb is water out to the drip line of the plant, the roots are within that zone.

Then I’d water to about 10-20% runoff.The plant is probably 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall and i'm using 7 gallon buckets that are 1 foot by 1 foot. The roots ain't huge with this strain if thats a thing.

Still probably about 1 gallon though when I water? ...Also how often do you water, say its 80 degrees 5 days in a row with no rain do you water every other day or what?
