How many times should i be adding nutes to the water on my plants? using http://www.cannagardening.com/growguide the terra guide i've been watering every 1-3 days with nutes following the chart but i red up that its better to just flush once every three or something. Just stoned thought:eyesmoke:

You growing in soil?
If so, many people do a water/water/feed schedule.
I've been getting impatient, and I look at my plants several times a day (like it will make things happen faster LOL) and I have been feeding every other time, with molasses every time.

Note: I am not feeding quite as high as the package recommends, but almost.

You can do water/water/feed as imchucky666 says...and water/feed/nothing/water...and 1/4 strength feed every watering 1/2 strength every other.....on ad infinitum. There must be as many feeding schedules as herb strains!
Go with a simple schedule of your own, you'll tune in to your plants, and become a much better gardener for it.
These manufacturers plans just confuse the issue, and encourage you to use more product and become dependent on theirs​...imo ;)

i water as much food as the plants can handle, and as far apart as possible, so like 7-10 days between waterings, and depending on plant size, and strain, anywhere from .25 tbsp- 2 tbsp of nutes with other additives depending on size and life stage eg. molasses when its in flowering, or cal-mag when its a large plant

Feeding every other watering is best in my opinion so you don't over do it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT watering every day, I mean feed every other time I water, and due to the fact I'm impatient and am constantly looking at my plants, I am always looking for new stuff, so I would notice within a day if they were reacting poorly to the feeding schedule.

I feed every time I water. With molasses and kool bloom powder. Be careful I've burned my plants a few times.

In veg I water everyday and feed every other watering with FF Grow Big.

In flower I feed everyday every watering up till harvest with Dyna-Grow Bloom.
This is called "pumping" and brings LARGE healthy plants.
Flowering weeks 3-6, I add Molasses and liquid Seaweed/Kelp extract once a week and I add shooting powder flowering weeks 6-8. Flowering weeks 7-8 I
replace the molasses with raw honey and continue with
the seaweed/kelp liquid extract and shooting powder.

Week 9 over ripe, I like to wait this xtra week to harvest to bring the couch lock effect in.

30 gal plastic pots that hold a little over two
bags of 1.5 cu.ft soil in each pot and plants
that were topped 5 times
are 9 feet tall at 13 weeks old and I have 7 weeks left
of growing to go till harvest. Small pots and little bit of
soil give big bushy plants. Mine are Skywalker OG's.

Until a grower is well accomplished in growing the herb (which I'm not...yet :)) it doesn't make too much difference which of the top Herb nutrients we use...
I reckon...;)
