And what the hell are you talking about.

dont mean to be rude, but are you trying to help or just look cool

I guess that was a little advanced, disregard post and I apologize.......

you need to read the plant... and you can reduce water and feed amounts... spread a 1 week feed and water out over 2 waterings through the week... does that help?

if you are looking for a 1 answer-fits-all.... growing plants doesnt work that way... any plant.

people on here in there journals with really good grows have been feeding on a 2-3 basis
where i have been under the assumption that its best to feed on a weekly basis
also ive been feeding around a litre of mixed tea nutes on a weekly basis
do people feed nutes on a 2-3 day basis ......is that how they get so big

And what the hell are you talking about.

yeh you kinda confused the situation

I guess that was a little advanced, disregard post and I apologize.......

not really
like i'll say again
during the bloom phase we have been feeding 1l of mixed tea nutes on a weekly basis or near enough
but guys on here said they have been feeding on a 2-3 day basis
how on earth have they done that like how much do they feed per feed

you need to read the plant... and you can reduce water and feed amounts... spread a 1 week feed and water out over 2 waterings through the week... does that help?

no i know it varys from plant to plant and what age its at
but im trying to see where i might be going wrong
we know we need a new light
but is it as simple as we have not been feeding the right amount
that why i created this page

 

[JM]

it depends what the plant needs... seriously...

some guys have it tuned... and know what to feed a plant and whenit can take it... you can try it... and you may be fine... but if you overdue it you brn them... it also depends on many other factors:
temperature (growth rate)
humidity(transpiration rate)
lighting (photosynthetic rate and consequently growth rate / nutrient demand, water demand, transpiration rate etc)

so you see why it depends?

That's because some growers feed a specific amount per day, and don't water/feed to soak the soil, they just feed a liter (or the appropriate amount for the plant's size/growth) every day or two. TaNg has well ldocumented his feed schedule, and instead of watering deeply, he feeds/waters smaller amounts, either daily or close to it.
Other growers will figure out what the nute amount should be for the week, then split it into a couple feedings a week.
Still others will feed the whole week's nute amount in one watering, then just pH'd water the next.
For me, as my plants grow, the time between feeding and watering gets shorter- they're using more nutes and water as they grow-So, I need to adjust how often and how much they receive.
No doubt, feeding on a schedule like TaNg's will reap big plants, and legendary yields. That said, it isn't just the schedule. Nam is right- its a pretty complex combination of things that come into play.
