I have a feeding question, I was thinking of trying something new with my feeding but wanted to ask someone who might know if I should do it or not. Question is can u grow bigger plants and buds by decreasing the amount of feed u mix but same strength nutes? Example say u mix up 2L of water for your feeds and your plant can take up to a 1tsp of grow/bloom nutes, would feeding 1L of water and 1/2 tsp be more effective so the plant has to feed more but is still getting the same dose of nutes?
 
I think it's all about 2 things: concentration percentage and run-off.

Your example basically amounts to the same concentration PER FEED but then you're suggesting feeding it twice as often...I think all that will buy you is potential nute build up (and pH issues) because you potentially aren't feeding enough for proper run-off which is used to clear away any residual nutes or salt left in the soil from the last feed. I ran into this issue as a result of not feeding enough volume for proper run-off therefore I was drying out faster. So different reasons for getting there but, I think, same result.
 
Makes sense trap thanks for the insight
