New Grower Quick noob question

[PhxRocker]

First time grower here.

I have 2 Himalaya Blue Diesel's & 1 Russian Rocket Fuel about 19 days old, each growing outdoors in 7-gallon smart pots.

I started nutes a few days ago (AN's PH-perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom) at about 1/4 strength, and they seem to have done well with it...no signs of nute burn at all. I also started giving them a small amount of cal/mag.

I know that you're supposed to gradually try to increase the nutes weekly, but my question is this:

In the warm/hot climate here in the southwest, the pots dry out and need watering every 2 or 3 days right now...and that will increase to every day when the weather gets even hotter as the spring moves toward summer.

Should I water with nuted water everytime they need watering, or should I only give them nuted water once a week and just water with plain PH'ed water the rest of the week?

I have had people give conflicting answers to this question, so I was wondering what you (the experts) thought?

Thanks in advance for any answers or advice....

Anyone??


Seems like it shouldn't be too hard of a question for an experienced grower....Should I use nutes with every watering (save for the final two weeks flushing), or just once a week?

You will get different answers.Every body has ther own idea on how to feed.I would only fert every other water if you are watering alot,You could raise the dose to1/2 strength every other water and this should be fine.

although im not an experienced grower or an expert, if you keep the nutrients at low amounts as you were doing and slowly increase them as the plants grow and mature then you should be just fine giving them nutrients every feed, BUT please please do NOT go heavy on the nutrients slowly build them up, and also make sure to give them a good flush in the final 2 weeks, hope this helps bro

EDIT: namvet is also correct, i suppose its also down to the plants and how much nutrients they can take without having any problems
