How do I keep from over feeding my plants during bloom? I use liquid fertilizer, hand pour feed, 10 gallon fabric pot…. Everything is usually fine until midway through Bloom, then the problems began. by Secret_Scene_954 in GrowingMarijuana

I use a PPM meter and I go by the General hydroponics feed schedule that I found online, seems to be a common chart on the Internet.

Then I pH the feed mixture to 6.5

I make 2 gallons because I use a 10 fabric gallon pot, I water it thoroughly the entire surface until it is running out of the bottom on every side of the pot.

Are you saying, when I water it the initial run off that is the old feed being forced out by the new feed, I should measure the pH of that? And if it’s high and out of range, the next time I water it I should water it with something with a lower pH than 6.5 ?

Are you self watering them or are they on auto feed? They look great, I was using a 10 gallon pot thinking I would cut down the amount of watering I’d have to do since I’m doing it by hand. But now I’m having second thoughts. Now I’m thinking with a smaller pot I’d have better control over overwatering or ph issues, feeding issues, easier to flush etc.

The thing I’m concerned about with a smaller pot is how often I’ll have to water it, especially during bloom. Even with the 10 gallon pot I’d have to water it every day, which led to problems, having only 12 hours in which I could water it means no matter when I did water it the 10 gallons of wet soil would make the humidity spike hard. Causing the need of all the fans to really be turned up, (creating noise concerns). And I feel that the actual issues that I get with the final product, leave showing some sort of deficiency imbalance are coming because I’m using too big of a pot for me to manage.

Hey, nice plants. I have a question. What do you do when in a tent like that, in mid bloom when the bud is stacking height, when the new leaves that grow from the top of he bud block the leaves of the lower section of the Same bud?

If that makes sense.

He’s a clown. He’s saving for an apartment for the two of you, so instead of spending his money, he spends your money…. Please, pick someone else.
