Okay, here is my serious question, how many times per week should I give the nutes? I dont want to over do it and I also dont want to under do it. I know what to add and how much etc., but cannot figure out how many times per week and the nute calculator is basically in fucking chinese as far as Iām concerned. I am watering them every other day and sometimes every 2 days when they feel moist. Do I add the nutes every time I water?

I feed every watering, and every 2 daysā¦ Basically, if they need water, I feed themā¦ no breaks ever, but thatās me, some will try plain water every now and thenā¦
If the tip of your leaves barely starts to turn yellow, you are pushing just enoughā¦ if itās more than the tip that turn yellow, cut back a bitā¦ if itās a healthy green all the way to the tip, she can take more!

Iām also doing nutes every feed but in my 10 gals they can take up to 3 - 4 days to need it again.
But too. I water to good run off every time once theyāre big enough to take a good soaking.

I was feeding 2 day on 1 day just water but last 3 weeks hitting hard everydayā¦ This is always one of the hard partsā¦ trying to get your feed just right with something youāve never used beforeā¦ If it were me and yes just my opinion and what Iām looking at and I do believe your in soil coco mix Iād start with smaller doses of nutrients in your water and work up slowly or if you think you can push them a bit do it and see what happens. Theyāre still young less than 30 days I believe

@beths I mix my nutes up weekly in 5 gal buckets (or larger) then feed them for the week

Do you have to keep it aerated, with a pump and airstone or something?
Or do you just shake well before use?

I am 97% sure it needs to be aerated to keep the PH stable, but I donāt use that method, so I canāt be 100% sure.
And since the Advanced Nutrients have a specific order to mix them, Iām not sure it would work for you if itās not constantly aerated to keep things mixed upā¦ 
If youād like to try @Packeeās method and you are not sure, just contact Advanced Nutrients.

Personally I like to mix fresh every time I feed.
Less chance for the ph to swing high or low.

@kapouic when you said if the tips are not yellowing I could push a bit more nutes. By that do you mean increasing the dose of the water or pushing more water/nute feedings.
For example, my nutes say to use 2ml/l for smaller plants and 4ml/l for larger plants.
So, I have been doing 2ml and they usually get about a liter of water every other day. They are dark green with no yellowing tips whatsoever.
How would I increase the nutes? Up to 3ml or go straight to the 4ml or more feedings in general?
Sheesh I feel like a scientist.
Thanks for your help!

When āpushing themā it means just adding bigger doses to waterā¦ Same watering schedule just added more food to it

Do you water until some of it comes out the bottom? Myself, I put 2 ml per liter but water more oftenā¦ it might be very wrong to do it that way, but it works for meā¦ I am just careful to let them get thirsty before feeding them againā¦ The way @scotty17 described is the āānormalāā way to do itā¦

No water came out the bottom yesterday except for one plant. I put a liter of water/nutes each plant (except the baby NL she got way less.)

Thatās how I do itā¦ if itās start to run off at the bottom, I stop. But usually I donāt put as much, but do it more often.

@kapouic I like that makes sense too me for sure I might try ā¦ā¦ Itās like either eating a couple edibles at different times or eating all at once LoLā¦ Either way youāre still getting fucked up

Donāt forget, even if they are gorgeous, they are still young. I respectfully suggest you go slowly and read your plants. Soon enough they will demand more and youāll noticeā¦
You were able to care for a daughter, a few plants shouldnāt intimidate you!
