As i have to water daily how often should i add nutes? Soil grow !

I av 2 plants in 15 ltr pots and water them 1 and a half ltrs of water daily, as there very dry on top not much weight in the pot, hence the daily water !! Cud any one advise me how often i shud add nutes? Currently i add just water for 2 days then nutes for 2 days at 1 quarter strengh n allways seem to get nute burn, but as i av a lot of yellowing leafs now including fan i ask myself is it gettin enough nutes ? Advice pls !!! Thanx !!

hi have u checked ur run off to see if they are hungry enough check your ppms before u feed then check the runoff to c the diffrence then u can work out how much they are eating i would check ur ph and have it at 5.8 and should be feeding full by the looks of them also what nutes are u using and soil is it coco ?

have u got a ph meter and cf meter

and how much light do you have halide or cfl

1 1/2 liters of water in a 15 liter container I doubt he gets any runoff. Bet your medium is loaded with salts. This is one of those times when it is proper to flush, and i mean flush the shit of them. Run at least 10 gallons(40 liters) of water through each of them.

By testing the run-off with plain water your testing the level of nutes in the soil already, you cant just check what they're eating instantly!

Try starting with water-water-water-feed and work from there, I find water-water-feed is what works for me but it varies on the strain.

i use canna coco prof plus and canna nutes and i never flush and i feed every other day and never have ph or over feeding i agree i would def flush those bitches and let the soil dry out a bit before feeding are u using coco ?

definitely got some nute burn (you can tell by the yellow starting at the tips and moving inward). you shouldn't be watering them everyday. if you find you need to water them everday because the medium is drying up too quick then you should be adding a larger quantity of water when you water and doing it less frequent. When you keep your medium consistently wet you are increasing your chance of root rot...those babies need to dry up and breath a little.

a typical water schedule may look like day1-water, day2-wait, day3-check/wait, day4-water. and then you only have to worry about feeding when you water

also, it is normal for fan leaves to start to turn yellow and die off during flowering, starting from the bottom...atleast this is what i was told and have experienced for my last 3 grows.

forgive im'e new so not on what coco is, but i bought my soil from hydro store, goldseal its called according to the guy its the good stuff, i dont av a ph meter ive just bin using drops n colour chart n allways a piss yellow run off allso, but as i spent up on tent fans filter lights etc, cudnt afford one right now, i use 600 watt hps, n canna nutes, though they aint bin used for 2 years but the sell by date is still good for a month, i dont fancy the flush thing coz its gonna b a headache, but if i new for sure thats what it needs, i wud do it, there 4 weeks in 12/12 in a few days, so still flush?

yeah i will use more water now !! so i guess i am using far to little water accordin to watchow, and here what ur sayin pat man on the water sched, how much water wud iadd to 15 ltr pots? iff i9 add 2 ltrs i get a run off a little, plus iam usin PHdown to pee yellow n the run off is the same colour allso

600 watts hps, is 1 and a half ltrs of water to little for 15 ltr pots ? i water daily as i sed n some one sed there add more water basicaly so i can leave if then for 3 or 4 days before next water, so how much, any ideas?
