Can I Nute Twice in a Row ? Jack's Classic & Blossom Booster

I have a Kerala Krush plant which has been determined to be nutrient deficient....

I use Jacks Classic 20-20-20 and BB 10-30-20....At the advice if the local hydro guy I also fed them some GH Rapid Root, and GH Floralicious PLus....(I let me mix get bone dry which I now know is a no-no)

Anyways plant was yellowing, purple stems, slow growth, etc...

Jacks dosage minimum is 1/4 tsp/gall.

PLant is about 3 weeks into flowering...Prior to yesterday I only fed her 3 x...

twice the minimum dosage, and then I upped it to 1/2 tsp/gallon...

The local hydro guy had suggested before yesterday's feeding that I give her max dose...But I just couldn't bring myself to do it...Max dose is 1 tbl ! So I was a wuss, and only upped it to 1 tsp....

Well in 24 hours since I fed her, and I see a decent improvement...The plant has definitely gotten a little bigger, and the yellowing seems to have slowed....

This plant flowers for 9 to 11 weeks so I still got 6 to 9 weeks left...

Question(s) is:

I know you should alternate between watering and feeding...But in this case should I just go ahead, and nute her again instead of watering next time ?

And, if so, should I stick at the dosage I just gave her 1 tsp/ gall ? Or should I up the dose ?

thanks, SC

Kinda 1 or the other, either up the dose and feed every other time, or feed less and feed every time. i like to feed less and feed everytime.

Chuck, well what I think I will do is at least feed them the left over nutes from this feeding.....I mixed up a gallon, and only fed her a half gallon.

Well she took well to a max dosage but still looks a little deficient....And this was after I bumped it to the max dose from 1/3 dose....

I'm thinking about nuting a third time in a row....perhaps with another max dose ? Can't see why not if she is still exhibiting deficiencies, right ?
