Thank you so much, again.Look for 20% run off when you water/feed. Water by weight, not date.

Over watering comes from how often you water not the quantity of water used. Think of a sponge used to wash dishes whether you pour a gallon or five gallons on it, it'll only hold so much water and the rest will run off and in a few days it'll be dry. Take the same sponge and 5 gallons of water, but only use a half gallon a day and that sponge is gonna be sopping wet for a couple of weeks. That's where the problems come from. I agree with jypsy dog, don't go by a schedule get the feeling of weight while the soil's dry and water it before it gets to that point. Hopefully this makes sense.I suspect, after talking to some people and doing some thinking, that you are correct! May I ask you how much water or tea you would use on a single plant in a 5 gallon smart pot? Trying to see if I'm even giving too much per feeding. I am currently watering about 1/4 gallon water or tea per plant. Let me know what you would do. FYI it's a dry heat here in Cali (if that helps)
