I am on my third grow...still pretty much a newbie. On my first 2 batches I always seemed to be struggleing with overfretilization. I'm using General Hydro for food...following the directions. I was thinking of trying every third or 4th watering. Any suggestions??? Thanks

Don't use full strength. Start off at 1/4 strength. I use ferts and alternate with plain water that has been ph tested. Do you ph test?

I hate to double check on you, but that sounded like an awkard answer, like you have a well and are passing along what you were told by the drillers? If so, spend $5.00 and go get a cheap kit for now and test it. 6.5 is good. A thorough test, would include testing yr water, testing yr water after the nutes are added, and a test of yr run-off. I'm just trying to be thorough, sorry if I wasted yr time.
Peace
Ihave tested my water...it's for the most part PH neautral.

I have a PH tester...and test my water, run-off and soil. It always reads 6.45 to 6.5. Not acid...or alkiline. I am just looking for a good feeding cycle. I think I will go with every third watering.

if you are using hydro chems in soil i would only use half that is recommended i would say that is most likely the cause of nute burn , to much builds up in the soil
