Is missing feeding day a couple times bad?

Does it cause any stress? It obviously reduces the ultimate result but, how badly? I am hoping maybe some of you have been through this before. .

Thanks

I still do this some of the time. Ive been trying to see how low i can keep my hydro setup without negatively effecting my girls healthwise. I think ive been aiming for 700 this run but im staring more like 600 and then when the res is at half full its ends up being closer to 700.

Yea it depends on the strain but imo most plants don't need as much food as growers tend to give them!
 
I've skipped a feeding or two hear and there on some grows. I didn't notice anything all that bad. Its more of an issue if they are thirsty and you skip watering/feeding, which I've done this because I assumed my plants would be fine for one more day when I was real sick and just couldn't muster up the strength to even water that day. What happened was the plants, I don't know if this is the right word but I'll just say they sucked up the moisture from the bigger leaves. When I did start to get worried about my plants going any longer and still was sick but managed to finally check on them. The smaller leaves were just starting to look like the plants wanted to suck that moisture right up from those leaves too, and the bigger leaves were done for. I watered and the plants recovered for the most part pretty rapidly. All but the bigger leaves were saved. After that mistake I learned this could be used as a technique for easily removing those bigger leaves, but I don't recommend doing this. Back to the feeding and not just watering. I have to agree with some of the other comments that it depends on strain, but there are many other factors. The grow medium, if it is inert or organic, how well they have been cared for, or what they have been given up till that point. Some plants might need something that others don't for example, so one plant might do fine skipping a feeding while another plant might really need something and show it more so than a healthier plant would. There are many variables. Skipping a couple feedings back to back, or just skipping a couple feedings at different times during the entire grow. Over all I'd like to say that really if a feeding is skipped, this could either be no big deal or if it's during a critical stage in bloom for example when the plant is thirty and bulking then skipping a feeding might have more impact. I'm actually feeling a bit sick tonight even so I hope this helps, I'm not in the mood to go back and read it again or fix anything tonight. I ate some bad jalapenos or maybe it was the salsa that I scooped from a bin at 7-11 when I got some nachos. Been feeling like crap ever since and it's getting worse. Sorry, but no joke. I'm even shooting flames.

Man you might need to go get checked out not to scare you but I remember I got really sick and all i remember eating was ARBY'S lol and for about 2 weeks I was sick as a damn dog later found out I had stg 4 cancer. Now I'm not saying that Arby's was the culprit but needless to say I don't eat there food anymore. It aint fun being sick and you have plants that need your attention lol!
 
As with what everyone is saying, you should be fine, but it does depend on growing medium, if you're in soil that's quality, that may be able to supply nutes when you forget, but something sterile like coco would not be able to do the same as easy. If your plants are hungry or thirsty, they will let you know. So if everything is still looking good, don't worry and feed them when you remember to.
 
Dude it real bad!! But dont beat ur self up over it.. jkdn.. its ok better to under feed than to over feed plus it kinda stresses the plant just enough to make her stronger.
