light feeding vs heavy feeding?

bought some biothrive nutes the directions indicate a light feeding or a heavy feeding i did a light feeding with calmag just wondering what would happen with a heavy feeding would it cause nute burn also what would happen with too much calmag

To many variables to answer this question accurately

growing in pro mix soil plants are 15 days old fed lightly only once using 400mh light

With the calmag to much calcium can block things out, but then again to much of anything can. Are you using tap, RO, rainwater? I recommend doing 1/4 of what is recommended for the light feeding and slowly work ur way up with how the new growth etc comes in. If you get a little tip burn ur a little to much in the Nutes but right where you should be. As plant grows and need more nutrients for growth then start upping the dosage of Nutes, till about full strength. If it shows burn then back off, if deficient then add a little more or what it need. Your gonna have to learn to read your plant and what it is telling you.

Just stick with light unless your plants tell you they need more, when you go to bloom maybe go full strength

if this was my grow, I would feed every third watering and build to full strength feeding 1/4 strength at a time...see how your girlz react, listen to them, they will tell you what they need...to decipher their language you need knowledge. There is TONS of grow and feeding info here on RIU read, study, watch videos etc..Good Luck and great grow!

Maybe pick up a TDS meter. Helps a lot. Normally start seedlings in week 3 or 4 with 300 TDS and work your way up. HM digital makes a good meter for cheap.
