Should I stop adding nutrients when watering cause I’m using miracle grow “soil” and I feel like it my plant can’t take it.. and as it seem it’s over waters so I’m not going to water for a few days or more.. it’s a 3gallon pot and is this good drainage or should I add more holes ? Help!! Any pointers would help
Holy shit that is a sad plant!
I'm assuming massively overwatered as a start!
Make sure your only w as teeing when the soil is DRY. Most new growers are afraid to let the dirt dry out, and that's when they hurt the plant first.
Imma share a bit about my style so maybe you can copy it.
I use big pots but you can do it on any size.. but I NEED to do it on this 30 gallon pot. Any ways, I drill holes along the side and cover it with duct tape, so I can peal it back an visually see the water level (wet dirt looks differant than dry dirt) and at the bottom of the pot I cut a hole big enough to stick my finger in.
I dont water till that finger hole is almost dry, an in such a big pot that can take a little while, 4 days on average, but it's also a massive plant that gonna give me over a lb by itself.
Next grow dont use that miracle grow... it's got a horrible reputation for a reason an your looking at it! If you wanna go cheap like I do, goto a nursery and buy a premium potting soil. You'll probably pay around 20$, but you'll get a huge bag. It will be worth every cent! For your nutrients in veg get a cheap 20-20-20. Theres a lot of brands that cost 5-10$$ , dont blow your wad on nutrients!
For flower it's a bit harder to find a cheap fix, but look for a 1-5-4 if you can find it or something as close as possible to that.
NOTHING TIME RELEASED.
