Watering Issues

I tried to search around before posting this, but wanted to show a pic and get some feedback.

I have been watering everyday, but only 1/2 of 16.9 oz bottle per plant (250ml+/-)
I always dig around the soil and it seems dry, but I may be watering too much. At this stage in the game I dont want to do somthing retarded and ruin my harvest. Any advice is appreciated.

Also - I'm using some Cactus food for them, it is for succulents :) its analysis is 2-7-7 the directions are to put 7 drops per quart of water every feeding, and I've been putting 3 drops per 16 oz bottle.

Most soil growers will tell you to pick up the pot to check how heavy it is. If its still a little heavy than don't water, if its lighter than water it. I can tell you every day is too much, I water my two small soil plants every other day.

The food is lacking nitrogen, your plant is eating stored nitrogen from fan leaves and thus causing yellowing. Get a good veg food and feed them a couple of times with it and the yellowing should stop

If they don't get some N then eventually the yellowing will move to the smaller buds leaves and effect bud development

Don't worry about your ph now, get them fed.. Thats the only problem I see, and I wouldn't recommend using the granules. If you can get some quality food in a liquid form.

And don't waste your money on a soil ph meter, they are inaccurate and a waste of money.. If you wanna "never worry about ph" then next time you plant some ladies add some dolomite lime to your soil and you'll never have to worry about ph again

Don't worry about ph? Come on now, I know quality nutes are very important and I'm sure that is most of the problem, but for maximum yield and good quality you want to make sure your ph is close or else you will have certain minerals getting locked, been there done that.

Feed them with something hat has a higher nitrogen value than the other 2. They won't need them that much until flowering. Nitrogen makes them green, and makes them grow like hell. Just be careful not to burn them with too much

I took some close up of some buds. They look pretty good to me so far. Today is 15 into flowering, day DSCN1168.jpg65 total. The tallest in the back is 24". If I put more than 300 ml of water it starts running out of the bottom, if I put 250 +/- it doesn't. DSCN1172.jpg You can see (kinda) in the back I have two fan leaves that are pretty yellow... will they get green again? or no...
