? about feeding nutes and watering

[UnderCoverAgentOrange]

im into week 3of veg from a clone i received and when i water should i be alternating with plain water and nutes? or just nutes for the feeding? and just plain water at the end of flowering or when i switch to flowering nutes? please and thank you

Typically you would alternate between plain water then feed water. We start to give our plants flower nutes when the first flowers start to show. Oh yeah be sure to ph your water every time. When you have about 2 weeks left in your flower period you can give the plant(s) plain ph'd water to start a flushing process to rid the soil of built up salt's and what not left from the nutes.
We are not pro's by all means, but we hope this can help in some way. Good luck with your clone!

thank you kindly sir, she is thriving quite nice..i am going to get the proper ph tester and such tom i have been using bottled water but that isnt a set ph correct so i could be off in either direction correct? and what is the optimum ph i want for my ladies 7?

The ph on the bottled water should actually be more stable than direct tap water(depending on your local area). It does however run higher than it should be. More on the alkaline side of the spectrum. If your plant(s) are in soil I believe you want a 6.5 ph and in a hydro setup you want a 5.5 reading. All we test is our ph at the moment and our plant's do fine. You can of course start to measure your ppm's, but we are not experienced enough to help out with that. Once again We hope this helps out in some way.

u should only start nutes 3-4 weeks into veg
and then give veg nutes like 30-15-30
then for flower 15-30-15

and do a test of water and if if to much alkaline use a couple of drops of lemon juice to lower it
