I’m interested in this. What type of plant deficiencies were you seeing? All you’re leaves were nice and green still?It really depends on what he's growing In ,heat,amount of sunlight blah blah.. Ive grown hooter in smaller pots and yes towards the end of flowering a large plant consumes alot of water but man 3 times a day is excessive.if your soils good then I certainly wouldn't go that hard .Ive yielded 5 Oz from a 3 gal fabric pot with zero nutes the whole grow. The answer is...no one knows.. but I would say about a pound.
