A much more experienced grower told me on an earlier thread that i should be feeding every other watering rather than every watering. So, a day or so back I watered with just pH balanced distilled water. The next day or so, I aready noticed red stems coming back (back when i was figuring out how much i should feed them, they stayed around until i found a balanced amount of nutes to feed). I'm wondering, are red stems kind of a minor thing?
I heard that it may be genetics but also red that it's also signs of a deficiency along NPK. When I did up my nutes a bit the leaf stems were nice and green again (and some that were on the main stem stopped appearing).
Also, because I watered them with just distilled water and they appeared, I'm guessing they'd lessen so the next time i feed em, but come back again when i water again.
Which brings me to my question,
let's say my schedule is FEEDING EVERY OTHER WATER with HALF NUTES.
Would that be the same effect, salt buildup, as FEEDING EVERY WaTER with FOURTH NUTES?
or
is 'feeding every other watering' much more important that i should up my nutes so it'll carry over through the watering period?
