I know you want to water less often instead of more often, but with the 7.5L(2.2Gal) AP's I was watering every 3-4 days. If you control temp and growth rate (trimming and low lumens) it will take less, but you won't know for certain until you try it.

Thanks for that information as it gives me a great reference point.

im wondering if as a result of the low lumen output planned how much longer my liquids will last in the 1 gal pot. Also, being that I'm using a minimal amount of cfl's the temps are pretty low which I am interested to see how that impacts frequency liquid needs. This is where some experimentation will come into play to find my sweet spot

My temps were high, and I would say "high" lumens. colas were seeing 800-1200umoles, I wasn't measuring lumens, but I know what the light puts out. Tubes or CFL's would be lower. I had ~25% perlite in coco, 7.5L AP would absorb 2-3L at feed. In theory you would have longer than I did. I know some of the TLO soil people only need feeds every week for mothers like what you're talking about, but that's not in AP's and in TLO soil.

Good luck.

bonzai. trim often to remove new growth and induce dormant node sites lower on the branch. when they show, trim off the upper branch.common bonzai technique.

root prune. monthly, cut back root ball and repot to induce healthy root zone.
