So i started watching harley Smith's videos and right off the rip i have been watering all wrong, i was giving plants just a little water every day and not soaking pots until I got run off, so i started soaking pots and only have to water every 2 to 3 days now depending on temps, i guess its a start!!!

HELLS YEAH I watched one of his videos a dozen times, always learned something new. Its hard to absorb all the info in just one viewing, like impossible.

I water them really good total saturation, the first time I transplant into a 5 or 7 gal., then and this depends, but I dont do that every time sometimes its just a couple of quarts so I know that they are not dying of thirst yet I know that there is no way I am over watering them. The trick is not to get dry spots in the soil so I water around the pot a little let that soak in then do it again instead of just dumping it all in one spot when I water.

Believe it or not there is a slight skill to just watering a plant. I dont ever let the soil to get too dry because that will cause stress on the plant, I like to try and keep the soil moist like a fresh piece of cake.

Well i definitely got something out of wack and need to figure out what lol, maybe different watering technique will help out....

Dynagro is pretty powerful stuff. I only used 3 ml/gal when I use it in hydro and Pro mix. I do love me some Floranova though.

What do yall think is a good dose per gallon? I know thats a hard question to answer but before i was doing 1/4 teaspoon per gallon every watering but i now know my watering technique was way off! Only been watering every 2-3 days now soaking pots all the way through

yep, my max dose of FP is 2mL/gal. i start seedlings at 1mL/gal

@beercan get a bottle of DG foliage pro instead. use it start to finish. the DG grow and bloom are crap for cannabis. especially the bloom. 3-12-6 is a shit ratio for cannabis

edit: and add a gram per gallon of Epsom salt. if not, you'll have a Mg deficiency. way too low in Mg (0.5%) IMO.

Honestly that may be what I'm running into then, add Epsom salt every watering?

yep.
towards the end of bloom, bump it up to 2 grams/gal and it will increase the smells b/c of the sulfur

I always recommend 1 tsp per gal though gets you about 250 ppm of mag

Once a week-two weeks. as often as needed your plant will tell you, you have to give it time to work nothing happens overnite.

Yup gotcha, changing up watering methods seemed to help so far
