Water/Feed Schedule help during flowering

My plant was in a 8 inch plastic pot and I just transplanted it to a 5 gallon bucket the other day. After the transplant i watered about a gallon and a half of water. It seemed to do wonders. My schedule has always been feed every other water and water every other day, feed,water,feed,water etc. I have been giving my girl a gallon of water each time since and i get a lot of drainage, which isnt a bad thing but my main question after all of this explaining is....

-Is this a good feeding schedule?

-Am I watering too much or too little, or maybe just right?

-And how much Fox Farm Tiger bloom to use? The first week or so of flowering i used 2 teaspoons. Since then i have upped it to 3 and a tablespoon of molasses.

My plant is about 7 weeks old. A bit over a foot tall (probably more because of LST) I switched to 12/12 at 3 weeks because of size constraints(ended up making a new grow box anyhow because a full harvest in a rubbermade is impossible) and it took about a week or a little more to flower. So id say ive officially been in flowering 2 or maybe 3 weeks. Im bad at keeping track.


I havent seen an problems with what i'm doing yet except the leaves look sad every one in a while so to speak. Like slightly drooping but color looks healthy.

Help would be appreciated thank you.
Happy Growing :leaf:

Sounds like your doing great. When do you notice the leaves looking sad? Before or after watering? The end of the day? When temps are high?
I believe that people count the days of flower from the day they switch to 12/12.
Watering schedule depends on many factors so it's hard to say. If the buckets are still heavy then I'd wait another day. I like to dry the top a bit before watering again but it still depends on the size and requierments of the plant and enviroment. If you have a nice loose airy soil you can't realy over water once the plants roots have established. The more you water the more air you force to the roots. It's better to have airy soil and water alot than to have a soil that holds water well.

Any pix?

too much water. i would use less water so u can water and feed more often in the flower stage. thats a good dose of fox farm. dont go to heavy. mollasses is great too. keep it circulated with air and around 70 to 80 degrees and u should be good

Go easy on that Tiger Bloom, it's pretty hot stuff. You won't need high levels of fert when growing under cfl's, as the light intensity is much less than HID's. I'd move those bottom lights up a bit, it doesn't do any good to light the underside of the leaves.
 
Well those lights are hitting all the bud sights that the top 2 cant hit. You cant see my nuggies yet cause theyre still kinda small for the camera i used :P

u know if u spread those long shoots and pin them down u will get way more growth in the middle and will get better and more flowers
