Quick wuestion
Watered my girls today and didn’t account for the pots being larger than before.
I only had enough to water them without getting runoff like usual.
Should I run clean ph’d water through them tomorrow for runoff and scratch it as a water no nute feed or can I leave it for the 5-6 days until dry and give a good clean watering with lots of runoff when it’s time?

I always water till runnoff in Promix. Feed water every time

No issues at all

For you @bk78 this was auto watered, every 3 days in Promix HP till runnoff, on its own for 6 weeks while I was camping. Survived really well on half strength nutes... Getting the color back now before flip at full strength GH flora trio, Charlotte Web mom

I water to runoff daily in happy frog. 1-5gal airpots/smart pots but still. 1gal or less, I DUNK them.

Longest they go is 2 days in early flower when the light isn't 100% power.

I agree it should be water to run off as well.

start a journal now so we can see if you know what’s up in flower.

I appreciate everything that’s been said and everyone’s opinion! Again first time grow and I’m nervous as hell lol but here are my girls so far (only 3 out of 16)
Just tested the soil ph and it’s at 6.3
So next watering will get a lot of runoff to get the salts out with warm ish water :)

Just to add, this is the first time I’ve not gotten runoff as they were transplanted to 1gal pots from their solos
With the solos mixing in 1 gallon of water gave me enough to runoff with all of them and now with the new pots 1gal isn’t enough so I’ll have to mix in 2gal of water to get enough for runoff in each I think maybe 3
