You water when they WANT water, need to learn to read em, there is no such thing as a schedule to follow

One more question
what would you say is the perfect nutes for Veg, & Flower (High Grade Strains Such As: Short Rider, Lemon Skunk, White Rhino)
i heard 20-20-20 is good for veg and 10-30-20 is good for flower
but i heard of people using half to a quarter percentage of that? i just want to be sure that im not going to mess up these plants with too much nutes

To date there is no such thing as the perfect nutes, just knowing how to use them and if you know how to use em any nutes will work but some are better than others in terms of the chemicals used and the processes used

the NPK's you mentioned are the same as one of the nutes I use which is Jack's Classic and the 1/4 to 1/2 strength thing is because of how we feed to push the plant harder (which means we feed more often)

I totally explain my methods for feeding and watering in my sig link threads

Hey guys, could you give me any and all 'rules of thumb' you have heard regards to growing cannabis? I am both interested in how they might help me, and compiling them for proofing and future distribution. Here are some that I've already heard:

  • Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry

  • Water when pot feels as light in weight as it did before watering

  • 1 gallon of soil per expected foot of growth

  • No Nutes until after week 2 (above ground)

  • Start nutes with 1/4 of the bottle recommended dose

  • Put your hand above plants highest tip, if its too hot for you raise the light

  • Wait to LST/HST/TOP/etc until the 5th node appears

  • Flush once a month (or every 2 weeks?)

  • Dry weight will be 1/4 wet weight (.15% for dry weight after water cure)

  • Air dry 5-7 days

  • Transplant when plant is as tall as its container

  • Transplant into container that is twice as large

  • Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry I would say 3 to 4 inches, but for me this is when I feed

  • Water when pot feels as light in weight as it did before watering I never wiegh the pot I let the plant tell me when it is ready

  • 1 gallon of soil per expected foot of growth This is the rule but not always true

  • No Nutes until after week 2 (above ground) IMO this depends on the soil you are using

  • Start nutes with 1/4 of the bottle recommended dose This depends on how you are feeding

  • Put your hand above plants highest tip, if its too hot for you raise the light This is total crap, a serious grower should have a light meter and give the plant what it needs

  • Wait to LST/HST/TOP/etc until the 5th node appears I would change this to when it matures, but a lot do mature by the 5th or 6th node

  • Flush once a month (or every 2 weeks?) I flush everytime I water, watering, flushing, leeching is very misunderstood

  • Dry weight will be 1/4 wet weight (.15% for dry weight after water cure) This is true

  • Air dry 5-7 days This is true

  • Transplant when plant is as tall as its container not always the case would depend on plant vigor

  • Transplant into container that is twice as large This would depend on your planned intent

Not hatin just trying to spread the facts, a lot of this stuff is based on partially true myths

Hey Riddle Me,

that was some interesting Reading Bro! No way am I gonna read the whole thread just yet, lol, but I read the posts about Sun and Shade leaves and about Silica, very Interesting indeed.

One last Question :idea:

Lets say my Sativa Dominant Plant completely grew out of Control and Sprouted fresh leaves everywhere, I'll leave them because its benefiting my lovely Buds, BUT, if the leaves grew TOO much and I absolutely positively HAD to cut them, lol, should I only cut the smaller Sun Leaves and leave the larger Shade leaves intact? Or doesn't it make a difference when unavoidable Pruning is required? Also, should I consider what type of leaves I for take for Clones? Does it matter if they are Sun/Shade? Or is the leaf type Irrelevant?

You've started a Good thread over there, I'll have to read the rest :clap: but knowing I should keep all of my Leaves is good to know! Even the ones that stay in the Shade. Good Read.

Thanks Again!

As I already said,,,,I cut no leaves, I believe in having a garden that is adjustable to accommodate plant growth

and know that if you HAVE to that the plant will adjust to it by regrowing them in some fashion which stunts other wanted processes

also for your reading pleasure I have put most of my research threads into post in my new blog (Ridleme's Nuggets sig link) makes easier to read and find
