Feeding schedule: Blue Dream

Second time growing. I think I have been overfeeding my babies. I feed them at every watering, but I am now learning I should only be feeding them once a week.

Blue Dream Photos 6th week since flip to 12/12

Fox Farm Soil

Greenleaf Nutrients

7 gallon fabric container

2 x Spider Farm SF2000

Fans and dehumidifier

Right now I water 1 gallon per plant every 2-3 days.

Should I only have fed them every other watering?

Slightly too much nitrogen given the dark leaves and burned tips. It’s not too bad at all. The best way to manage nutrient concentration is to get a PPM meter and use it to test runoff. PPM should be maintained at 1,000, give or take. Apera and Bluelab both make great meters.

Tx for the response. Do people usually feed every watering or like once a week?

As necessary to maintain a 1,000 PPM runoff. You’ll get good at it with experience.

Generally every, or every other, watering. Individual plants will vary in appetite. I’ve had plants that didn’t eat much and others that required double doses of nutes every watering to maintain that target PPM.

I personally dont mind a tiny bit of tip burn. It means you are at the max amount of feeding which is what you’re going for. If you’re concerned you can back off 10% strength of feeding.

It’s a common issue. We’ve had 3 or 4 similar questions in the past few days. Not a big deal unless you start seeing dark, waxy leaves.

Which Green leaf line are you using? I use the Mega Crop 1 part and use less than the recommended dose on the bag :love_you_gesture:

@OGIncognito I use Mega Crop 1, as well as, the other nutrients: Sweet Candy, Kelp, Cal/Mag, and Bud Explosion. I have been using less than recommended of Mega Crop as well.

My normal feed range was around 700 PPMs, when I went above that I started noticing some nitrogen overload. I will say that I ended up with the largest buds I’ve ever grown. Be careful with all the extras as the 1 part covers A-Z with the macro and micro nutrients :love_you_gesture:

I think that the Fox Farm Soil (Ocean) is a bit hot. That is what I started my seeds in bothe grows. I think next time I will hold off on the nutes a few more weeks later.

This is a pic from July 8th. I had already started giving them nutes two weeks prior to this. I think a bit too early.
