feeding and water question for flowering plants?

[baddagger]

hey guys wanted to ask for some input. right now I got 12 girls flowering on day 23. there in #7 size pots.. I have about 3-4 gallons of soil in each pot. now its been getting really warm in my grow room(using ac to help keep temps undercontroll) and I had to start watering ever 3 days, cause the soil is drying out from the heat. oh I use two 1000watt hps in my flower room.

Now my question is with having to water more often, every 3 days. how should I got about using add nutes? should I feed every other watering.. or once every 3rd watering? I use 16gallons of water for the 12 plants.. and last time I feed the ppms was around 1500-1600 after I put in all the nutes. this is my frist grow so I figured I would ask cause I don't want to over feed and burn my plants.

well, seems to me yr plants won't burn if the nutes are the right strength. what might happen tho' is that yr pH will drop. that is, you may cause the salt levels in yr soil to increase. if you keep an eye on pH you should be right.

just watch out for excess watering ... plants have a reduced need for water when they're flowering. have a close look at yr soil ... it might get dry on top but may be ok underneath.

cheers!

oh trust me the soil will be bone dry in 3 days.. cause its been getting into the mid 80ies in my grow room. and I can tell just by lifting the pot if its dry or there is still water in the soil.. some times the plant will even start to wilt a little cause of the soil being dry after 3 days.

I would water, water ,feed keep checking runoff if your runoff ppm is low you know you have too feed.
