hello i had a quick question when mixing nutrients
my plants are in 5 gallon pots
and im mixing my nutrients in a one gallon water bottle
do i go by the size of my water bottle or by my pot size?
You want to water until slight run off and then let pot dry out completely before watering again. It varies on temps, type of strain, and what phase of growth you are in but most generally with 5 gallon pots every 2-3 days should be enough. During early to mid flower they will drink quite a bit more.
