My second year of growing and I finally broke down and went into a grow shop and bought some actual nutes. I started with a relatively cheaper "organic" A and B kit.
I'm growing in gallon pots with pro mix potting soil indoors under cfl.
The dude at the shop suggested watering every two days and feeding every second watering according to the guide that came with the nutes.
Does this sound like generally good advice?
Given the way I used to water (see below) I'm not sure now how to tell when I've watered enough from the top while the pots are in place. Any advice on how to determine the right amount of watering would be appreciated as well.
Just some background:
My first grow was in organic mix outdoors and it was excellent but I did not want to continue outdoors.
For my past indoor grow I would submerge the pot entirely in the fertilizer solution until it stopped bubbling then drain it and repeat about every 4 or 5 days as required when the plants started looking wilty.
This produced happy looking plants but relatively poor quality end result in the bowl which was extremely harsh and probably over nuted.
