Paradise Diesel #2

You've come a long way.
Very nice finish, especially considering how almost all the pics after May showed you overfed.

thank you, and yeah..im working on proper feeding. its kind of hard with such small containers, but i can do better. first i let her get hungry, then i overfed her. gotta find that balance.

i wish i could mix a super soil that lasts an entire grow

Container size should not matter.
You still mix the ratio of nutes to water the same as if you were pouring into a 5 gal. pot.

trust me, its a lot more difficult. the roots use up the nutes a lot faster, but at the same time they dont like the shock of a heavy feeding.

Can you PLEASE explain to me, how the nute to water dilution ratio would vary according to pot size?
Do you know something that the nute companies are not telling us?
I'm a newb, so please explain if it's something that will help me.

the amount of nutrients that can be given to a plant is determined by its roots and their nutrient uptake without nutrient burning the plant, the nutrient dilution can not be increased beyond this. when using a small pot this limits the size of the plant grown by limiting its surface area for the roots to form and uptake nutrients, which stunts the plant and decreases total yield. when using a small pot size this limits the volume of nutrient mixture that can be given at any given time which in turn stuns the plants growth. the only exception to this rule is the 2 litter hempy pot growing system where plants are grown in a perlite mixture and hand watered every day, where a small amount of water is kept in the bottom of the reservoir that the roots reach down into.
