Watering question?

[Infam0us420420]

I have 3 gallon fabric pots and I'm not sure how much water each pot needs. I've been giving them a 1/2 gallon to 3/4 of a gallon each day. Some look over watered while others look fine.. 2nd grow and I'm using coco perlite mix.

How much total water should be fed? Or am I ok with what I'm doing. As far as the nutes I use about a 1/4 to 2/4 I try to keep the ppm under 800 and the pH from 5.8 to 6.3

Sorry I know the HPS shouldn't be used till flower but I could only afford that one for now

you want about ten percent run off out the bottom , i haven't went over 500ppm, i am tight with nutes any more is a waste to me , builds salts quicker , then the medium goes crazy , lol its just how i do it, i dont even get salty fabric pots

even get some CLF they will use less power and give you more blue , you need the blue for proper photosynthesis

My tap runs at 400 ppm alone unfortunately and single father of 2 kids with no backing I just can't invest in RO water. But thanks for the advise I really appreciate it

you can work around that , if your water is hard make sure you use hard water nutes ,
