Greetings,
I have grown some plants outside. I am now going to try and grow some plants in 2 gallon pots inside.
I am wondering how I can calculate the optimal amount of nutrients to feed the plants given that I am watering the two gallon pots correctly. I use the "how heavy is the pot" method to determine if the plant needs water.
I will clarify the question as I have not found any good info on this after scouring google.
So yeah a lot of the manufacturers give their recipes usually per gallon (or liter) of water. So that's how you mix the nutrients. My question is how much of that mix would I use per gallon pot size?
I know this is relative to everyones experience but my assumption is that the plant can only take up x amount of nutrients so that is the amount you'd want to administer. You'd be at least just wasting money with more and not pushing your plant to the max with less.
Off hand I am thinking about 8 oz of nutrients per gallon pot size (eg: 16 oz per 2 gallon pot) but I'm looking for some evidence not just my best assumption based on how much dirt I think the nutes can propagate.
Yeah please let me know your thoughts on this and thanks!
