How often do I give nutrients to my plants?

Hi guys so I have attached some pics. My plants are at 5 weeks at old they looks smaller growth to me but look healthy.
I have once watered them with 20% of the recommended dose the nutrients I used coco Cana A & B. I did this 10 days ago.

How often should I water them with normal water and nutrients. How often should I give my plant nutrients?

also I have been told in the past using a fan can help build strength of the plant my room humidity at this stage is 70%-75% average
Room temp is 26degrees average

I am only using one light and only one section of my grow roomTent I’m using half the space because the light is still shining onto the other side of the tent where there is no plants would this effect the growth of the plant as if it was blocked off all that light going to one side would be purely on my plants. What do you think guys?

Everytime you water in coco you should be using nutes. With the size of your plants you can use 1/4 strenght. Personally I was watering everyday when I was in coco. Some water multiple times a day. Some even have drip irrigation which waters constantly, all be it a smaller amount. Make sure to water yo run off of at least 20% meaning when you water i good portion of it should come out 9f the bottom of your pot as you're watering.

Hi

I’ve only watered them once in 5 weeks as I was told I should give nutrients until 25 days they are now over35 days should I water with nutrients every time?

Nutrients should be started once you have a few sets of leaves. Coco is a hydro system therfore your plants eat and drink when you feed them. At a minimum never go more then 2 maybe 3 days tops before watering again. The more often you water the better they grow.
In hydroponics systems tables are flooded multiple times a day.
Nutrients every watering. In the next few weeks give a little more nutrients each time. I like to up the nutrients until I get a slight tip burn, SLIGHT! And usually stick with that particular amount of nutrient mix. @Emilya said it best in one of her posts. If you're not getting a slight tip burn your not feeding enough.
 
It was number of years ago when i done a hempy bucket grow in perlite etc, basically ye feed PH corrected nutrients every watering, using only water will cause the leafs to yellow & drop off !

Coco is classed as inert growing medium aka with out PH value hence the nutrient solution needs to be PH correct to allow the nutrients to be absorbed by the plant.

This does not need to be done daily as over watering can lead to root rot so you need to find your balance during the growing stages of your plant & conditions.
 
Hi guys any one can they plz help me are these male plants??

Hey What’s up Tommy?

I’m a soil grower but coco is totally inert - there are zero nutrients for your plants unless the coco has been precharged with nutes. Coco should be fed every day without fail, if it’s not the coco gets hydrophobic where it resists water.

As far as defol or cutting leaves, from what I saw in last group of pics the plants looked rather small, your light should easily penetrate thru that canopy. I’m all in for defol at the right time but if you go removing fan leaves on a plant that small then you are reducing your yield. The plant does not look that bushy but could benefit from lst to spread the branches out. The big fan leaves are the solar power plant to fuel growth.

Maybe side pic of total plant might give better idea, but don’t think it needs defol yet.
 
I’ve only watered them once in 5 weeks
Jeebus, hard to believe they are still alive honestly.
FEED those poor babies, I would give them 1/4 strength nutrients EVERYDAY.
Coco should remain moist at all times.

You should use either yucca extract or aloe vera in your water as a wetting agent as your coco is no doubt hydrophobic at this point.

Those are some strong plants to be looking as good as they do not being watered for 5 weeks.
 
The leaves don't block flowers from forming, they power it. The only reasons for defoliation would be leaves blocking light to the buds, or airflow, and from the pics you've put up you won't have any problem with either of those.
Unless those are anomalous branches from a super thick bushy plant you don't need to worry about that.
