Hey guys I'm back again. I have been absorbing the advice given to me about watering and how to water. Here is a couple questions. When checking the soil to see if it's bone dry I have not watered them in about 4 days. When I scrape the top layer of the soil it still feels damp. Should I wait longer? And question number 2 should I water with nutrients every watering? Or should I alternate waterings with the nutes?

Hey gangamane, so for soil I find it easier to pick the pots up....feel heavy wait...feel light water.. 2-4 days is a good wet/dry cycle. And it should be an alternating feed.... Water-dry-water/feed-dry and so on.
By the way what nutes are you using?

Just follow the dosing instructions/timetable for the FF nutes. They are pretty spot on, if in doubt, go light.

Run off is like a river running through land rather than rain
Soak, then water little and often would be my approach
