Hey everybody. A little confused at them moment. Just ordered 7 gallon ultra oxy pot. I'm also getting Sensi Grow A&B. My confusion is, someone told me on another forum for every gallon of medium I should use 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of water. So my question is for example if the nute says 6ml per gallon, would i put 6x7=42ml total of the nute per pot. And would i add 42 ml to say 3.5gallon of ph'd tap water or would i add the nutes according to the water I'm feeding, 3.5 gallons of tap water so 6x3.5=21ml... Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also for 7 gallon pots is 3.5 gallons of water+nutes enough or too much? Also do i have to feed them this all at once or a gallon or so at a time. Sorry for the newbness
 
Im new also so I cant answer your questions but it seems like a lot of water to me. I have 4 3g smartpots and when I water a gallon all sides and bottom get wet so I figure thats plenty of saturation. Also when it says 6ml per gallon, add 6ml for every gallon of water you are mixing. Not sure if this helps at all but hello and welcome!
 
Mix the nutes by the directions. If it says 6ml per gallon you mix 6ml with 1 gallon of water.Water till you see a little run off out of the bottom of your pot around 10% and make sure you let your soil dry out between watering. With the pot you have water slow or a little at a time or the water will pour outta the sides and not get your soil completely saturated.
I water my 3 gallon pots everyday about a quart per plant everyday and I use regular pots trick is to make sure the soil isnt wet when you water.
There are some here who water 2 times a day. Just see what your plants want and how fast your soil drys out.
Just pick up your pot when you know the soil is dry and again when its wet and get a feel for the dry and wet weight that will help you figure out if you need to water or not.

Thanks everybody really appreciate it! Right now, I'm trying to find out how i will be flushing my buckets, because I'm planning on doing a 4 think different plants scrog setup. Any tips?

The only thing I can think of is - you can buy draining trays specifically made for airpots that have a drainage hole on the side that you can then connect to a pipe/drain and collect in a bigger container, this way the plant stays put when you flush it - maybe someone else will chime in with a tip of their own :goodluck:
That sounds like a killer setup btw and I bet the Think Different ladies will love the scrog!
 
I'll deff look into that. My tent is coming with a drainage tray so I'm hoping I'll be able to use that. Made some last minute changes and got 3.5 gallon pots, as I feel it's a better fit for my 32x32x63 tent. Don't wanna end up out growing the space! But thanks for the advise bros!
