thanx for the responses, and sorry for being unclear. i water about every other day. i put fert in the soil every 2 weeks. i spray 1/4 strength growing nutes. on the leaves in the morning at sun up on tue. and fri. and i spray plain water on the leaves every other day of the week. my plants suck up the water really fast, that may be due to the heat "i dont know". they are in 5 gallon buckets. i use about 1 gallon of water each time i have to water. and i just used plain ole yard dirt with a lil perlite.

mrscaboo im confused about what you said about giveing veg nutes. are you saying i should be giveing flowering and veg nutes at the same time?
