Watering Growbags

Such diversity?

1. Tomorite says 4.5l per bag.
2. Miracle Grow says 2l per plant.
3. On the average - not burning - day, I give 750ml per plant.

Avoiding inches, what do you do?

I tend to do about a gallon a bag, so Tomorite comes closest, I think, but I'm not very metric.

I am a bit lost here Tim, I measure my feed to the quantity of water IE number of cap/spoon fulls to the gallon/litre and as the compost my Tomato,s etc is in is never allowed to dry out i never give them more than 2 pints of water in one day, even on the hotest day. So feeding is just another normal watering day

As grow bags tend to dry out quickly i would go for no more than two pints per day per plant Tim
