Aqueminianswered grow question 3 years ago Lst for maximum canopy exposure, don't water everyday because that doesn't let the roots stretch to search for water and expand. You want to find a good watering schedule for your plants, let the soil dry out but not completely. You'll see your plants slightly droop, then water and they will perk up after 15 mins. Its something you practice to master. I've seen plants that get hand watered everyday and it's not beneficial. But a soil/coco on a drip system getting watered everyday on a timer does work.
