Have not had to do much besides filling the nutrient reservoir over the past few weeks. Buds filled in nicely and are very dense. There has been a natural drop in humidity and temperature that is benefiting the final flowering stages. I have reduced the light, going into week 8, to 10 hours of light to help force the plant to finish up. Trichomes as of yesterday are all clear, with about 3% amber.
I have set my auto drip system to water every 36 hours for 4.5 minutes. After about a day, all the water has been consumed. Should I be watering more frequently to maintain a certain level of moisture in the medium or is it healthy for the soil to be dry for a few hours?
Depends on how much volume you oush in the 4.5 minutes - either try reducing your hours interval or increasing duration if you are worried about under watering.
I would say probably 500-750ml per 24hrs where you are now as an estimate.
I would water to saturation and tiniest runoff manually, then weigh pots, set 24 hours timer, weigh pot, and keepnweigh every 24 hours to see how long it takes that much liquid to dry then set the system from there.
