How much water is required for around 20l pot bags (around 17l full with 3 parts compost [NPK 12-14-24], 3 parts peat moss, 2 parts pearlite, 1 part vermiculture) per 24h in the first weeks (1-3)? Thank you
Hi there!
Basically the soil needs to be wet around the root area. So you don't need to give that much during first weeks and if you wet the whole 20l bag most of the water will just evaporate in to the air 'cos the roots cant drink all of it.
Maybe ~0.5l would be a good to start with or even less. If the soil feels dry after this ofc you can give more but just dont over do it. Perlite helps aerate the soil so overwatering is not so easy to do but vermiculite holds moisture so yuou dont need to add trhat much water.
@Canna96, Thanks man! Been relatively easy grow with just worries and no issues so far!
Now to monitor progress and chop at a good time, dry and cure :)
@Growingkitten, is that what they are called? haha... yeah the material pots, I read that it is harder to overwater and good for roots (and I am not best at watering I guess). I think the whole setup is good apart from the lamp, as it is one of those Chinese eBay lights that I found before learning about them, advertised as 3000w so i was hoping for 300 but in reality its 100w. I don't want to burn the plant nor make them stretch forever. I check other diaries and feed myself ideas that my plants stretch too much :P
