Watering methods
BearSmallsstarted grow question 6y ago
Is it possible or has anyone tried to water the plant more often but with smaller doses, for example 50%? Is it necessary for watering to flow out of the pot? Are there other watering methods? I ask because when a plant is deficient, I have to wait until the next watering.

The best way to water is in soil when the plant is already mature and drinking well. Water daily with 5-10% of the pot volume. Watch the plant; if it quickly droops its leaves and looks sluggish, it needs more water, so increase it to 10% of the pot volume.
Watering should allow drainage to provide new oxygen to the roots along with the water!
I recommend watering in soil with water and nutrients in a cycle:
Day 1 - water with nutrients and the right pH
Day 2 - water without nutrients, but with the right pH
Day 3 - water without nutrients, but with the right pH
----------------------------------------------------------------
And so on! The cycle repeats! 1-2-1-2-1-2...
Good luck, bro! 😇👌

Imo its important to saturate the entire medium. Or you'll get dry pockets that will end up inhibiting root growth. If you want you can always foliar feed to help quickly correct any deficiency you see arise before adding it into the next watering cycle. 👊

Some say bottom feeding encourages better root growth as the plant sends roots down to collect it, the concept seems sound but I'm not experienced in it to confirm it but auto-pots work well enough although they do have a nice dry spell to encourage more root growth.

It's better because it flushes out salt buildup but you could instead opt to place pots in saucers and fill the saucers allowing them to feed themselves however if tou do this I recommend having a couple inches of pebbles in the bottom of the pot and feeding from the top until the pot is well rooted.

ARE AUTOS ALWAYS PURE BREED? (REVEG AUTOS)What I want to do is try to reveg the plant (going 24h+blue led) after I've cut the top coal, so the lower coals con grow in direct light. Doing so with no autoflowering breeds is normal but, on the paper, autos are on a death clock.. Can you have mixed genetics autos?6y ago

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

SilverSol vs Colloidal Silver 4 Feminization Of Autos?Question: are there any differences in structured silver solutions like SilverSol "SS" vs regular silver like Colloidal Silver "CS" for feminization?
Both are interchangeable for most purposes. It seems SS has more active ions, would that be a bonus?
They said SS 10ppm = CS 50ppm
