Watering too much at once vs runoff?
MonkeyDonkeystarted grow question 4 years ago
‚Watering when soil is 2,5 cm dry‘:I read the soil should never be ‚swamp‘ wet after watering, yet I also read that the run off needs to be tested regularly - but watering till water runs off does make the soil muddy. Can there be too much water at once if the soil Is dry on top?

If you are using fabric pots generally you don't have to worry about overwatering. You can water until run off this is fine but you want to make sure it dries nicely afterwards which could take up to a few days. Make sure your drainage is good and that water is not sitting.

Foliar sprayI want to introduce some epsom salt foliar spray for Penelope and two clones I have in veg at the moment. From what I understand around 200-250 PPM is a good range. What is optimal PH for foliar sprays. How often can it be used?
Or what can I use as a habitual spray?

Unbalanced PH Water on LeavesI just sprayed my plants with an IPM solution but forgot to PH balance my water…I went back and drenched the leaves again with plain ph balanced water to get rid of the ph unbalanced water. Is this ok or did I make a major mistake? I took photos of the ingredients I used.

Watering a seedlingHey, I learned that when watering you need to water until there ~20% runoff but I watered little at a time during 30 minutes or so and gave about 3-4L of plain water before runoff and even if two leaves have popped I'm worried. Is this normal ?Feeding. Other

use of fertilizer for flowering while growing directly in ground.Growing in the ground / Flowering nutrition.
Someone told me that when flowering starts plants need different nutrition, my plants are growing directly in the ground (no watering needed this year), Can it help to give extra Potassium and Phosfor? Plants look perfectly healthy.

PH measuring for Organic GrowersIf I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.

Can I combine treatments into one?My question is pretty simple. I wanted to give my plants a light foliar treatment and also wanted to include some neem oil. Is it OK to mix the two together or should I do it separately? I'm sure it's likely fine to mix them, but didn't want to take a chance. Thanks for helping!Leaves. Other
