How much to water (week 3-4)
KCduzitstarted grow question 4 years ago
When is a good indication of when to start watering pots until runoff? Plants are small in 3 gallon fabric pots (3:1 coco to perlite) right now and topsoil dries out within 24 hours feeding 500ml of water a day. Had issues overwatering in small plastic pots earlier on in seedling

You can try to water a little more, a little deeper, from day to day. This way you keep the root zone clean from salt build ups. Usually roots are about the size of the plant. Eventually you will see run off. I think your coco looks a little dry to me.

I always water the entire pot and let dry, if it ain't totally dry in a week they get another watering, plenty of time for the medium to re-oxygenate in that time. I have never had a problem doing it this way. Just need to rough up the top to keep algae from growing a day or 2 after watering. Cheers friend

Hydro - Ec Variations - how do you deal with them ? What the hell is going on in my soup ?I added a little nutes (0.1) at night, Ec went down and then up at mid day, with Ph dropping. When do you start worrying about your EC going up / Ph going down ? When EC varies more than 0.1 in 24h ? When Ph drops from 0.4 in 24h ? (here from 6.20 to 5.75 in 24h). THX !

Is this sign of over feeding?Few of my babies in vegetative stage are encountering this problem. Some of the leaves are showing like those in photo. My guess is overfeeding the nutrients. But before I making any decision, I want to hear some professional opinions. Nutrient feed interval is per 4 days.

Do you flush your cannabis plants before harvest?Organic soil. I asked yesterday about something flushing related. Most folks commented and said that flushing did nothing or made no notable difference. If this is the case, does everyone flush since plain water is cheapest? Thanks in advance!Week 12

Watering: How much?I am still trying to learn and understand how watering is done optimally. I weighed my pots before watering. Is there a way to determine how much water is too much? I used 1.5lt per pot for the first watering, and I am monitoring to see if it is too little (based on drying).Feeding. Schedule

Canna Aqua users (Hydro) : What Ec do you start with ?I usually feed them with "Canna Start" at the beginning and when they are 8-9 days old I use "Canna Aqua" with 0.8 ec (+0.3 tap water) but this time it overfed them. What's your EC when you start nutrition ?

Is it better to adjust nutrition if using soil from a previous grow?One of my grows is nearing the end and is being flushed this week ready for the chop on Saturday. Do I need to adjust the feed schedule for the next grow to account for any residual nutrients in the soil from the last grow? I am using BioBizz Light-Mix soil & full BioBizz range.

Earthbox/SIP flower nutrient delivery method7 weeks in plants seem happy. Should I top dress with dry amendments for flower now to be preemptive? Since I do not top water and use a SIP container, does top dressing even make sense when done early - or a waste? Figure they will need some P and K soon. First grow, TIA!

Hi Everyone,
I just switched to Jungle Juice and gave my plants a small amount based on the instructions.
How many times per week do you usually feed them? I was going to go with 2 times per week for now. In the case of this plant it is about 7'' tall.
thanks! :)
