Watering with lower humidity in flower

6 weeks into flower of my 1st grow. Things are looking frosty. As I lower my humidity as I move along, should I increase my watering/feeding? Rt now it’s about every 4 days. 5 gallon fabric pots with soil. Usually just over 1/2 gallon is all they want with some runoff

If you growing in microflora rich soil then you should never let it dry full because with no humidity in soil all those living things are gone once you dry your soil.If the plants need water every 2,3 days then is good balance of humidity in soil.There is no better way then lifting pots,watching plants leaves and edge of pot...also sticking finger in first 5cm of soil.Combine all those and in no time you will master watering:) When leaves go down plant will be ok after watering but living soil is not.If you dont run micro in your soil then you can go dry wet with no harm so ever. Happy grow;)

I would go with atmospheric humidity and not have any artificial humidity levels at this stage of flowering. There is no need to water or feed extra in response to a lower humidity level. As you might be aware, excess humidity during flowering is the easiest way to induce mould/fungus growth in your flowers. Aim for even moisture levels from top to bottom of the pots after watering, not too wet and not too dry, just moist. Hope this helps,... Organoman.

You should always have run off 20 percent. Washes out salts from old feeding. Plus can check ph in bottom of pots.In flowering it with start to use less water as it goes but slightly stronger nutrients high in phosphorus and potassium for budding and density, combined with a good light. Autoflowers are not really heavy feeders. Hope this helps. Happy growing and new year 🌲🌲🌲👊

Cannabis prefers a wet to dry cycle of watering, so make sure not to water until the soil is quite dry. I use the pot lift method and check the top 2 inches with my fingers. When I was in 5 gallon pots on my first grow, I was watering roughly every 6-7 days. I learned by keeping a separate pot filled with dry soil to learn the weight. You can also read the leaves of your plants when you check them in the morning, if they're starting to droop, soil feels dry and the pot is light, it's time to water.
