People say water your plant when it's 70% dry, can somebody explain how this percentage can be understood or just a more clear way, thanks in advance.

Just water when needed. 🤷‍♂️The plants need for water will be relative to the plant size and container size. Cannabis doesn't like to be wet and appreciates the dry soil and the oxygen it gets to the roots when dry. The best way to judge is to pick up the pot, you can or will learn how much lighter the pot is when it needs watering, you may also see droopy leaves. You could stick your finger into the soil and if feels dry, water or you can get a soil ph/moisture testing stick 🌱👍

Yeah just watch for the topsoil to get dry and give it a nice sprinkle. Checking the weight is a good idea too. It is better to let your plant get a little dry than to overwater it. Happy growing!

Hello friend, I'm going to share my watering method for various pot sizes but always for the same environment, 28 degrees during the day, 18 degrees at night, 18/6 light cycle. Pot 3.5 L / 250 ml every 5 days until the 4th week, then every 2 days until harvest. Pot 7 L / 500 ml every 3 days until the 3rd week, then every 2 days or even daily... PS: When watering the plants, make sure the water doesn't run out from the bottom into the saucer; give it a little more water until you see it come out...😉 Regards, buddy, and I hope I could help you...👌💯🌱

You can also go by weight of the pot...I sound crazy but you get used to it, but by the time it flowers you'll know.
