How much to water during established flowering?
MickeyJstarted grow question 3 years ago
I have set my auto drip system to water every 36 hours for 4.5 minutes. After about a day, all the water has been consumed. Should I be watering more frequently to maintain a certain level of moisture in the medium or is it healthy for the soil to be dry for a few hours?

Depends on how much volume you oush in the 4.5 minutes - either try reducing your hours interval or increasing duration if you are worried about under watering.
I would say probably 500-750ml per 24hrs where you are now as an estimate.
I would water to saturation and tiniest runoff manually, then weigh pots, set 24 hours timer, weigh pot, and keepnweigh every 24 hours to see how long it takes that much liquid to dry then set the system from there.

Never grew in coco, but my understanding is you do not want it to dry out.

I manually water my plants. They’re in fabric pots.
I water a 5 gallon pot with two gallons of water. I get about just under half a gallon of runoff. Wait two days for the pot to be light and then the third day she’ll get an other watering.
Though I just looked at your diary and your plant looks good so whatever you’re doing is working for you.
If it gets overwatered the roots wont get access to oxygen and then if it stays too wet you’ll end up with root rot.
I don’t like watering on a set timer. It’s more when she needs it. But that’s me.
Anyway you’re doing well gro bro. Keep it up. 🤙
