What do you recommend for watering plants manually?
GroovyGrassstarted grow question 2 years ago
I’ve heard that a spray bottle is best for saplings but as plants get bigger and need gallons at a time, what do you guys use? Are watering cans the best option or are there better methods for a small grow tent?

High GroovyGrass,
Spray bottle for germination. Then a watering can with shower head, I like to use a 2 liter watering can with shower head. Whis way you can really meassure and controle the waterings amounts really easy and with a 5 or 10 liters model you overwater quite easily.
The basic ruls is to give around 10% of your pot volume each watering. Then when the top layer of the soil is completely dried out again 10%
Happy Growing! 😋

I use spray bottles for my seedlings, then I have 1/2 gallon jugs and 1 gallon jugs... but I usually only grow in 3 gallon pots so I don't need a lot more than that. Other people will mix a 5 gallon container and then dip into it to water their plants.... Whatever works for you as long as you know the exact amount of water you're using and mix in an appropriate amount of nutes!
Good luck

Low EC in RunoffIf the EC levels of the runoff are consistently lower than what I'm putting in, do I need to raise the EC levels? I've read that this means my plants are feeding well and can do with more, but I wanted to make sure first. Thanks.Week 4

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Compensating for Effect of Supplements on PPMI decided that my girls probably had a calcium deficiency from using distilled water. I added a cal/mag supplement and an enzyme supplement. Now my PPM is through the roof. Should I reduce nutrient levels so that I'm still in the desired PPM range?

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!

Should I Foliar Feed After 2nd Week Flower?I've been toying with the idea of a foliar feed during flower. I normally don't do any foliar feeds after the second week of flower, just to help prevent contamination or buildup of non-medicines in my final product. Any suggestions as to what i should feed my lil purple budling?Week 3

Burnt plants a bit with nutes for growing. When to start giving them nutes for blooming? (autoflowers)I probably burnt my plants by giving them too much nutes for growing. (plagron alga grow)
Stopped giving the nutes for a week, but they're still showing yellow tips.
When would It be okay to start giving them nutes for the blooming phase? (plagron alga bloom)
