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

Can I go back to nutes after flushing?I have a 70L res with 3 plants in it. 2 of them are the same, the third is a strain with 10-20 days shorter flowering time. I'll have to flush her before the others are ready. Can I flush all 3 at once for a week, then chop down the one and then add nuts to the other for a week?Feeding. Other

EC of water for organic soilWhich EC of water should be for organic soil? I checked a lot of sites and there is information only for hydro or coco...
My tapwater is 0.4 EC ... Is it ok? Or I should add cal-mag every time to increase it?
Is it important to check EC of runoff?
Thanks!Week 2

Watering with natural spring water?Since I am growing with 50% coco/50% Perlite PH of water should be between 6.0 and 6.5. I hate to measure PH so I have found a very super cheap still water SASKIA which has PH of 6.2. Is that possible to grow with natural spring water? Any risk? See ingridients on the picture.
