Do you have any watering tips? No way to find out what is the best way. Do I initially water with less water but more often or soak the whole pot? Someone who has experience with airpots?

Hi iam using Airpots for around 18 months now.Its alitle tricky in the begnning until you are used to handle them. in the beginning just small amounts around the plant...Dont need to saturate the whole soil... if the plant is really big and needs big amounts of water.. you have to be patientwith the watering. If you have to give your plant 1l then do it in small steps. And dont let dry out the airpots to much , then its vry difficult to water them. I do it like this ( big plant) i water daily... and one time in the week i take the airpot, put it into my bathtub and give her slowly big amounts of lukewarm water , until all soil is saturated. Then let them stand for 1-2 hours and take them back to growroom. Use apot under the airpot too, so you are fine and dont mess to much water. Its akinda training but after the grow you are used to. Airpots are just great. They are doing the" aircut" on the roots... roots want to grow out of the holes, then they notice ... oh here is no way,,, they turn around and webbing in the pot.. so in the end your airpot is full of a nice rootsystem very webbed.. you know more roots more fruits......hope i answered if more questions to come just ask

Cannabis is a plant with great water needs, but it also tolerates very little excess watering, so it is easy to make mistakes.
By following these simple tips you will get an optimal result throughout your culture:
Cannabis is a plant that does not like to receive a light watering continuously. It is imperative to water in large quantities, then wait until the soil is dry before watering again!
A good watering requires a good watering can 🙂
* To calculate the amount of water needed for each plant, follow this rule:
The volume of water to be given during each watering must represent at least about a quarter of the volume of the pot !!
for a pot of 1L, give 0.25L of water at each watering
for a pot of 4L, give 1L of water to each watering
for a pot of 12L, give 3L of water with each watering
Good luck for your grow May the force be with you 💪

I initially water with less and as time goes, I water more and more. I'm in week 10 Auto, soon to harvest. She drinks 2 to 3L every 24 hr now, VS .5L per 24 hr when younger.
The more water given to the plant in let say in week 5, will flood the coco top, and drain slowly soaking all the coco. Also, just water slow, so the water does not run off the top through holes, and try not to water in the same spot every time...
The only thing negative thing I could say is if the humidity is low, the plant needs more water because of evaporation?? i'm guessing the little holes in the side help O2 in, but can let moisture out???
IDK, Mate might be better answers to your question, hope it helps...

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
