Hello Friends! On the 1t week I watered every day for about 250-500 ml. Today is week 8 and I added 1 l of general tap water. There were 300 ml of drainage (first time drainage). Kindly advise how to proceed with watering quantities.

Hello dear friend Cannabis is a plant with great water needs, but it also tolerates very bad watering, so it's 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! To calculate how much water each plant needs, 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👍 May the force be with you 💪

I think your overwatering the plant. Less is more, don't give her to much water, she can handle it with much less. If you want to give theme water every day you have to give them less water. Otherwise you can also give them water after 2 days every time Good luck.

hey there, you're still overwatering slightly, you can tell from the puffy space between the veins of the leafs and the wrinkles on there. You really should wait a bit longer before waterings as this will eventually cause root problems etc. Try the lifting pot method to never overwater again. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Can only tell the same as Mrs_Larimar told. Add water till drain and then let her dry until first leaves are limp and hanging. Then add water again and next time add water one day earlier. You can lift the pot before and after watering to feel the difference.

@Agrocann get a feel for the weight of an unwatered pot vs a freshly fed one this will atleast give you a general idea of whether your plants are in need of moisture I have had plants literally drown because the roots were submerged for too long so its imperative you allow the medium to dry a little between feedings Airpots are fantastic for helping the roots breathe so you are onto a winner already. I would aim for a every 2nd to 3rd day watering regime until they are bigger. then step it up accordingly.

The good thing is ... you are using airpots... so water is draining.... and 250 ml for one day is way to much .....te roots are drowing if you go on like this. Yu should come to a wet-dry circle... that means soil should be knuckledeep dry before you are watering again.. up to now she has no problems. but if you go on like this you may get. The soil is now comletely wet ( having 300ml drainage) and normally she dont need water for the next 5-6 days ( its a small plant in a biiiig pot)..... so let her dry out until soil is knuckledeep dry. then go on with your 200 ml... that should be enough for 2-4 days..... you dont have to keep the whole soil wet.. tahts for roots like standing in swamp... always watering around the plant ( 200 ml) so that the roots must look for the wter and the roots have to grow. Wateringregime is the hardest in indoors...

I'd keep doing what you're doing as the plant is still a bit on the small side compared to the pot. Once you think your roots are touching the sides, then you want to completely saturate the soil, then let it get to 70% dry before watering again.
