Should I only have to water every 5 or 6 days?
Indicaman2015started grow question 9 months ago
I'm using Miracle Gro performance organics soil to which I added about 2 big handfuls of perlite. I also have rocks in the bottom of my pot. Last time I watered until I got a good amount of runoff. Is it normal to only have to water every 5 or 6 days? She looks good so idk?

Get used to picking up your pot when you water it and seeing how heavy it is and then when it's much lighter you can tell it needs watering, you'll likely find once your plant gets up there in size that you'll being watering once a day or more when you go into flower. If you have your VPD, which is temp and humidity on point that really effects your water uptake and nutrient uptake.
I would recommend watching Dr Bugbee's YouTube video Maximizing Cannabis Yields and he had a really good explanation on watering, feeding and light input. Very educational. BEST OF LUCK KEEP, THE GREEN!

Yes, watering only every 5-6 days is just fine..........it all depends on plant size, soil type and temps.

Hmmmm..
That type of watering is not good.
You'll smoother your roots.
In even DWC an injection of o2/co2 is needed to sustain a breathable root zone
Every 5-6 days watering. The Rocks and perlite will/or might even fully curve this issue.
Also, if you're using soil. Why are you flushing the goodness out of it with runoff. You're putting it back into the pot right?
Just feed and do follow up water feeds. That water will enhibit your plant.

At the moment mine are taking a good 5 days inbetween watering. So long as your soil goes through a wet dry cycle you will be fine. If you water when it's not needed you will eventually get root rot

Can you fertigate every other watering in coco coir?I'm using coco for the first time. One site says to fertigate every watering and to keep the coco wet. On my soil grows I fertigate every other watering. Can I go every other one with coco, why or why not? The reason is these nutrients are kind of expensive and are going fast.
