Watering

Catsquach
Catsquachstarted grow question 10 months ago
been doing once a day a few hours after the light turns on. And gave it 1,250 ml earlier today and was wondering if this is good or any improvements could be made. Also was wondering if I could put in a raiser for the pot. Would that be okay for run off ?

Hey there! It sounds like you're doing a great job with your Dos Si Dos Auto grow. Giving your plant nutrients once a day a few hours after the lights turn on is a good practice, especially in coco coir where nutrients are often needed more frequently compared to soil. However, be cautious not to overfeed, as this can lead to nutrient burn or other issues. As for the amount of water you're giving your plant, 1,250 ml sounds like quite a bit, especially for a 4-week-old plant. I'd recommend monitoring the plant's response closely. If you notice any signs of overwatering (such as drooping leaves or soggy soil), consider reducing the amount of water you're giving it. Always allow the top layer of the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Regarding using a riser for your pot, it can be beneficial for ensuring proper drainage and preventing waterlogging in the bottom of the pot. Just make sure that there's enough space between the bottom of the pot and the tray or saucer to allow for adequate drainage and runoff. You want to avoid letting the pot sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. Keep up the good work and happy growing! If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to ask.

Since you are growing in coco coir, yes water daily and water to run off each and every time. A riser of some sort is a great idea, but yes, never leave a cannabis plant sitting in a pool of water.

the easiest way to ascertain the plants watering needs is to pick up the pot and feel the weight both when it's dryish and in need of a drink and the weight after a watering . This way all you need to do is feel the pots weight and you'll know if it needs any or not As for the raiser and run off it should be okay , just avoid leaving water sitting in it as it will inhibit root growth from over saturation.
