Substrate moisture retention
diggemms420started grow question 5 years ago
Worried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?

If you have been giving them a quarter of a gallon a piece at this point you're probably doing good. What I liked to do was water my plants until I get a little runoff out of the bottom and then let them dry until the top half inch of soil dried out. Then water again. I think you're on track. Happy growing!

Imo yes. But I've o ly have 2 grows under my thumb,but watering was my biggest hurdle, now if my soil is dry up to my 2nd knuckle I water until I see runoff then let dry and repeat.seems to be working great for me.good luck

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

How often use fertilizerHi!
I have a question about fertilization. I use mineral fertilizer from Advanced Hydroponics of Holland (Grow, Bloom, Micro) every time I water. Which can be 2x on hot days. Every 2 to 3 weeks they get worm juice. However, I have now read that you should only fertilize every 2Feeding. Schedule

Hello
I will harvest at the end of November.
What are the pros and cons of flushing plants pre-harvest?
Do you believe flushing significantly impacts the taste of the final product?
Do you personally flush your plants, and if so, what is your specific flushing routine?

PK Boost TimingBy what visual indicators do you determine the ideal timing for giving a week of PK13/14? The stretch seems mostly complete, the buds are thickening daily, and the first trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. Should I start now or wait a few more days?
