How many milliliters should I give these plants? They were repotted in a 20-liter pot filled with Allmix. I use biobizz products and fertilize organically Thank you in advance for your answers and have a nice evening.

as much as it takes. giving a ML value is to vague as all mediums hold onto different amounts of water an depending how compact the same medium is can also influence how much its holding. Normally its water in slowly till a bit of runoff comes out. Water the entire of the pot and wait for its to dry back before doing it again.

water slow, in 3-5 parts and 5-10 min intervals betweenthem . amount for you to get small 10-20% of total as run off. never let stand in it, always collect run off. and MOST important - lift pots !!! only individual attitude will bring good results. p.s. me personally would not water all pot , till leaves touches edges of pot. till then you max water what leaves shade, thats how far roots usually goes wide too ....

HI :) It's been said already, but there is no set amount. Generally one waters slowly until a little runoff appears, making sure the entire soil is moist. With AllMix, including organic fertiliser, watering can be a little trickier. AllMix comes with microorganisms in it and your organic fertiliser may be adding more. These organisms cannot live in dry soil and are very helpful for your plant. Hence, you want to keep AllMix moist at all times. At least, the soil your roots are directly growing through should always be moist. Not wet. Moist. Also, keep an eye on the ph levels ;)

Yeah I'm in the same mind state as papa T and its not a set amount. I slowly water over a few ours until runoff, that way all the soil gets moist. Then wait for top inch or so to dry before doing it again, may take 3-4 days before next watering. My last 4 or 5 diaries are quite detailed and shows how much and when I watered my plants.

Hey there your plants look great so far the roots I see are nice. When getting plants to root I like to water just a small amount from the top along the edges of the pot maybe enough to let water get about halfway down the inside the pot. Then if possible I put the bottom the pot in some water about 2 or 3cm deep of water and let the soil suck up some water just for a min or so don't let it get sopping wet. When plants are in veg it's good to let soil get dry as possible and then water. Plants will look nice for a period then when soil gets dry they will start to wilt. When plants are about 15% lower hanging than normal it's time to water. Plants take about 3 hrs to bounch back from under water and can take 10 days or more to recover from over watering When the plant has rooted the container nicely at that point I would water from the top the pot Water until 10 to 20% of the volume of the pot of water has come out the bottom of the

How much water does it take to get a little bit of runoff? You want to wet the entire substrate and then let it dry back. I use 5 gallon fabric pots and I water 5 litres every irrigation. Roughly the same size as 20 litres. Water them slowly so the soil absorbs the water and keep going until some water comes out the bottom. Then after it may take 4-6 days before you irrigate again. But as the plant grows bigger in her new home she’ll start drinking more and irrigations will have to happen a bit sooner.
