The plant is drinking constantly now.
This one was planted in coco, perlite, and worm castings. Due to this being practically the first time I've used this mix without adding the peat based "light mix," I had not realised how quickly the pots will dry out, especially during the high water consumption of the flowering stage.
I realise that I need to be treating it as pure coco. This can be fantastic, for example, if you have just one pot/plant and can provide all the waterings and monitoring continually and regularly.
This tends to make you use more nutrients than necessary, as personally I find it difficult to use just plain water. I think many of us still can't help the feeling that we should be adding things to every watering. Therefore, when the frequency of the waterings increases, we are still adding nutrients EVERY time. Which is an overall increase in nutrients, too.
For my part, I'm cutting the amount of nutrients per watering. I feel like nutrients are a bit of a crutch to growers.
I'm still getting used to the coco and the waterings, but I am really enjoying it. If you don't check your plants multiple times a day, it may not be the best choice of substrate.
For me, I'd much rather the pots dry quickly because it reduces the chances of mould and mildew, which I'm always concerned about.
The pot was actually top dressed with Canna Terra Soil Mix, as the company I'd purchased from sent the wrong item, and I couldn't get it sorted in time.
This has really annoyed me as my top dress went mouldy, and I had to remove the top 1cm. After I used this, that soil became compacted and has remained that way since.
Due to this, I would much rather not use these types of substrates.

Watered 1.5ltrs with Trace PH 6.4.

I took everything off the timer and am now running 24/0 light schedule.
I want to make the most out of what light is available. The plants need it.
My tent is underpowered in that department, so increasing the duration of the light is all I can realistically do. Hopefully, it will help.
Watered with the same nutrients as above, 6.5L. PH 6.1.
30.5.25:
Watered again, plain water with Ecothrive Biosys 4L. PH 6.3
Tganks fir stopping by and hanging out 😊💚✌️🍃😃
