thirsty girls

[Krazeydays]

"Question" My girls are six weeks In, Have been watering 3 times a week, all healthy
cant say much. But lately soil has been dry, seem too have to water more often. I read a post today saying buds retain moister late into flowering.

when they start sagging/drooping, its time to water....watch your plants- they will tell you when they need water. you are doing the right thing bro- just keep it up

It sounds like your not giving them enough to drink when you water. You shouldn't have to water 3 times a week. When you water how much are you giving them? A good way of telling when your plants need a drink is by sticking your finger in the soil about 2 inches deep. If the soil is dry water. If it's still a bit damp let it go another day and check again.

3 times per week... sounds like they 'might' be rootbound..

 

[Krazeydays]

watering every other day, two gal. 5 plants 5 gal. pots. 1000 wt. hps.
temps are a steady 78. f
root bound ? would this let water just flow straight threw soil, not given roots chance to do there job, still looks great, 2 weeks left of flowering. No sign of stress, not over watering.


thanks to all on Mar-p

i always kinda go by the weight of the container..i kinda get a feel for how a container weighs when i think it is bone dry then again when i give it a real good watering, this way i kinda can look at the container & give it a quick pickup and then make my judgement on that and how much water to give.

you sound like your pretty on point but hard to say without pics. being the perfect watering master only comes with many many grow. goodluck
