When I hand water, I go by root/pot size:
young plants/just rooted clones = 1/8c once a week
Roots fill a solo cup or 3" pot = 1/4c - 1/2c twice a week
Roots fill a 3" pot or 6" pot = 1/2c twice a week
2 qt - 3 gallon = 3-4cups twice a week
5-7 gallon = 1/2 gallon twice a week
Though my environment is really dry at 10-15% so this works for me…you’ll have to find out what works for you. I like to find out by periodically letting some wilt just begging for water then water to 5-10% runoff in a saucer letting the plant sit for ~30 min to take in water and prevent dry spots, taking note how much it took to reach run off then wait until the leaves start sagging like the plant can’t hold up the leaves (~4-5 days)… if you do this just make sure its on a healthy plant though it looks like your on a good track to finding out what how much they want in your environment
Either/or…I leave mine on as wind doesn’t stop when it mists or rains. Now wait 4 days before foliar feeding again to see their response
Ikr! I am starting to get the hang of it though we’ll see on my next batch with the ReikoX’s Divyders and the Vaults Colorado Cookies comparative…i’ll be using DocBuds High Brix nutrients
Maybe. Ime, they work best in smaller spaces like a bedroom and the drier it is, the longer it takes to combat
as everything around tries to suck it up
That is a great next topic!
For me, it depends… chemical, organic, a mix or water only? are you going to recycle your soil or work towards no till?
