[saiyaneye]

I am sure this question is asked hundreds of times on here.

I water with 1 gallon per 5 gallon pot during flowering.

How much do you use?

20% run off is a good range to measure by not pot size right now I'm in the gallon per plant range in 3 gallon pots but I wait till they are almost completely dry

Thats about right

Find a dry pot fill it with dry soil

add 20% water ...note the weight

in this case add a surfactant / 2 teaspoons of dish soap

note the volume the surfactant has held?

20% is the average water top up say 2-3 times per week

this does depend on various factors plant age/volume and days temp

good luck

5 gallon pot . half gallon of water daily .

5 gallon pot . half gallon of water daily .

I like the low volume of water. But I don't water daily, particularly not in veg, by the end of flower maybe every third day

5 gallon smart pot...1/2 gallon when they tell me they are thirsty.

18 oz of water per gallon of soil.

A gallon is 128 oz

Its all the same.. I water when it needs to be watered.

I just water till i get run off then wait till they dry and repeat

I don't think giving them an exact amount daily is correct as their needs will always change

I'm trying to understand why everybody waters so often am I the only one who waters once a week or so? When I move to 5 gallon pots in veg I water about 1.7 gallons {20%runoff} every 5-7 days...In flowering I use 10 gallon pots I water them with 3.5 gallons of water {25%runoff} every 6-8 days...This seems to be quite unusual from what i see most people doing.

I use about 1.5 litres of water per gallon pot in veg

During the first few weeks of veg I may water once or twice. But I'm also using 2 liter pots and not 5 gallon. Think in the last month I've water 4 or 5 times if that.

Growing medium plays a huge part in how much you water, I used a lot of vermiculite this grow, it holds a lot of water i have noticed. Temps also, low temps your soil will stay moist way longer.

I try to get as little run off as possible since I grow organically with subcools super soil. Or I'd just be leeching out the nutrients in my soil.

I am growing in a 6 gallon pot. I water 1500 liters everyday. 1 week away from switching to flower.

I'm sorry bro, does that mean I'm overfeeding or underfeeding? Should I be feeding more?
Should I feed 1 gallon when it comes to flowering stage? Quite a new grower, sorry for noob questions.

 

[Medskunk]

Dont know, i was just amazed with the quantity. 1500 liters is too much. Too!

But the author of this thread is watering 1 gallon for 5 gallon pot. 1 gallon is 3800 liters.
Im feeding less than half the amount tho?

Wondering if i too should be feeding 1 gallon?

7 gallon smart pots, pro mix hp, feed 2 gallons per plant and get a quarter gallon runoff.
