i run off my cannabis but essentially you just know by gardening experience how much water is retained in a pot. But you can water slowly and then stop once you get a few drops at the bottom and just remeber that weight difference in your water can for future waterings. For me I just poor and my hand knows when to stop lol. Its like breathing.

Thanks for ur advice and help; Soz for all the questions, but ivebeen growing outdoors on well drained soil, so I never had any problems of water staying in the root area.,.

Id say a 8L to 12L pot, really depends on your footprint in you tent and how tall tou can grow them.

I persoanlly use 15L fabric pots. For my tent size I really didnt need above 8L They dry out a lot quicker and require more watering but provide better air circulation and really nice drainage. i went with a larger pot than required so that id have a bit more soil for water retention. I end up having to water my 15L fabric pots at the same rate as my 8L plastic pot. Which is every 4-5 days. I let my plants get extra thirsty usually as I read some cool studies on drought training cannabis.

Hi there,

Funnily enough already got fabric pots.
Do u water fabric pots until runoff?

Always grew outdoors on sandy soil, watered according to knuckle test, how do u know when too dry? Do u weigh pot or wait for drought signs in the leafs?

U got any links to drought training of cannabis mentioned?

If your grow area is only 3x3 like you mentioned in your first post you do not have much room to grow at all. I personally would only do one 5 gallon scrog in there or a few one gallons. When I grow in a 4 by 4 I can do one monster scrog that can fill the screen up almost intirely from wall to wall. And I can fit a few small potted plants in the corners.
