Watering two days in a row

Is it critical to water two days in a rough? Asking since i watered the plants with RO water and biobizz calmag yesterday. But i think the dosage of calmag was too small, and spots on the leaves has shown. I think a watering with nutes + calmag would be better.

But is it just to early? Would it make more harm than good things to water/feed already again ?

What are you growing in? Coco or soil?

Personally I would just wait till they next need watering. Overwatering could lead to more issues and the sake of a day or two won't make a difference, I wouldn't worry just chill

Okay but i have noticed the plants are really slow drinking these pots dry. Even though the roots are all the way to the edges of the pot (15 litres). So i think they are sick sick by needing a happy microbes soil.

Any of you tried mixing with worm humus? Could it replace calmag?

You could foliar feed if you really think it’s needed but then chill and just watch the new growth for a reaction

Actually thats a good idea.. You think organic calmag could make it as a foliar ?

Ok if they are barely drinking you definitely don’t want to water again, organic cal/mag will spray fine I’ve done it several times. You could try brewing a compost tea once they dry out

They are now sprayed with calmag foliar spray, and i now cross my fingers for better looking ladies in a couple of days

Now you mention this compost tea. I tried google it how to brew it. But since i dont have the required equipments to brew it my self, i wonder if i can buy it pre made ?

I think you can on eBay but it won’t be as good as making it yourself, as soon as you close it up it’ll start losing effectiveness. If you have $30 or 40 bucks you can buy what you need. All you really need is a small aquarium air pump from the pet store, air line also from the pet store, a cup or two of compost from the grow store or eBay, and molasses from the grocery store. This is my set up it keeps everything moving and involves minimal cleaning, run the airlines through the handle and it keeps them in place image.jpg

If you wanna be 100% sure you re not overwatering you could wait for some droop along with the dry soil.
In my experience theres nothing wrong letting the soil dry up. I water every 5-8 days with 1/4gal in my 7gal pots. Even on the 8th day the droop is minimal. Sphagnum stuff lol

Overwatering is the number one cause of death of plants kept by people. Period. Including cannabis. Especially cannabis. Everyone loves it to death.

Yea i know. Have felt the causes of overwatering, and thats a bad thing for sure.

Just thinking about that they are still totally wet from the watering yesterday. So couldn't tell the difference if one more watering was done But actually its drinking, and i have raised the temperature, and done the organic calmag foliar spray. I got the synthetic GHE calmag aswell. Wouldt it absorb better?
Also i have done some LST and defoliation, since i surprisingly yesterday read that you can make your plant thrive better, if you are doing such kind to it. Propably im just hesitating and worse the things. Well see in about a week

Any of you tried that?

Take something long and thin and rip up the medium piercing it. All the way to the bottom. You can’t do it too much. Just straight down and out over and over. Aerate the root zone. It will not hurt the plants. Any root severed simply heals and forks and keeps going.

Cool.. Ill try that . I basically had slow drinking plants, and afterall i think i have found out how really important it is to have the perfect soil. Ive got 15L (4 gallon) smart pots and these other two girls who are thriving a bit better got watered 9 days ago, and needs water again tomorrow.

Its a light mix soil, and I think its the mikro nutrient life which is wrong. I would really like to get soil better for next run. But im not able to do my own supersoil. How is the easiest most bulletproof to make the plants shine..

Light mix, mixed with worm casting?? Just bought Advanced nutrients sensi g+b. But wonder if it would be easier to change for organic fertz??

Ive got ppm + ph meter, so actually i know how much nutes im putting in, for not to build salts too fast in the medium
