What’s the exact watering schedule you use?

How to create a good watering schedule without a soil sensor?
I used to follow the FloraFlex schedule. I decided to change it to try and get better results. Any suggestions? My pot is 7 liters, and I’m on day 33 of flowering.

how often do you currently water and how much volume at a time. write that down, theres your schedule. you dont need a soil sensor the top of your pot will get dry. often youll see your media shrink slightly around the edge of your pot

I water every day, 4 to 5 times a day. 150 ml for 2 minutes. Always with an interval of at least 1 hour. My VPD is on average 1.45kpa

You shouldn’t water everyday with regular soil. Watering everyday would be for coco. When I did soil I watered about every 2 days but they were in 5 gallon buckets. You should be in a bigger pot than 7 liters with soil unless you’re doing small plants

I use coconut fiber powder as soil

I'm in 5 gallon fabric pots, soil with dry amendments. They each can take about 5 to 6L every 2 days days. I've actually split that and hit them everyday with 2.5L. They're thriving! Good dry back daily, but not hydrophobic.

If you are already 33 days into flower, what makes you question your watering schedule now?

It seems late in the game to go off course for better results.

i think the question should have been worded differently. now after reading more sounds like hes into frequent fertigation with emitters using coco rather than soil prolly drain to waste hydro. unfortunately i cant give much advice on coco as ive never ran coco with emitters. however i can give this advice if things are running smoothly at 33 days into flower i wouldnt mess with anything until my next run. however there is a hydroponics section and i think theres alot of drain to waste coco growers as it seems drain to waste has beat out flood and drain tables as far as simplicity goes. goodluck man
