Yep. this is true and it does work good.
I have a dvd with JC and If I remember right he says if the water is just siting on top you can add a few drops of dish soap and this will help the water flow faster and easier.

Like fdd said dry/hard spots in the soil. Is the soil compacted? I know the roots like a easier lose soil.

Have you done any flushing yet? I know this will take for ever but mabe you should try a few and see whats going on in the soil. Put a few gallons in one of the bad ones and take a good look at the water. Do you have ec tester? Its a must and will help alot. Should only be around $50.00 or more if you want a really nice one.

Excuss the ranting . peace

Thats what I do also. I find it almost impossible to over water with good potting soil. I water thoroughly, let the water leach through then go back and repeat until no water comes out the bottom because you do get dry spots and sometimes it can be very deceiving.

load up some water with nitrogen. water them well. wait 30 mins. come back and water again. all that water in your tray? let it stay there a few hours. the pots will soak it up. i really think your soil has dry spots. it needs to be saturated. you can do this with no problems as long as you let the soil dry out before you do it again. i think it's a simple fix. food and water. :mrgreen:


did you know some people water from the bottom? they have their pots set-up like yours and when it comes time to water they just fill the flood tray with a couple inches of water and let it soak up thru the bottom of the pots. trivia for the day.:blsmoke:

Hey FDD. The soil on top of half the plants now seem to be dry. I think I should do a real throughal watering in the morning (like 2 of those water things full for each plant). What r your thoughts on that. Sould I also add the big grow and big bloom again or just PHd wated? Thanks.

a heavy watering of fresh water never hurts. unless you over water but i don't think that's a problem so far. but go back to your chart after that.

lift your pots every time you go in there. after a few days/a week or so, you should get a good idea how wet they are.

When I water with nutes I always make sure I have the same ph and ec/ppm through out the watering cycle. This will make sure all of the roots will get all of the nutes that they need.

My top soil is always dry with in a day or so and I only have a 600hps so with the amount of light that you have it will prob. happen more often for you. I would put my finger in the drain holes and see it each side is moist.

Did you pick up a moisture meter?

this must be the most popular thread of all time
74 pages and its a month old lol
i think sometimes we do too much instead of just doing alittle at a time
ur doing fine plants are fine just relax
only question is where are u going to dry and cure 6# of bud and how many hours do u think its going to take? its a huge job and it smells the place up way more than the growing process
just something to think about

He's only using this space for one grow. So my guess is he's gonna' manicure, dry, and cure in that same room. And I'm guessing at least 3 days to manicure all that shit.

i would harvest and prepare all the bud right there in the room they were raised in. seems like plenty enough space, and the venting will help prevent mold.
id say more than 3 days if hes alone but hell have fdd helping so id say about 3 as well. lol

The same ec throughout watering cycle will make sure the roots get all the nutes they need? No.

A plant needs different levels of nutes, or ec levels throughout the different stages of growth. The bigger it gets the more nutes it needs.
