And NEVER let your soil completely dry out... A plant doesn't produce because the soil dries out... Its ridiculous to even think like that! In most cases... I water during veg every 2-3 days... I run 5 gallon pots and feed with either a half gallon of pH balanced water or a half gallon of nutrient solution... I use coco as a medium so for soil you should water every 4-5 days... Let it dry out a little but NEVER let it dry out completely
NEVER say _NEVER_

Thats a silly thing to say. Just saying

Hahaha fucking beauty!! Hey for my next grow I'm doing a heavyweight 2 fast 2 vast autoflower in a 5gallon pot under 1600w Mars ii led, can you recommend what ratio I should mix the happy frog 5-5-5 fertilizer or just go all fox farm ocean forest with about 30% perlite? Thx!!

You guys are thick headed.

I usually let my babies dry up quite alot then feed alot water, to simulate a day of heavy rain maybe 2 times a month.

and yes, very cute plant sno capz. Im not saying ur doing it wrong, im just saying, never say never!

I let it dry out a knuckle or 2 before i water again. Im not saying i run a desert in my tent. I was just saying because i dont want lil hoe to give constant water as a new grower might missunderstand you and drown the plant. It should dry out a bit before you water again.

Ouch. Thick headed? Your plants dont stunt during flower when they get wilted and 100% dry?

Looks like harvest season is vastly approaching for this early miss, nugs are tight and firm... Got a few grams I reckon

Loving the organic mix! Ocean forest is the bomb! At around three weeks this autoflower is looking decent with just water

That looks great, is that plant just 3 weeks from seed or from sprout?

Also have you done any training to the plant or is that how it looks completely natural? Whats your lights?

Love the camo pattern on the pot, lol

I've heard that the nutes those soils come preloaded with will give out in 4-6 weeks, making it necessary for the grower to take over the feeding at that point.

@lilhoe You've been getting good if somewhat disjointed advice. Before doing a hydro run, I'd suggest you have a solid grow in soil under your belt first. That's going to give you better intuition about timing, amounts to water and fertilize, etc.

In hydro, everything happens faster, including screwing up, lol

From seed! Let her be free I think my buddy did a little TLC with lst! It's been under a Mars v2 900w and now a vipar 1200w with two others
