you need to water as much as the dwarfs need, I use a meter that measures ph light and wetness. it was 20 at homedepot very helpful

Check your area for average rainfall, during the expected growth time frame. You might not have to water much at all. The fewer times the better if gorilla growing, as not to leave a trail or beaten path. The plants are small and bulking the soil with water retaining material: perlite, vermiculite, coco coir, peat moss, wormcasting and other amendments. As stated the amendments will help even if in the yard or garden. Are you located in the northern hemisphere, where the soil is cold in spring? If so, you might think of planting in 1- 2 gallon containers, they warm faster then the soil providing excellerated root growth. You can also relocate if you find a more secure site with container growing. Though you will have to water more in containers then the ground, the growth of the warm roots will make up for it.

I have found that my autoflowering dwarfs (lowryder#2) do pretty bad outside, the pests go after them like nuts, these leaf miners are tearing them up.

My sativa slang (which is actually just an updated form of early girl) has NO problems with leaf miners and they sit right next to the dwarfs, some plants are just resistant to insects but the little dwarfs are not. I hope they do OK, I want atleast 5 grams off each one haha.

im in europe so i am in the northern hemisphere!! im guerilla growing in the wilderness!! i was going to add as many water retaining materials to my soil as i could!! i just want to go to the site as few times as possible!! i know that u water non autoflowering plants every three weeks and was wondering if the same would go for AF dwarfs! i was thinking of digging holes and fitting in 11litre pots with my hot soil and all water retaining materials and go every three weeks to water them!! im building a water catcher so i dont need to hike my water in and i want to build it now that it still rains because in a month and a half rain will be very very scarce!!!! if i leave the pots in the wilderness without berrying them then its easy to know when they need water but i was thinking of berrying them so they are not easily conspicuous!! thanks for the help bro!!! ow also the thing is that i need to be stealthy and growing over 2ft plants wouldnt help thats why im choosing the AF dwarfs also i will get natural 12/12 sept oct i want to have harvested 3-4 batches till then!! wish i could grow 9ft 2 pounders but i cant

il use natural insect repellents and a mesh cage for animals!! 5g only??? wow thats so little!!! i was thinking i would get a half ounce of each u think this is hard?? we sure get loads of sun here!!!

thanks bro but im trying not to be going to the site often so going there and checking the pots isnt a very good option! alos il be berrying the pots for stealth so i will only be able to tell from soil!! but my plan was to go there 2-3 times and water nothing more!! im also considering making a automated watering system thats why i need to know more details!!! thanks for the post though!!
