What type of pot is the 5 gal? Fabric, air, just a normal 5 gal bucket?

Is it outside in the sun? If it's indoors, what is your humidity and temperature?

Are you watering until saturation and runoff?

5 gal is kind of a tiny pot for a good sized plant. Idk how ppl can go 5 days without water my shit would be droopy. Fabric pots typically require more watering than solid sides. Watering every 2-3 days is normal for soil grows. In the summer I might water daily. It is better to water lightly and more often than it is to drown them every few days imo.

Fabric indoors 77 / 81 Canopy temp RH 30 /45 and Richard Some people don’t have room for 10/15 gallon pots. My plants usually go every 3 days but this girl is every 36 and yes watering to saturation every time and runoff every other time.

I’d love to see a photo. How long did you veg her? Is it just one plant or do you have multiples going feeding all the same? I would love to only water my plants that far apart , believe that one. I’m gonna check out kinsoil products what exactly are you growing in ? By the way my genetics are Ethos in case anyone’s interested.

Is it normal for a soil grow to need water every 36 hrs?? One of my girls is drinking a lot of water. 5 gallon soil grow week 4 flower?

I've had drip systems running for 15 mins 3 times a day before. @ least a half gallon per feeding per plant. They get used to it and will get Jurassic...

No, just hung em. I'll weight after I trim and am ready to cure. Here's a picture from yesterday as I was cutting them out of the scrog net. I'm hoping for around 400 grams, hopefully more!

Good luck on your Harvest , most important part. Steady humidity and that wait till branch snaps crap. That’s a day to late for me. I’m just learning not to go by things I read on the internet. Love this page.
