Pots Dry Out Too Slow

My guess would be, your plants aren't drinking a lot of water because they're not getting enough energy to full photosynthesis. Like, it's not recieving a full day of light. Is it just sitting next to the window? You got a fan nearby?
You could well be right, certainly for the greenhouse plant. Not too many sunny days where I live. No fan but I do try to keep a good airflow through the greenhouse by opening all the windows. Have been a lot of dull days lately which I guess slows down the drying rate as you say. Will be moving that indoors once I have the space.
Issues with the indoor 3 may well go way as they grow into the pots I guess. Thanks for the info.

That's awesome man. I love the idea. It's the best of both worlds. Stability and more Oxygen to the roots. I'm gonna have to try that shit. Nice job.

Moving plants from outside to in is just asking for major bug infestations. But back to the "big plant" not drinking much..... its not flowering or anything. If you chopped that bitch down and put it on a scale it might weigh what, 4-8 ounces. If it was in full flower all bushed out, it would weigh multiple pounds. Plants just dont use that much water when they are vegging like that.

Well that is fantastic news. Fingers crossed she will work out and drink more as she flowers.

I know its risky moving the plant in. On the other hand so is growing weed in your garden when you live in a housing estate! I have already done this with one plant, got a few gnats but was able to get rig of them. Think I'll wait a bit and see how stinky she gets and make a call then. Only other option will be the compost pile.

Thanks
