I watered my plants about 6 hours ago but no water was drained from the pots. It seems like I did not give them enough water.

What should I do? Should I go ahead and add more water now or just give'em more water the next time I water them?

Thank You

5 gallon pots

2 liter was given

yes, fully soak the pots, don't water again until the top two inches of the soil is dry. The soil needs to dry in between waterings.

OK gangja,

So I leave them alone and (I wont add any more water) wait for three more days to water them again. This was the first time that I did not water them enough. I hope nothing bad happens. I was worried.

Thanks Again

I use distilled water and lower the PH in it, but this time I had to add fertz to the water. I measured the PH and it was 6.4 (the fertz lowered the PH).

I watered the plants today (2 Quarts each which is alittle more than 2 litters). The water drained from the holes. The drained water was more for the shorter plants and less for the longer plants. After about 45 minutes, the water in the saucers holding the taller plants dissappeared (it seems like the water was pulled back through the drainage holes). Is this normal? Do you expect this to happen?

Thanks
