I know everyone says not to over water and I try to monitor that very closely, but this plant seems to react more drastically to under watering rather than over watering.
I try to water every other day but I have learned to keep the soil a little damp an inch below the surface and sometimes I have to water every day. It gets droopy quick if it doesn't get enough water. The plant is nearing harvest, 4' tall and is in a pot that is 9 inches across (don't know gallon) and I have it in a closet using a 400 watt hps.
The temps tend to get a little hot - like 90 deg F so I don't know if that makes a difference. The plant seems to like it tho, as it looks pretty healthy with lots of buds but this being my first and only female I want to be sure it makes it to the end.
So my question is: is it normal for flowering plants in soil to sometimes require more water than at other times?
