Oh brother you're going to get a lot of varying opinion Jimmy and there's going to be a lot of good arguments behind each

My way is to water till about 20% run off and then let it get dry to the point where it's a few hours from starting the first signs of wilting before I water again

I judge by weight but being new I wouldn't recommend you let it go that dry until you know how to tell by weight, should you try watering my way?
-good luck!

Oh shit that's right you said half Coco! I don't get involved with Coco, I know nothing about it, never going to use it. I did read that initially so I don't know why I answered, sorry amigo?

* nice looking plant by the way!
Cheers, vegged outside and flowered inside

Very nice looking plant! :weed:

I'm only using soil in my grow bags, but they need watered more often than standard pots. I water my 3 gallon grow bag (only soil, no coco) every 48 hours. The pot is very lightweight by then. I used to water every 3-4 days when I used a plastic pot with holes at the bottom. I can't go that long with the grow bag.
