watering

yeah, we all know plants need water. tht is a given. we are wondering if anybody knows wht is the maximum a plant can go with out.

goes without saying tht the hotter and sunnier it is the drier they becoem but we are just wondering under normal conditons and no rain for more thn a week. anybody evr try and see how long they will last???

yeah id say a week when its hot if you've lots of rotted cow manure to hold moisture. and indoors 200ml every 48 hours.

you dont really wanna see how long you can go due to it could cause some problems with your plant

if planted in the ground...depends on your cliamate, i have almost never wattered an in ground plant unless i was applying nutrients, they will quickly grow a tap root down to the water table and you wont have to worry about it unless you get a lot of severe droughts were you live.

Oddly indoors my plants are growing VERY VEYR nicely with like 200ml a WEEK.. yeah when i try and do every 2 days 200ml my plants show over watering crap.. (5 gallon bucket).. no clue other then 73oF temps.. =/

out doors the rain just smashed the hell out of my plants..

thts a lot of good info eh, yeah my problem is i got anxious and ended putting them in 5 gallons buckets and making 20 drops. yeah maybe not the smartest thing eh, but god i hope tht they can go 4-5 days without.

thnxs for the 411

I'm sooo glad that this thread was started. O.k. Here's the deal. I have 11 plants outside, that were started inside. I have a few in 1 gallon black square pots, and are ready to be transplanted. I have 3 gallon grow bags, Its really hot here in Ga. Do I use the grow bags, it seems like the sun will be baking them, and I'll have to water daily? Should I go w/something else. Please advise if someone should know this answer.

if i were you i would dig a hole that fits the grow bags nicely, then set them in and cover the top of the bag with dead grass so it blocks some of the light and makes the grow bags less obvious, if you do that, i could see no reason for it overheating and you still reserve the right to move them without transplanting.
