What’s the exact watering schedule you use?

How to create a good watering schedule without a soil sensor?
I used to follow the FloraFlex schedule. I decided to change it to try and get better results. Any suggestions? My pot is 7 liters, and I’m on day 33 of flowering.

how often do you currently water and how much volume at a time. write that down, theres your schedule. you dont need a soil sensor the top of your pot will get dry. often youll see your media shrink slightly around the edge of your pot

I water every day, 4 to 5 times a day. 150 ml for 2 minutes. Always with an interval of at least 1 hour. My VPD is on average 1.45kpa

You shouldn’t water everyday with regular soil. Watering everyday would be for coco. When I did soil I watered about every 2 days but they were in 5 gallon buckets. You should be in a bigger pot than 7 liters with soil unless you’re doing small plants

I'm in 5 gallon fabric pots, soil with dry amendments. They each can take about 5 to 6L every 2 days days. I've actually split that and hit them everyday with 2.5L. They're thriving! Good dry back daily, but not hydrophobic.
